*moment of squee*

I met David Attenborough again, and Richard Fortey! Since I had met Attenborough before I bought Fortey's book instead and had him sign it. I had to- I work in Dry Store Room 1 now.

This was after a talk at the Royal Geographical Society on Zoological Nomenclature. I got a bit misty eyed at the end when Sir Attenborough said "If you lose your wonder for nature as you grow up, you have lost a wonderful thing."

So when I had my book signed, I walked up to Sir Attenborough and said "I've met you before, but unfortunately I could only afford one book this time. I just wanted to say you are a great inspiration to me. Thank you."

At the risk of sounding like an utter fangirl- he touched my arm and said thank you back! Squee!

colonel_maxim is now saying I am an Attenborough groupie. Yeah...without shame. ^^
