Torstai, toivoa

You can call it hard life. Scarcely you have fallen asleep before people come to ask you to table. Left hotel before eight, back now, hungry.

In the evening or to/morrow it seems possible to write something, thanks to British Telecom's not too expensive voucher + laptop.

I had forgotten that grounded plug of the charger is OK in bathroom, using the socket intended for shavers. Well, perhaps you better not toflush watere then.

As promised I shall be back. Now I only mention that thanks to inisitence of Lauri we actually paid a visit to Imperial War Museum's rather new Churchill Museum in his onetime bunker. As a matter of fact all England, all Army, Navy and RAF got their orders from there during the Blitz.

Thinking of the 250 kg bombs the place seemd a bit childish. It would not have resisted a hit. Later on, it was reinforced.

The place felt like a submarine. People with claustrophobic leanings should not go there.

Nut I take up the museum, because I belileve it weas one of the best new museums I have seen. Physical memories and wax-figurines were cannily blended together with very modern IT-technology.

You really get some information and a smack of things past.

Formidable! Even the political idea is easy to notice. This place is intended to show to the British that there were interesting people and intelligent life even before Blair and before Thatcher.

National propaganda - and I fully agree with it.

Then again - there seems to be a new book on the Bomber Boys, where the natinal neurosis caused by the terrible bombings of the German cities is discussed in earnest.

I never knew that the Royal Air Force had 122 000 people, of whom 55 000 were killed in action.

So,we were in Cambridge, discussed a lot of interesting things with Lionel, we met with Sir John Eliot Gardner, we do not have time to meet with Sir Robin etc.

Myself I feel it is a good idea to visit big cities as long as it is physically possible, It will not be a long time.
