Day 56 - Memories of Snow (Spring is coming)

Did some object handling for my "Ancient Egypt in London" class. It was interesting to be able to touch these archaeological objects (although through a glove) and observe it up close, instead of being barricaded away by a layer of glass. As my lecturer always say "These objects have survived for 5000 years, it will be good it can survive at least a few more years".
She told us about idiots from other classes who damaged the objects during object handling classes.

How?

Idiot No. 1 was wondering how strong the metallic object on his hands was. He proceed to bend it, and of course it broke.

Idiot No. 2 scraped some paint off an object to see how strong the paint is stuck to the object.

Of course, there were near idiotic cases during our class, like one who took the object away from the table edge, until she was reminded. Perhaps wearing gloves and handling object has the same effect as wearing a helmet during NS.

Anyway on a unrelated note, I've finally uploaded the photos that were in my phone. These are photos taken when London snowed in......

Just one block of walking and this is the amount of snow accumulated on my water bottle. Ironically, I had such fantasies when I wanted ice water on a hot day in Singapore.

A shopowner made use of the snow outside her shop to attract attention. The bandana is just so cute.

Remains of a snow man, outside Brunswick. Not sure if you can see the fallen carrot nose and buttons, as well as the twig hands. Taken on the 3rd day after the snow was over.

And on my way back today, I saw these

Spring is definitely coming.
