Sabbatical

The view from my office floor--so many skylights in this house--which are fun with puffy spring clouds. 

We took ill-fated advantage of the British Museum's Friday evening hours to take the boys to something they'd each enjoy--Blaze likes Egyptian stuff; Q likes Greek stuff. 

Above: Cobras on a Pharaoh's clothing. 

We learned about the Rosetta stone together. 

The problem is--we're all tired on Friday evenings. 

Greek gods--above and below, exquisitely carved. 

 

Female gods. 

The sign pointed out that there are different fabrics in her dress and in the cloak across her knees. 

Nereids. 

I loved the fabric details in their clothing. 

The sleeves. 

We had been contemplating Athens to fit with Q's interests--I'm glad we didn't go because all 35 minutes we spent in the museum were eristic. I think we're done traveling for this year. 

More spring clouds.
