29th August 2023 Tuesday - spending time talking to people

Started the day early - at 615 a.m. I was in the office. I felt fine, I think that my body clock is still on Australia time. I sorted out some things for the website - Jenny has done a good job. Today's highlight? I sent the BSC link to the work group and HL posted it on FB immediately. 

I had planned to speak to the people in the office about work, etc - which I did but not all of them. Sorted out the RiverHouse with Syahidah; she is doing well, quietly dedicated and efficient. Spoke to Joanne as well, she is a steady pair of hands; working independently on the Toorak house and the School.

A fellow architect dropped by the office one Saturday morning. Another senior practitioner, another one who has made a more than comfortable living from his trade. One who has stopped drawing perhaps, for he expressed surprise when he saw our drawing boards - 'wah, still draugthing ah?, who?, you ah?'

Actually, not all these are drawn at the draughting board. Some were drawn at home, on the coffee table in front of the telly. Others are details and ideas drawn on CAD printouts. I feel better after having made my mark on it. It is my way of assuring myself that I have vetted the drawing, it is ready to go. It is also a way of personalising computer generated drawings. The hand drawn lines say to the viewer - it's OK, someone put thought to my design.
