is getting done this week and weekend around here, because this is one of those weeks where I am not destined to be at home much.

But there are very good reasons for it: A very short-notice work trip took me to London yesterday. Yay! And even better, the work commitments ended just after lunch, with my colleague asking if I had plans for the extra time before we had to catch our flight home.

Me? Plans? Of course, I have plans! Apparently, he didn’t but he was happy to tag along to see Charlie and the Whale…

I had not been back to the Natural History Museum for a couple of years, and this was the first time since they changed out the dinosaur for the blue whale in Hintze Hall. It is huge. What a great idea to feature it in the main hall. It really let you get a sense of scale and perspective to see it stretching almost all along the main entrance.

We didn’t have a lot of time, certainly not enough to look at anything in detail or wonder off in many of the specialist areas, but I did make a point of us saying Hi to Pickwick’s great-great-great-grandma/pa.

I love this place.
