Just a quick note to say that Alma and I met Mark Roberts and Dr Lisa in Oxford today. Lovely to see them and we started with a bite to eat in one of Oxford's hidden secrets: Edamame
<http://www.edamame.co.uk/> Even I didn't know it was there and I've been patrolling the streets of Oxford since 1988! On to the Bodleian to see an exhibition of 800 years of medical history - Dr Lisa was quite engrossed. A small room of displays and exhibits detailing Oxford's achievements in the treatment of human beings. Liked the penicillin displays. Lots of olde worlde texte bookes in Latin - where the fucke is Bobe when one needes him. Mark, here's a link for Lisa re Dr Gunter von Chopemupandplastinate: <http://www.bodyworlds.com/en/gunther_von_hagens/life_in_science.html> Worthwhile googling him and looking at the images. In real life the exhibits are astonishing. ... To Blackwells bookshops for a bit of retail therapy. I was fondling a virgin copy of Don McCullin's 'Shaped By War' for my son Stefan but it was 25 quid and lo and behold only 16.95 on Amazon later at home. I would rather buy from Blackwells but we don't have lots of spare cash these days so needs must. Mark found interest in a book on design for use in his professorial capacities, and indeed later returned to the shop after we had departed, presumable to covertly purchase a copy of 'Tits and Bums Annual 2014'. Mark your secret is safe with me. Time disappeared quickly and we retired to the coffee shop in the cellar of the Ashmolean Museum (again - never been in there!) where we chatted about members of the PDML we'd like to meet. I've prepared a list which I will publish in another thread - if your name's on there, please buy a ticket to London and we'll see you there. It was good to see Mark and Lisa and we bade them farewell. It's such a long time since I've travelled anywhere for pleasure - indeed I think 2009 to Grandfather Mountain was the last time! We won't get the chance this year, but I am hopeful that in 2015 we'll be able to head across the pond and do a proper tour. Very much looking forward to that. In the meantime I'll have to persevere and settle for the pain of thumbing Jostein's book when it arrives. As you were. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
