I don't really have too much to blog about, but I heard I have a pretty persistent following, so I didn't want to disappoint :) Haha... No, but really. Thanks for reading, if you have. Please, leave comments! I like hearing who's reading... Also, ask any questions if you have them... that way I have more to write about and know what you guys want to read about. Anyway...
Today has been pretty uneventful (hence the 'not much to blog about...') Went to work today. Another great day. I'm glad I have an internship somewhere I really enjoy with cool people... Not everyone is as lucky.
Day started out like the other two... with a cup of tea. I heard the British love their tea, but I guess I always figured it was like one, MAYBE two cups a day... right? WRONG. Today, I had THREE cups of tea. Three... Thinking this was an absurd amount, I asked three co-workers (?-but not technically... since I'm not even close to their level... I'm just an intern) on average, how many cups of tea they drink in a day. The responses: Anywhere from 7-12... Ridiculous.
Anyway. After my first 'spot of tea' (<----DAD: They all looked at me like I was crazy when I made reference to a 'spot of tea' today... Apparently that won't catch on... but I have high hopes for the Nose-Knows.. I'll let you know how it goes) I joined Stephen on location to photograph a 8ft by 10ft painting at Molborough Gallery. We finished it earlier than we thought, so while we were waiting to be picked up we walked through the basement of the gallery. There were tons of painting and sculptures right in front of me... it was pretty sweet. Stephen was pointing out some of the things he knew the names of the artists for as we went along. Eventually, we stumbled upon some blown glass and he wasn't sure who it was.. I suggested Dale Chihuly, and later found out that it was, in fact Chihuly! SO COOL. Stephen had never heard of him, but we found a book in their library about him so we sat down and looked through it together.
After we made it back to the studio and shot a couple paintings and photographs... I also mounted a couple transparencies (my newfound skill/something no one else wants to do:)) In that time, I also had two more tea breaks...
At five, things were really slowing down so they sent me home... but before I left, they gave me a birthday card signed by all of them :) So nice!
Well, I made quite a post out of 'not much to blog about' but it was a good day. Cotswold and my bday this weekend... pretty pumped. Hope all is well in America!
Cheerio, tally ho! (<---- Also, FAMILY. 'tally ho' and 'pip pip' are NOT phrases commonly used here (Shocking.)... yet. I'm working on it.)
BARRY: I'm planning on going to the block pub for a night cap of a frosty beer in a bit... I'll try to get a pic.

tally ho good mate, nice post. tea is good for you, you should ramp up to 7-12 glasses/day by the end of the summer. my question is, how often do they use the LOO per diem?! i mean really, it's got to be absurdly often.

Good day. I am going to try drinking tea. And, I like the idea of a couple of tea times a day. So, prob a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of chihuly pieces just laying around in a basement? Ship one home. Nana would love it for Christmas. jk :) MOM
ReplyDeleteWell, it sounds like you are having a "smashing" time. I am so pleased that you are enjoying your internship. What did you think of the Arbus exhibit? Your side trips sound wonderful, make sure you break for tea periodically. Wouldn't want you to become parched.
ReplyDeleteIf you see anything that I can incorporate in my classroom...new art ideas...let me know....Arbus not a go for elementary. Happy BDay, in case I miss it!!! Love Amy
Happy 21st Britt! Enjoy a round o' pints with your mates! Love, D.
