Welcome back Lena!Good afternoon, roommates! I was swamped with work, volunteering, and, well, migraines. Almost looking forward to the weekend for a change!
I accompanied daughter’s Year 2 as well as Year 3 classes to the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen. They have their own Diplodocus, much like the British Dippy, only called Misty.

It was discovered by a 13-year-old and his younger brother who had been sent away to “just dig over there” and not disturb their paleontologist dad.
The teachers then surprised me with a large and heavy gift as a token of appreciation. I very much want to keep it but am not sure how we can possibly take it to Canada:

The migraines are due to stress, exacerbated by an unpleasant situation involving some parents in our class—and me. A little private hell I brought upon myself. Serves me right for volunteering so much (and overestimating people’s intelligence).
Sorry for being AWOL. Which, in Canadian English, seems to be AWL—from my reading this week.
Sorry to hear about the pains in the head and the butt!
Migraines are awful and I hope the situation with the other parents has resolved itself.
After 112 years Dippy has been replaced by a Blue whale skeleton in the NHM in London. He is currently doing a farewell tour of the UK visiting various museums.
I think the original skeleton is still in Pittsburg though.
That's a lovely gift from the staff - it's always nice to be appreciated. Such a shame you can't take it with you. Maybe you could donate it back to the school for them to use in their garden to remember you by!!
I hope you manage to have a peaceful and migraine free weekend!
