Reading Museum's prize exhibit is the Silchester Eagle. Silchester, between Reading and Basingstoke, was a major Roman city. In 1866 this wingless Roman Legion Eagle was excavated there. It was the inspiration for Rosemary Sutcliffe's 1954 book "The Eagle of the Ninth", on which the 2011 film "The Eagle" was based. Awesome, even if it does look more like a chicken.
The Senior Common Room at Reading University Whiteknights campus is the remains of the mansion that the campus was the grounds of.
It is a common design feature to emphasise the symmetry of a design by making sure there is an item in the centre; on the line of symmetry. In this case, that's the middle window on the first floor.
The thing is, to suit the internal layout of the building, behind that window is a wall. There's not even any glass, it's just stonework painted black. I don't want to think about how many students have been through this uni and never noticed that.

The first week of 2007 brings with it two books we need to read in order to make the year more sustainable. We plan to plough through Gina Trapani's Lifehacker [ISBN 0470050659] since we're following many of the book's tips already.
Then it's off to absorb "World Changing", a tome edited b y Alex Steffen [ISBN 9780810930957]. If you enjoyed "An Inconvenient Truth" you need to inform your judgment by reading parts of this book.
The Reading Carnival was an awesome success. At least 105 children participated in the games, Lion puppet craft, tattoos, face painting, photos with the Leo the Lion (Taylor) and Clown (Lion Di), balloon twisting, story time and puppet theatre. Bags and bags of popcorn were consumed by kids and adults alike.
