Progress

So the townhouse was ok, but really, there is no way i would put all my hard earned savings into that place... it wasn't the quality of the townhouse that was the problem, but rather the dodgy neighbours and the fact that there were 79 adjacent townhouses .... that's right, 79!!!! ...so 80 in the complex. May as well be a high density block of cement flats filled with derelicts, druggies, etc... When i walked around the block, there were all sorts of tattoo-covered creepy men roaming around, some pottering in the miniture couryards out the front smoking. I felt very uneasy just walking up the driveway, i can't imagine living around these guys. They would have to pay me to live there, and even then, i am not sure i would want to take up the offer. So, the house hunting continues.

We had a lunch meeting with the three Commissioners on Monday, which was tense and uncomfortable for me... and the worst part was that i had to eat lunch with them. I just don't know what on earth i am meant to say to these men in regard to social chit chat. I guess it is probably better just to say as little as possible, only speak when spoken to! On Tuesday, my boss told me off for greeting the Chief Justice with a "Hiya". I am apparently meant to greet him with "Good afternoon your honor, how are you?". How crazy. Well at least i didn't say "hey dude, how's it going?".

My sister's operation went really well. She had all the cancer taken out and the follow-up scans have shown no sign of any remaining abnormalities. She's recently found a new bf ... i have totally lost count now on how many she has had. I don't even know where she finds all these guys. One leaves and another seems to drop into her arms within a week.

My exercise routine is going well. However, i have started to note some growth in the old frame - my back seems to be widening longways, so i have split a few work jackets. Very strange and mysterious.

Over and out.
