diary - may 17th, 2011.

dear diary and dear you (and you, and also you), i stray again from the usual content of this blog to share a tiny snapshot, some promised photographs, of a happy adventure. this year for my birthday the rainclouds that have been hanging over the city for weeks parted for one day and i had ancient bones, and a shrunken head, magic lantern slides of the egyptian pyramids and little stuffed beasts. and i was very happy.
