VK gave me an excavation kit toy - a block of plaster you patiently chip, scrape and brush away with the implements provided to reveal faux Egyptian artefacts made of metal. This wannabe archaeologist "discovered" a classic sphinx and a twin-horsed chariot. The latter object was trickier to clean as it was more finely detailed, with crannies too tiny for the digging tool (I had to draft in a cocktail stick). Overall, it was an unusual and fun - if dust-generating - diversion for a rainy Sunday afternoon, and the washed and lightly buffed treasures are now on display in the Addster Museum, aka. a shelf in my DVD bookcase.


Nice with rice: mustard'n'chive chicken. Mum cooked up a storm when she and Dad visited yesterday :-)
