Fever

So the World Cup has finally started and we are all being deafened by those silly buzzy trumpet things. I watched a bit of the France/Uruguay match and it was like a swarm of bees. Quite annoying. In fact, Nicktor from his gout induced lounge reclining, was annoyed after 7 minutes of the South Africa/Mexico game. Not that it’ll stop me watching the England games…and any others I can manage.

Today I finished off the Location Project at the museum. It started in 2007 and has been given to just about every volunteer. And finally, it’s completed. I entered the final location at 3:30 this afternoon.

Nick (my boss) has suggested I help Rachel (the other Australian volunteer) with the Art Project. I’m not sure what that is but after the thrills and dangers of the Location Project, I can only hope I survive next week.

Something I didn’t know until this afternoon…if you need a thermometer but can’t find one, use a cricket. All you do is count the number of chirps over 25 seconds, add 13 and then divide by 3. This will give you the temperature in Celsius. I’m not sure how well a cricket can chirp from underneath a tongue, though.

I stuck a couple of England flags on the top of one of the obelisks in order to make Mirinda laugh. It worked.

It’s odd but I keep getting photos from my phone with what appears to be mist in them. I’ve worked out what it is. When the phone is in my pocket I tend to fiddle with it and sticking my finger in the camera hole is basically unavoidable. It’s my greasy fingers!
