Tut, tut, tut.

We went to see this Tutankhamun exhibition at the O2 arena on Monday. We bought the ticket last minute off eBay and we almost didn't get in, because it wouldn't scan through. We had to wait for ages for the ticket manager to sort it out, it was so embarrassing! As one family from the queue passed us this man turned around and whispered 'good luck'. We sure needed it, I was amazed we actually got in in the end! We were all so startled/panicky because we buy tickets online a lot and it has never caused a problem before.

It was quite interesting when we did see it, especially looking at all the statues and miniatures and thinking how on earth they survived that long. In fact, some looked almost new. I don't know whether this is due to the restorations but still, it sent chills down my spine thinking how old everything was...
On the way there, we saw many a shop that I longed to go into. Unfortunately, mum wasn't in the best of moods so shopping was banned for the day. I was a bit of a disappointment because we literally drove all the way to London, saw the exhibition, then drove straight back, and I was a bit annoyed that we didn't spend more time there. I guess my my mum tried her best to find us something interesting to do whilst we are stuck without being able to go on holiday for yet the second summer, but I wished it would last! I could understand her though because she had a v. bad headache, and with a headache you lose interest in anything that can't cure it. Fact.

Looking at the above shop made me so sad! Perhaps it used to be a really cool little boutique, but now it's all run down and horrible. I also took sneaky photos of some stylish people I saw. They are not the best I'm afraid, mainly because I took them from a moving car and there were only a few people I could 'catch' before they slipped out of view! The last one is mainly for aww and handbag purposes.
