Kevin Doesn't . . . know what else to tell you about himself, so he made a list that may or may not be too long about his pointless quirks.

Was visiting Coops and Jen this weekend, and we decided, rather than waste our Sunday, we would go to the Natural History Museum. It's cool -- I love walking round museums like that -- but we were only in there for an afternoon, so we only saw a fraction of the exhibits. Like everyone says, you need a good couple of days to see everything contained therein. Luckily admission to these museums in London is free now, so it's quite easy to make a couple of trips to get the job finished (assuming, that is, you have yourself a couple of days in London spare).

And of course, there's always the National Science Museum after that.

And the art galleries :)

I actually had a couple of story ideas as well, as I walked round the life galleries. Seeing all of the prehistoric animals (fossils, casts and illustrations) has made me think about getting back to work on the fantasy novel I have been planning (you may have seen me refer to it as Beastmaster or some such). Really want to get back into this one, especially seeing as my ideas have been so few and far between recently.

Not only inside, but outside as well. Out the front of the building there was a huge Earth from the Air exhibition (photographs by Yann Arthus-Bertrand ). Some amazing photographs there, and lots of inspiration. Coops, Jen and I spent a good hour or so walking around the displays, the others trying to decide which one they wanted for their living room walls. In the end they went home empty handed because they couldn't decide between Jesus and a glacier.

Kevin Doesn't . . . answer back, doesn't follow you home and set fire to your house, and when deflated can be stored easily in any drawer.

Things go well. Despite no inspiration for the Water Fairytales challenge at the Workshop (next month, maybe), I've been reviewing again and in a more positive frame of mind.

Cooked for my gf for the first time on Friday. She's still with me, so I'm counting that as a result ;)

Still reading Prince of Ayodhya.

This Friday, we are going to see Badly Drawn Boy play at the Eden Project. I've not listened to much of his stuff, but I've been doing my research this past week, and I'm looking forward to it now (not to mention the fact that we actually get to walk round the project beforehand).

Later . . .
