Internet aboard the Keanemutiny has been a bit shotty the past few days, so my apologies for the lack of reporting. The past few days have consisted of work, more work, and little bit of fun. Drawings on the English Garden House are progressing and we got to do some investigational demo work I'm happy.
Our group has befriended the local ferryman on the Mount Batten Ferry. We've gotten a decent taste of Plymouth local life as a result.
In other news, lunch yesterday was quite eventful. We regularly eat lunch at the Orangery on the Mount Edgcumbe estate. We were eating outside, enjoying the gorgeous day when an injured seagul crash landed on Helen's apple pie. Yes, you read that correctly. Helen lost out on an awesome piece of apple pie because a seagul dive bombed our table and smashed into her plate of apple pie. Helen seems to think the bird was aiming to swipe the pie, then push off the table with his foot for a quick exit. Unfortunately for the seagul, he had some fishing line stuck on his foot and he didn't quite get the glorious exit for which he had hoped. He ended up on the sprawled out on the ground next to our table with apple smeared on his beak.
Another theory is that he knew he was crashing and thought "oh no, I'm going down, better take this pie with me." Either way, it made for an exciting lunch.
whaaaaaaaaat! That's kinda scary! What did you guys do with the seagull? Did you get the fishing line off him?
