I've been crazy busy with a research meeting today and yesterday. It would be being a bit harsh to say it has been deathly boring, but it's been hard going. The talks have all been interesting but it's really difficult to sustain interest and concentration for 2 days solid when none of it is that relevant to me.
But last night made it TOTALLY worth it - I went to a big meeting dinner on the SS Great BritainSS! I swear my life isn't normally this exciting.
The ship, Brunel's luxury ocean-going liner built in 1843, has been restored and is now kept in museum-like conditions in a dry-dock in Bristol. Although it's in a dry dock they've built a beautiful glass floor at water level which is covered with two inches of gently rippling water and lit from underneath. It looked absolutely glorious when we turned up last night for the champagne reception. We had full reign of the ship and once everyone had a glass of fizz the purser took us all on a big tour. Then we had dinner (caramelised onion tart, lamb shank, apple upside-down cake) in the 'first-class dining saloon'!!! It was brilliant.
In other news, I got me a new phone. Very quick work on the part of the insurance people. I have lost all my numbers though. I've still got the same number so please text me if I used to have your number!!! I have a bare address book and it makes me sad.

That was quick phone return, must be a relief.
That ship looks fabulous!! Right up my alley with heritage museums, funny I just finished a grad app explaining my dedication to 'working museums.' Yum to caramelized onions :)
My life is looking pretty boring in comparison...lol...excitment of the week so far, finishing school and gointg to the movies. Yay me ;P
I really feel it's important to emphasise my life is not normally like this. Maybe this is what happens when you decide to try and blog everyday - cool things start to happen!
Oh wow! I would love to see that ship, it sounds amazing! The dinner sounds fabulous too *Drooling* :)
Wow - that sounds like a super-cool experience! I'm a little envious!
Oh, it's long overdue, but I've added you to my blogroll, sweetheart.
And finally, couldn't the people where you bought your new phone transfer your phone and addressbook data from the old SIM card to the new one? If you can go back there with both phones, you may still be able to have that data transferred.
What a whirlwind week of excitement you've had, all topped off by a shiny new phone. I remember going to the SS Great Britain when aged about 4 - don't think they had the pretty glass-and-ripply-water-floor back then though... x
Your other half already beat me to reading this post too and told me about your adventure on a big ship and spookily enough, I pictures the glass / water panels as looking just like that. *dogga whistles the twighlight zone* X
I STILL ALIVE! I feel like I haven't spoken to you for days. Well, fret no, your sister is still of this earth and today she has become .... a paediatric doctor! Yes today I have changed jobs, isn't that mighty exciting. Hope you are well, I will text u later so you know my phone number you big loser with no friends
It was pretty good Mel, and all the history was really pretty fascinating. And yes the dinner was GOOD. For a change I ate more than was good for me :)
Aw thanks PF deary!! Very honoured :)
Anna they've even won some museum award or something. It's all very impressive, they've even got a seasick smell in one of the rooms :P
That is spooky Dogga - but more than that I can't believe he actually listens to me! I'm amazed! See secretly he is interested my inane jibber.
Hello Gem Gem!!! Congrats on the new job - hope you have fun with the sickly little children. No-one except mum has texted me so far. I am a big big loser.
Maybe if I blog more frequently my life will get more interesting haha ;).
You always have the best meals when you dine out! This time on a ship? Glorious.
That is amazing, I have to go back there now.
They didn't have the glass floor when I last visited, and we walked around the floor of the dry dock around the hull and could fiddle with the propellors that were about 5 times my height.
