elessahmmm... with fingers crossed tightly i sincerely hope to be walking in the british isles again this fall. i may accompany the big dude with whom i work, and pray to the gods i eventually organize and get into a more profitable mode with the wondrous work he does. i am finding out the intricacies of providing props for hollywood. hopefully, with some diligence i can bring more public recognition for his contributions. heh, that would certainly help fund this expedition.
he hast plans to go to london for the rubber ball with his current muse. they are busily designing some costumes for her using his skill at metal work to construct her something stunning.
ah, the joys of working for an armourer. he has a taste for books that only barely exceeds mine, hence why i informed him that i shall be tagging along to britain. i wish to peruse the used bookstores there. this time with a budget. didn't take that into account when i went in 2004. yea, i bought some sweet first editions of sir walter scott and sir arthur conan doyle, but there wasn't a budget for books that time.
i also missed an opportunity to see the petrie museum of egyptian archaeology at the university college of london when i was there. it is opened on limited days, and the day i was free to visit, they were closed. hence, another reason to return.
it is about a half hour walk from the british museum (i should know... i walked it only to discover it was closed that day). a chance to return to the british museum to spend more time in the celtic and roman galleries viewing armour and weapons. what more could a girl ask for?
oh, i know... a trip to leeds to the royal armouries for a behind the scenes viewing of the collection. quite possible since the big dude knows the curators there personally. also, i would like to see him get more involved in conservation and reconstruction/repairs of antique arms and armaments for museums and collectors. hmmmm... to actually see and hold the maximilian helmet... that just sends shivers down my spine.
yea, i know... i am a strange girl. tis a great thought to look forward to, though.
