16.6.2026 Tuesday - some projects are for training

These are some sketches from our conversation about a housing project, with Fiona and GW - I said I know how to detail the stairs so now I'm recording it on sketches before I forget. These are also useful for someone to take on to produce CAD drawings and model in 3D. We have many people on this small housing project, too many for the fees earned. However, I see it as a way to learn to work with other people; it trains your temperament and your management skills. It also hones your own skills while learning from others more experienced and finally, these projects are good for training our young team members. 
 

15.6.2026 Monday - so it seems that Wednesday is a public holiday

 I should relax and not worry about internal deadlines - once I have assigned the work let them decide when and how to deliver. 

14.6.2026 Sunday - Tris and Tiff

 

13.6.2026 Saturday - Astrid and Ariel

 

12.6.2026 Friday - Victor

newbie passes the test

 

11.6.2026 Thursday - good outcomes

 I wrap up Juney's bread that Sam made for her, in a nice cloth Japanese-style because Jowie is coming to get it. I ask for a lift to the office and she obliges, we have become close friends over a short time. Even Yoshi is becoming more animated and talkative during our dinner outings. 

This morning, I sit out the housing meeting, and leave PH and Freddie to cut costs with the consultants. Over lunch they tell me things are coming to a focus but more work is needed, Freddie volunteers to go to next week's meeting if it takes place.

In the afternoon, we have a good discussion on how to proceed with the hotel project - it seems easier than what I expected. There are no real ego problems, just keen to get the project moving, Leong is a good fit for this project, and he seems to like the design architect.

10.6.2026 Wednesday - air-well not courtyard

 Some of my worries about this project is cleared today, Sean draws up an nice pictogram for the findings, it will be very useful for tomorrow's meeting with the client and the design architect.
