Traded in the Draft

Well the end of a very long week is in sight. Longest day was tuesday at about 14 hours. I presented my project in a meeting today and it went very well so I can finally relax a bit. However, things took an interesting turn this morning (I'm not sure if it is a good tur or a bad turn yet). If I was some sort of sports star (stop sniggering everyone) then this morning I got traded. We have a new CFO and I've been promised to him to help him settle in and get his projects happening. Unfortunately I don't get 14 million pounds for the season.

Also received a book on herbs from mum. Ben and I were having a bit of a butcher's at it this arvo over a coffee and noted with delight that it has all sorts of information on companion planting with vegetables. brilliant! Thanks Mum :-)

For those of you who know my Sister Raechelle, she and Ashley are off to Tonga for a holiday tomorrow.

I am reading 1984 at the moment. I'm not sure how I managed to get through school without reading it but I am correcting that mistake now, thanks to Nan who sent it to me for my birthday. A really nice edition too, hardback with a red buckram cover.

The 'planning' for the Goulburn Poultry Fancier's Society Show and Breed Sale is going very well. I have two cars full for the road trip now and a few more giving it 'active consideration'. A friend has dubbed it "chicken run" which seems to be sticking as a moniker. Its funny have no vision when it comes to having fun. Everyone thought I was a bit mad—ok I am a bit mad—a bit weird then, when I suggested the greyhounds, but they all had a ball once they were there. A chook show and a brewery, I mean what else could they want? Some people just don't know how to have fun...

I have convinced Trisha to go to Goulburn. We will take our car and leave the little kids with the biggest one, but we may need to head back earlier (if) there is an emergency.

Can I read the book after you, as it is one of my most favoured movies. I have Animal Farm if you want another of Orwell's stuff.
