Snap

So I'm on a sewing roll, and I've got a sweet set-up in front of the telly. And there's a fascinating programme on the History Channel about Peruvian cultures. It's all about the history of the burial tombs and the archaeologists' hunt for an undisturbed Peruvian tomb. Unfortunately most tombs have been ransacked by looters over the years, and an undisturbed tomb is rare.

The show follows two archaeologists, one rather old and one around my age, as they search for a complete tomb. They think they've spotted one in the cliffs, and they send the archaeologist up by rope climbing.

It has been ransacked, much to our disappointment. Nothing remains. The archaeologist calls down to the other:

"There's nothing here... except a note from your mom."


And I lost it.
