NEW ASHMOLEAN PART 6 yawn!!!
Hi all
This is the home service.......weather very windy and light drizzle expected, so what else is new??. No way am i staying in and with a giant organic bacon sandwich and two cups of columbian coffee i was off. First i had to visit George and Felix(you remember the kitten!!).I left the hearse in the car park and after a chat with them headed off into town, man that cat has grown.I had to take a shot of an old painted brick sign for a ghost sign flickr group, so with that done headed for the museum lol!!.Then i remebered the book sale at Borders with 50% off nice!!. I couldnt believe i saw the book i had been wanting for so long, when i grabbed it and got to the counter i was told there was a mistake, there was 70% off more nice!!. So a £35 book for £10.50 was ok with me, sometimes just sometimes i get lucky!!.
So all you b/w lovers who dont have a copy of Jim McCullens 'In England' get one if you can.The Ashmo (and i cant spell it for laughing now Nicky) was hectic with intruder alarms going off and mad people. One crazy guy was pushing it with a female attendant and it was getting very awkward. As i was chatting to yuriko a japanese VSA, a woman with a baby in a pram came arounf the corner and garbled something in English and gave me a V sign, she shot off around the back out of sight. I have no idea what is going on today but hey lets take some photos lol!!
I waited for this guy to move closer to the Busts whilst on the ground floor and got him right where i wanted him, in colour and later in sepia ta!!. The second is a ceramic vase detail. The third, another angle on a statue i did previously but it looks like hes having a really good read . And the fourth was in the museum labratory exhibit. Its a touch box with three materials, glass, metal and wood. The idea is to calculate over a period of time the deterioration of the materials from sweat and any other things we happen to give off. Its a bit of an odd one but you must know me by now lol!!
thanks and bye
Dedicated to Jennie as i know she likes a good read before bed time lol!
