A weekend in London. Strange to go back when things are very different from the last time. And stressful in the run up. But it turned out just right. First a productive work trip - Friday was a training day at the Royal Society for exhibitors at their 2013 Summer Science Exhibition, where the Iceland project I'm working on will be showing off its achievements. It looks like it's going to be a whole lot of work to get together something really good to wow the thousands of visitors to the exhibition, but fun too!
The rest of the time was a too-rare chance to hang out with old friends. To talk, laugh, cook, eat and drink oh so well and copiously, and feel better about the world. And we got to go to the Ice Age art exhibition at the British Museum, which I loved. Incredible Palaeolithic carved bone, antler and stone, and ceramics, with such accurate representations of the world around them, and yet such confident artistic freedom. They make people from ten, twenty, forty thousand years ago - our ancestors! - come vividly to life.
