6.8.2026 Wednesday - symmetry
There is an email from a young student looking to train with us for a year, her family name and address reminds me of a former house mate in Geelong, also an architect. So I ask him. She is his second daughter. I ring him and we chat about his expectations, her intentions and logistics. She will stay with relatives, if everything works out. I tell him that the young people in our office are good at guiding and nurturing young graduates.
5.8.2026 Tuesday - going forward
Looking forward to this morning's meeting, we have new information and ideas to share with the client; way forward in an exciting new project. The engineers have been proactive as well; following up with site planning and we conclude in good spirits.
The afternoon meeting is more dreary, reminding the builder about his responsibilities and so forth, but the journey is enjoyable as I have not had a chance to chat with GW for quite a while.
A good workout and swim to end the day, Sean joins me at the gym and we head home to dinner with my mom. I give my mom my beer nuts, she enjoys them but cannot name them. She's happy today. I think it's because she is having dinner with us - Sean fetches her a drink to wash down the peanuts which she cannot name. She is from a wealthy family, used to the good things in life; home cooked meals, servants, treats and snacks - maybe she's happy to relive those days.
4.8.2026 Monday - plans for a quick trip
A client referred us to a potential client, I wait until Monday 8 a.m. to text this person who replied promptly. I offer to meet and have a chat about the possibilities of working together - so it looks like we are going to KL. Some contracts matters are overdue, we resolve it online with the QS - I have reason to be upset with the oversight but decided that it is just Life reminding me to stay on top of things. And besides, the parties involved are dealing with it in good spirits and in a productive way - so all is good.
