PH did one and I prepared a second Option.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Both were quite received, although that the client slightly preferred mine, for its simplicity in planning (and perhaps the symmetry as well). We promised to revert after tidying up some loose ends.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today I arrive at work early, looking forward to draw up the site layout. Fiona had suggested swapping the condo and terrace units location on site. The landed housing fronts the road/street, to continue the the streetscape which is occupied by some recently completed semi detached houses. The condominiums are located along the river, where it is safer from creatures crawling on to the site from the river. The ground floor of the condo is mostly for car parking.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This morning, I realise soon after I arrive that I do not have the time to sketch the revised site layouts and update the 3D as well. So I ring George who agrees to help, he does the 3D and I the layout plans. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We complete our joint effort at 430 p.m. when I cycle to the club, and he sends it to the client. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They are older than mom, who is coming undone. Her memory fails her more and more these days; she fails to describe taste (ginger, coffee or tea) , recognise simple objects (apples, papaya) and her sequence of doing simple tasks like dressing herself is off.</p><p>There will come a time when I'll have to speak to my siblings about putting her in a home. I forget how long we have been babysitting her on our weekend afternoons.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghzOm2GGIvZPZxe26eW1QNuSpDVOBYFBw-h5TlJAgmNbdDmTs14Nrw4cfLbxS3sQDGwpgQ9PioXPJJEUfXJObOoloffmwKCSVju0jcBw-ki9EF7Da2iNzQShR368HPcDvBQvO0JITwclh5FZ26GYAvJbiLEpKJfUz4BoVr1dpk9YwKstjbIi0xinnJFi1Y/s1582/Plan_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I have been feeling out of sorts lately. I have been falling asleep in the afternoons eventing I get my 7 hours of sleep at night. Maybe it's the daily hour of squash 5 times a week. Maybe it's my body telling me that variety is important. <p></p><p>This morning, I run into town: the same route as before. It felt good, the cadence is still there but I must train the running endurance. I'm running in spells this morning, 600 to 800 metres stretches. </p><p>I decide that Saturdays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are running days.
