I just received an email that said you have won an international lottery of 2 million euros. Please contact our fiducial agent to claim your lump sum payout. Hilarious. Scam or no scam, it was very entertaining. Must check the Czech lottery system (.cz address) they haven't asked for a bank account yet, but no doubt that will come.
All email money aside, have had a very exciting and serendipitous two days. Trip to record the bridge yesterday afternoon was fantastic, a very high wind, lots of creaking and lovely sounds. Lisa and I leaning into the wind, logging trucks all tooted as they went past. A guy came up to talk to us, he turned out to be in charge of maintenance contractors and was happy to chat for a while. Some very cool stories about the bridge but you will have to wait for my program to hear them!! Gotta leave some mystery.
Then today went on the Tamar River cruise along to the bridge, lots of interesting local history, very nice wine and cheeses, and a lovely group of fellow travellers. Just met up with Daniela (friend of crick and nigel from melb, now living in launceston) and we had a great conversation about life, money, art, living bravely, having kids, publishing...... very exciting and fruitful for the next stage of my module planning.
Must go now and ascertain wether I really have just won 2 million euro. It would be very funny if true, but I maintain a healthy scepticism.
