what a day!
after wandering around the hotel and feeling a little directionless, the meetings started to happen. first a housekeeping meeting, to remind us to be discreet and enthusiastic in equal measures. then the plenary, where the insides of the organisation started to be displayed.
a couple of us escaped the hotel for a 5 minute walk around the 6000 people town. at least it was a walk in freedom, outside the luxury prison walls!
then the question time panel. this was cool, with interesting people discussing interesting issues. even if it all felt a bit introspective...
flames were lit, photographs were taken. dinner was served. the rumor is that in order to protect the weaker tummies, the chef had been ordered to provide the blandest food he could provide: he took his brief seriously, and dinner was an even less tasty affair than lunch had been. let's hope the rumor is just a rumor, and the chef was just having an off day....!
just finished the first meeting for my group, and fear has seeped right into my bones. it's going to be a loooong week.
we wait to find out what is stranger than meetings. with no doubt that it shall be discovered. but if things keep becoming incrementally stranger, where will it all end? With worm at bottom of bottle?
