Passages from Scott's diary
Jan. 26th, 2017 04:53 pmI just read Robert Falcon Scott's diaries of his last Antarctic expedition (the last entries were very haunting, wow. "It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. For God's sake look after our people." *shivers*) and I'd like to share some passages here (reading the book took forever because I kept writing things like "good job, Cherry!!" in the margins LOL)
"The space between my bulkhead and the men's I allotted to five: Bowers, Oates, Atkinson, Meares, and Cherry-Garrard. These five are all special friends..." (awwwww)
"Cherry-Garrard is remarkable because of his eyes. He can only see through glasses and has to wrestle with all sorts of inconveniences in consequence. Yet one could never guess it--for he manages somehow to do more than his share of the work." (In the margin I wrote "Cherry FTW!! <3" I think his vision was worse than mine, and that's saying a lot LOL)
"Cherry-Garrard is cook. He is excellent, and is quickly learning all the tips for looking after himself and his gear." (Aww, I want food cooked by Cherry!!)
( more under here )
Jan. 26th's prompt is "what I'm eating," but I'm not eating anything, so I'm going to do Jan. 5th's prompt instead, "smile"
O HAI
( 12. your silverware drawer )
OMG AT THE CURRENT SONG. Completely appropriate, and I didn't even do that on purpose! Niceee :P
