Hi Everyone

Happy Birthday Nakhla. 100 years old (+1.3 Billion of course) and still going strong. I am assuming the telegraph from the Queen somehow got lost in the post! By an extraordinary coincidence, I was actually installing the Nakhla into its new case in our soon to be re-opened galleries here at the National Museums Scotland. I did raise a chorus of "Happy Birthday" and held a minute's silence for the dog. When those nice young men in white coats didn't appear, I assumed it was safe to continue.

Hope everyone who went to Ensisheim had a great time. The photos I have seen look good - how did Graham Ensor get in so many? See you all in Denver

Cheers
