Lizzie, if you're ever in Leicester you must go to the New Walk gallery, there's an Ancient Egypt exhibition, which while it is nothing special features the following:

4 mummies - variously a priest of Min (which one's Min), a scribe, a teenage girl and a poor unfortunate female mummy who got put in the wrong box so that the future Edward VII could discover something on one of his trips to Egypt.

Stuff discovered by Petrie

And, the pies de resistance, a mummified cat, a mummified kitten and two mummified falcons.

Also there's an interesting portrait exhibition on at the moment and a dinosaur thing. But I figured that most people would be interested in the mummies.

See, this is why I shouldn't be allowed to go to museums, they excite me :)

Sete Gibernau in the motorbikes makes Kimi Raikonnen seem lucky. Pech happened again.
But Jeremy McWilliams got to race (he's the person I'm numbered 99 after). Admittedly this was only because KR racing's engine manufacturers pulled out and he's the only one stupid enough to race last year's Proton engine, which didn't work even when it was new, and definitely doesn't work now.

Will probably end up watching the things about Nelson's Navy tonight, but apart from that there's nothing else on so I will be very, very bored.
