Don't mention the gerbils...
I’m back! After an immensely enjoyable and highly productive weekend at the lovely nodbear’s. We surprised even ourselves and managed to write our whole presentation for the New Researchers in Maritime History conference from start to finish! All we need to do now is to add the pictures, tidy up some references and we’re done with the presentation, though we still plan to do a lot more work on a more comprehensive write up of George Cadogan's three courts martial. We’ll post a preview of the presentation for you guys sometime before the conference of course :)
As nodbear has already said, we didn’t spend the entire weekend working though. On Sunday esmerelda_t joined us, after getting lost in Nod’s street and we had a very pleasant Sunday lunch on the banks of the Thames followed by coffee and fangirling back at Nod’s house. We may or may not have laughed ourselves silly at excerpts of dire porn on weepingcock. Honestly I will never be able to look at a pair of gerbils the same way again….
Other highlights of the weekend included Laurent Perrier, lamb biryani, Ned's menagerie, Susan's forbearance, amontillado, claret and squeeing over Jamie Bamber's nose and other extremities. Quote of the weekend has to go to Nod:
"He does have a way of holding a microphone."
So here, for your enjoyment, is Jamie demonstrating his way with a microphone...
