	The Museum
	by Tav

I was chatting with friends about my emigration and my friend pointed out that I will miss the opening of the new Carpet Museum in Kidderminster. It is due to open in October 2012. Sadly it's true, I will miss this .

This is one of many others things I will miss. Could I be so bold as to ask you a blurfer of the 'Agenda to blog the opening for me? If you can, write it out and take a couple of photos and send them to me. I'll then share it with everyone else on the 'Agenda.

Speaking of the museum, I was reading that nominations are being accepted (deadline: Friday 10 February 2012) for Museums and Heritage Awards in May. Hey wouldn't it be a real boost for the new museum to get the 'Restoration/Conservation Award' for adapting the Grade II listed 19th-century Stour Vale Mill into a museum.

I've been very tempted recently to buy a headcam to record my go-karting escapades... perhaps if I do have one by then (perhaps for my birthday in October!) and if they'll give me permission, I could wear it around the museum and share it on YouTube! I will risk the funny looks and possible full-on scorn of my fellow museum attendees...

A headcam! Cool! I want one.

Somewhat cheaper than that one....

OMG! I've just realised that my underwater/bicycle camera could easily be mounted on a head. I already have one.

Tav: "OMG! I've just realised that my underwater/bicycle camera could easily be mounted on a head. I already have one." @Tav: Mounted how I wonder? One could always remember that if one can't do it, or fix it, with gaffa' tape, then one hasn't used enough. This blog has filled me with light & hope or rather a line in it has. I truly hope, therefore, that we can provide the local support required for you to continue to do a little blurfing every now and then whilst lost in the new world.

Silly me I'm losing it. My mother bought it for me for Christmas and I tried it underwater and mounted on the handlebars of a bicycle. I thought the kids would be interested in it, but only I was. Now I remember an adjustable strap that came with it. It must fit around the forehead.

Pretty certain it will have a full website by then.

Well actually I contacted the Secretary of the Carpet Museum Trust regarding this blog. Here is their reply...

Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging email. I think we might apply next year when we have achieved our goal!

They are probably right to wait until its built, it seems a sensible approach.
