Natural History Museum
We went to the Natural History Museum on Saturday. First we went to the 'Earth from the air' outdoor exhibition which is just outside the museum. The exhibition consists of many huge prints of beautiful views of the land, taken from a helicopter, in various locations. There is also a serious message regarding our use and abuse of resources. If it comes to your town definately check it out.
After looking at the exhibition we went into the museum and enjoyed browsing through the displays and being in the beautifully restored building. There were moving dinosaurs, huge globes and stuffed animals galore!
New flat
We're all moved in to our new flat now. We've found spots for everything but it doesn't feel like home yet. I guess it takes a little while to make a place your own. We've made a start by putting some pictures up including a poster of one of our favourite photos from the 'Earth from the air' exhibition. This goes perfectly in our bedroom.
We'll take some pics of our new digs for the photo gallery when we get back from Spain.
My Dad is a TV STAR!
Around lunchtime on Sunday Joseph was watching telly and called out to me "Your Dad's on the TV!". I rushed into the lounge and sure enough there was Charles in full Chinese garb acting as a Confuscious style Grandfather on a TV series called 'Revelations'. Luckily Steve had a video tape near by and we caught most of the programme with some choice acting by Dad included! I don't think this programme was bought by any of the local Kiwi TV stations so it was so lucky that we caught the very episode that Dad was in whilst the show was on over here. Fantastic!
The story....
This series centres around a young lad who travels around, and I think travels through time, and helps out people in need. A bit like Sam in Quantum Leap. It's a children's programme. As I mentioned Dad, the grandfather, and his grandson were in some small American town. They weren't treated well by the locals and some bullys threaten them by demanding 'security' payments. Dad/Grandfather refuses to pay and places his trust in fate and justice. To cut a long story short the baddies light fire to Dad's shop/home with the goodies inside. But, the main baddie gets caught inside the firey inferno as well. Dad comes along and saves the goodies and then goes back into the inferno (well maybe I'm exaggerating a little) and saves the baddie. So the baddie changes his ways and re builds Dad's shop for him. The End!
Well done Dad. We're so proud of you!
