What a day!

I got home really late (for me) and now it's 8.15 and I really haven't doen anything yet. After school I had to go shopping, and as the supermarket didn't have the Help! DVD, I had to go across to the record shop. That and traffic tailbacks meant I got home 3 hours after leaving work.

And what a day at work! The reading book I'm doing with my class at present is about ancient mysteries including the tomb of Tutankhamun. I casually asked the Head if I could take them to see the Tutankhamun exhibition which is about to start at the O2 (the new name for the Millennium Dome). He didn't hesitate.

I had some non-contact time, so I started investigating, got some phone numbers, then started the battle of the recorded voice giving choices, none of which seems to fit. Eventually I managed to book tickets for November 15th (the only ones for such a number left before April!) and paid for them myself as they "cannot send you an invoice"! This is a business, right? I mean, this is a ticket agency. And they can't send out an invoice! The school will pay me back, though.

Anyway, I'm going to see King Tut in two weeks time! Yippeeeeeee!

This is the solid gold third coffin, decorated with semi-precious stones and glass paste. It won't be in the exhibition.
The second coffin is gilded wood inlaid with glass paste. I doubt it will be in the exhibition either. And of course the gold mask won't be there this time. But I'M GOING TO SEE KING TUT!!!! FOR FREEEEEEEEEEE!!!
