Food, sleep, and what else is happening here
Yesterday's dinner buffet:
- three different kinds of pasta
- a very good tomato sauce with vegan minced-meat substitute (seitan)
- a green sauce I didn't try
- chickpea and eggplant salad
- tomato salad with croutons
- carrot and eggplant salad
- olives
- some other salads and stuff I forgot
I think there was also soup and bread and vegetarian spreads left over from the afternoon buffet ("Afternoon buffet", you ask? Well... we're basically like hobbits here, eating all through the day. ;-) Except for the unfortunate ones who are out in the city doing their assigned tasks...) Anyway, yesterday the evening buffet was a bit crowded because there were some 300 peope around, so I didn't check out everything. There were a couple of speeches and presentations and so on after dinner, hence the crowd.
Later on there were homemade sweets and cookies, or at least I think they were made in our kitchen here. They looked too irregular for commercial ones. They were great, too.
In other news, my "6 a.m. to 2 p.m." sleeping rhythm doesn't mix very well with a work schedule that requires me to get up at 7 a.m., so today, after two nights of very little sleep, I'm knackered. I think I'll go to bed early tonight. Like, *really* early. Possibly right after dinner. Unfortunately there's a tv crew with us at the moment who are going to be filming here all night for a "a day and a night with Greenpeace" kind of thing, so there's a chance I'll be exposed to the world as a wimp who goes to bed at 8 p.m. at the biggest environmental event in recent history... but I think I'll survive. *g* Or at least, I have a good chance of surviving if I actually manage to get some sleep tonight...
This is the fourth tv crew that has filmed here since I arrived, btw. For some reason, most of them were French. I was told that the French in general aren't very fond of us; maybe this is some strange "know your enemy" thing? ;-)
BTW, if you're curious about what is actually going on outside our warehouse, here in Copenhagen, the Guardian blog is a pretty good source for the latest info:
