In an odd twist, tonight, when KSP and Jonas brought the car back, Emma rushed out to greet them only to bark at KSP before happily and quietly going to Jonas with her tail wagging. This was most unusual.
Something else that was most unusual was me getting to watch an entire round of snooker on the telly. Mirinda was at a ballet performance in Stockholm and, subsequently, didn’t get home until well after the snooker was finished. (A win for Judd Trump over Gary Wilson.) It was a shame it wasn’t cricket but, still…
Actually, after the snooker, I watched an interesting programme about a group of Suffolk volunteers who are building a copy of the Sutton Hoo buried Anglo-Saxon boat. They are using old methods and taking a long time but, the aim is to, eventually, row it out to sea. It is an amazing project.
The amazing thing is how they worked out the details of the construction. The original left only an imprint in the ground and iron rivets in the sandy joins. The 1939 archaeological dig resulted in a very detailed set of drawings which, a few years ago, were turned into a digital version of the boat. This digital version was then used to create usable plans; and so the build began.
It was a bit disappointing when the programme ended, but the building didn’t. They still have a few years to go. It’s slow work but, as experimental archaeology, will be well worth it in the end.
The ballet was also well worth it, or so Mirinda asserted. Personally, I was happy being at home, along with another snooker fan.
This was her shocked expression when Trump missed an easy red.
