We have no water? I leek somewhere?

We woke up this morning with a trickle of cold water and no hot water! The water company informed us that there was a burst pipe and that workmen were at the scene.

On my way to work and after a pleasant sponge bath, I came across a river gushing down the road – “ah, there the problem – someone looking into that?”. The workman were all on phones looking complete out of their depth (ha!).

I don’t imagine that they will get that fixed any time soon, and while they are I bet they will have to cut the water off!

British Museum

While in central London looking for camera equipment for travelling, we thought it was a opportune moment to visit the British Museum.

As with all visits there, it is best to view the less busy exhibitions. We found ourselves in the Africa and Americas exhibitions – where we got ourselves all excited about our trip, looking at all the really old Eskimo and African artefacts.

By far the most interesting for me though, was the Aztec collection, with its colourful sculptures and carvings. Got some nice photos on my mobile.
