It was bucketing down on Tuesday night when I was on the train home. I had left early, after finishing a seminar in the city (Spring St). It was a quick hop onto Parliament Station and I was in Blackburn before 5.30!
Which was great as I did a bit of cooking and had a great home cooked meal when Tress came back and did her usual steamed fish. We got a text from Jason saying he and Mel were catching up with TT Quah and Maudrene and asked if we could join them. We didn’t really want to, with the wet and cold night on, but we went anyway as I had wanted to pass TT Quah something before he left for Asia again.
We caught up at Shine in Glen Waverley. While chatting over coffee and wine, Mel brought out some cookies Sam had made at home. We were rudely told this wasn’t allowed, so we put it away. That manager/owner could have easily been more graceful. I think I’d stop going to Shine for a while.
We got home just before 11pm.
On Wednesday night there was another thing on – a fund raising by a mission organisation which focus on North India. It was a great night but it is way out of my league. I am certainly not the sort of partner Empart was seeking. Again I got home late – just after 10.30 and I was just washed up.
A 4.30am start does not work well with an 11pm finish. Especially if it is an 11pm finish which creates a lot of thoughts. I ended up going to bed close to 12 and the sub-5 hour sleeps don’t work well for me. Although 7 would be better I can heck 6. Sub 5 is a real no- no as I get a bit flighty…not good…
But, I am enjoying the different focus, to be doing something with more lasting values. If only I get to do it on a more committed/full time basis…
