8-Jul-2013 A Busy Monday
Today was a busy day for sure. I had a new guy start in my team today (doesn’t happen every day) and I was based in Kogarah. Although I work there a lot (one day a week or so) it’s not my normal location so feel like a fish out of water. Then i had to go to the Dentist as it’s been more than 6 months since I last went. In fact I will try to go even more regularly as its less painful I think (and want to keep what teeth I do have!). Amazingly I don’t need any extra work and that is probably the first time since I was about 7 years old that’s happened!!
After work I dashed to the Bundeena Book club (7pm-8pm). There were only 6 of us there – maybe reduced numbers due to school holidays, being mid-winter and bad weather and/or an awful book to read! The book club is run by the library but I have become the “reader representative” and have taken to emailing the others etc. Anyway the book we discussed tonight was quite a short one “Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen” which I read in a few days. It was pretty much panned by everyone, savaged might be a better word! Very fluffy and shallow with no substance. Not much more to be said really, although we did then spend quite a while discussing other books. They are quite a smart bunch of people all different ages & sexes but with an overriding love of books.
