The Roald Dahl museum

Further to my previous post about the Dickens world museum, I just discovered another museum related to books and well known authors - The Roald Dahl Museum, situated in Buckinghamshire, UK.

I was browsing through the website, and found some interesting facts about Roald Dahl. There is also the facility to download early drafts of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Since I love books and reading, If I was living in the UK, I would surely find places related to my hobby which I could visit!

The Dickens World

A new museum about a famous author - the Dickens World, has recently opened in Chatham, Kent.

Dickens World is a brand new, innovative and exciting indoor visitor complex themed around the life, books and times of one of Britain’s best loved authors, Charles Dickens. It will take visitors on a fascinating journey through Dickens’ lifetime as they step back into Dickensian England and are immersed in the urban streets, sounds and smells of the 19th century.

With a host of captivating attractions, Dickens World features one of Europe’s largest dark boat rides, the Haunted house of Ebenezer Scrooge, a state-of-the art animatronic show, Victorian School Room, 4D high definition show and Fagin’s Den.

Offering a unique showcase for one of the world’s best loved storytellers, Dickens World will truly offer visitors the ‘day out of a lifetime’.

Dickens World is based on a credible and factual account of Charles Dickens works and the world in which he lived. Working with The Dickens Fellowship great attention has been paid to the authenticity of the time, characters and story lines. It offers a new and entertaining way to enjoy Dickens and his characters as well as gaining an understanding of the times and conditions people experienced living in England in the early 19th century.

Last week I was doing some research at work and came across this website which I thought was worth sharing since I found a lot of interesting articles related to what I was searching for. Might find it useful in the future when doing research about something else.

Gadgets - e-cube fridge energy saver

This week, whilst reading a newspaper, I came across this interesting energy saving gadget, which I never heard about. Basically what it does is that once fitted in the fridge/freezer, it reduces the amount of energy used by fridges and freezers.

I searched the internet and read a couple of articles related to it, such as this.

Reading

This week I finally started reading again. I had neglected reading for the past month or so, partly because of exams and partly because after I finished exams I was busy with work. However, this week I decided to start reading Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer. I had read this book around 3 years ago and I must admit that along with The Prodigal Daughter by the same author, it is one of the books which I don't mind reading again after some time. I find that this happens to me sometimes - I like to read the same books again after a couple of years. So after I finish Kane and Abel, I might read The Prodigal Daughter again and after that it will be time for a visit to the local library to get some books which I haven't read yet.
