I see dead people (and animals)

Well, the weekend has been very busy so far.

Yesterday The Mister and I went out on a little jolly to London. After wandering around for a couple of hours and paying a brief visit to Borough market so I could look at all the fruit and veg stalls (and most importantly the chocolate and nut sweets stall!) we made away down to the 02 arena at Greenwich to see the Bodyworlds: Mirror of Time.

I have a bit of a fascination with this sort of exhibition anyway and I have seen a few of the the models before the last time it was in London, but there were some new, and quite extraordinary exhibits. About half way around The Mister commented that he would like to see Gunther von Hagens plastinate an elephant. What we did not expect as we rounded the final corner of the exhibition was a fully-grown plastinated giraffe. Amazing. This picture here wasn’t taken by me because it was banned… so I borrowed one of t’internet.

We then decided to get the boat from the O2 arena all the way up to Waterloo which was a lovely way to see a few more of the sights. To round off the day we met up with a bunch of people from The Ship of Fools. It was a fun day, but I feel knackered now and we have been very bad and have not gone to church today.
