Dinner out and spreadsheets

December 2, 2011   

Thursdays weather continued into Friday with 55 knots + in the Cove and yet another cruise ship finding life a little difficult for landing.

Can you tell how excited I am about the proposition of my morning run?!


I spent another day in front of the computer doing spreadsheets for my annual report. I made the mistake of asking my boss if the way that it had been presented before was how he wanted it done again. Apparently he was having to re do the numbers so we decided on a spreadsheet that would mean he wouldn’t have to re do them this year. This meant that I had to scrap the work I had done and start again – rookie mistake 🙂

I was lucky enough to get one of the spots to go aboard the old Prince Albert II for dinner which was very tasty. I was on a table with two interesting couples and the ships Dr. One couple from Brisbane Australia and the other couple from Boulder Colorado. The Dr is a fine arts studen studying in New York as well as a cruise ship Dr and was from Turkey. The meal was a delicious 5 course meal with many choices for each course. Unfortunately we were leaving at 10pm and with two minutes to go I had just ordered a chocolate cake with ice cream for dessert and had to leave it 🙁 However, the expedition leader came running after me with a plate of delicious fruit which everyone helped me gobble down as we donned our boatsuits and headed for the zodiac.

  1. Fresh fruit; I remember smuggling a load off our ship for delivery to the guys at Port Lockroy, everyone at our table hid a load & then I took it ashore!
    I guess “freshies” is the thing you most miss?
