Weekend report.

My aim on Saturday was to go and see the Car Museum in Turin...but the fates conspired against me and it was closed for building work...damn. I would have love to have seen some of the things there and find out about manufacturing and design. Oh I found out that Guigairo(?) is based in a place on the edge of Turin...might go for a nosey. Anyway, I have a bit of a cut on ankle from being clumsy and I went to get some stuff to clean it with. Luckly anti-septic is the same in Italian, but with an A on the end. I then suggested to John that we might find the famous Egypitan musem interesting. He wasnt keen. I was about to go on my own and he then decided to come. Its a big old spot in the Science academy in the middle of town. All the stuff there has been bought legally so there is no fruore about it being rightfully Egyptian, unlike the effectivly nicked stuff in the British Museum...Chumps. Its very good but you know egyptian stuff, dusty, broken and old with eyes and birds painted on everything. Dont get me wrong its great but after an hour or two it starts looking the same. And yes there were mummys there. Cool.

If afraid I just worked on Sunday, weather was a bit naff so just stayed in. Sigh.
