First of all, sorry for the latest of this blog.
I’ve actually had to do some work – it’s certainly shocked me I can tell you!
First criticisms today, (apart from you lot, please carry on - all constructive) on a positive note – it can only get better – and I mean that most sincerely folks! *music please*.
Aristotle has a lot to answer for. I’m sure that’s bad English but give me time...please.
Luckily, Falmouth is still delightful and we had the Oyster Festival to enjoy this weekend. On Friday afternoon (no lectures on Friday, I hasten to add) I bought smelly cheese, lavender fudge (okay – it could be vile but I had to try it - will report back) and I tried Vintage Reserve Cider (matured in whiskey barrels) and lots more besides.
I enjoyed it so much that on Friday night I spent some time trying to get into the wrong block of flats, once realised, the conversation went something like this (screenwriting practice too you see?!):
Me [to my neighbour on mobile] Chris, Chris, my key’s not working can you come out and help?
Chris: Of course, be out in a sec.
Me: Great thanks, you’re a star.
Chris: I’m outside, where are you?
Me: Yeah?
Chris: But where?
Me: Oh...Block D?
Chris: You live in Block E [laughter]
Me: Oh yeah [sniggers, hic]
Saturday continued with friends from London and friend from course SJ – lots of champagne (Cornish, natch) and oysters (ditto, natch), sea shanties, etc and laughter. Ending with a climb up to the Jacob’s Ladder pub – so called because of the ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ of steps. SJ ‘poo-pooed’ the climb, although was heard to say to a descendee ‘would I be stopping if I was on the way down?’ A good point, well made wouldn’t you say? Although that could have had something to do with champagne.
Sunday lunch was at The Falmouth Townhouse which was lovely. Food divine: Slow Roast Pork Belly and Roast Beef with all the trimmings. Service impeccable, so much so that the chef gave us - unasked for - olives, bread and vodka, infused with chilli, vanilla and horseradish – with oysters – yum. Kathryn asked me if I had chewing gum (negative) – and yeay, suddenly it appeared. Suffice to say my doggy bag is still half full and to be ditched, purely because, for a change, I am not piggy enough.
I have to admit Sunday evening was a little flat – so much fun and then back to work – but I do love the work – never thought I’d say that!
Sorry this is short and hopefully sweet, but I wanted to make contact sooner rather than later, friends have pointed out that I have to changed the setting on my blog to enable you all to make comments if you wish – will try tomorrow. I have missed out far more than I intended which will appear in a later blog.
Sleep well.
PS still miss you all x
