Vikings are here!

.... at Melbourne Museum, that is....

I had to work last evening (it was the AGM) but the bonus was that afterwards we all got a private viewing of the new Vikings Exhibition and oh, it was so fabulous.  Here is a taste of what I saw....

Stunning jewellery .... (I took many more pics but these are some of my favourites)

 

Lots of screens with wonderful Nordic images...

These are rivets from a Viking ship, hung to outline the shape of the ship.

There were also lots of more interactive displays....

You can lift this Viking sword to test its weight and balance (but you actually can't swing it around, luckily!).

.... and I will just leave you with Furio looking forlornly as I left for the AGM, saying "What are you going to work for now?  When you should be reading this book with me!"

Well, that is all from me.  Please come back tomorrow to join in the fun for the 

Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop 2018.

GRAND DESIGNS EAGLEMONT: THE TWO HOUSE PROJECT: BACK HOUSE_WEEK FOUR

.... Now we have holes.... and mud!  Quite a lot of progress this week as the builders start making holes all over the backyard for the stumps.  Which, over the weekend filled with water from heavy rain (sorry, forgot to take a pic of that - lol!)

TraderVic and I feel that maybe this house will be a reality after all - lol!

Now, just for those who are wondering what on earth I am talking about, here is some background:

As I have mentioned to you all previously, TraderVic are embarking upon a major building project - we are building two brand new homes on our very large block here in Eaglemont.  This will eventually necessitate pulling down our family home and replacing it with a brand new "dream" home for TraderVic and I.  This will be the Front House.  As our block is so large, we are also building another home in the back yard whilst still living in the original house.  This is called the Back House and is being built first.  I am hoping to document this grand adventure every week. I hope that you enjoy sharing this journey with me.
