(Almost) the last chance to see Hadrian…

Couldn’t concentrate on my writing, so went along to the British Museum this afternoon. I was glad I did, as I’d been meaning to see the Hadrian exhibition before it closes: the last day of the exhibition is Sunday 26 October 2008. If you’re in London—or planning to be—over the next 3 days, I’d highly recommend taking it in.
