Last weekend I got to travel to Knysna for a work trip – one of the best things about being a journo. I got to fly to George, drive a hire car, stay in top notch accommodation and eat at amazing restaurants. The down side is that I’m run ragged – seeing places and meeting with people. My introverted personality has a bit of a meltdown when it doesn’t get enough time to recharge in between seeing people. I ended the weekend at the Civic Theatre with A-Friend, E-Friend and K-Friend watching Burn The Floor from the third row.
This weekend the company had a stand (or 4) at WODAC at Gallagher. It was 2 rather trying days, bringing back memories of Dharma (who I had to decide to put down about 3 weeks ago). Watching people with their dogs, doing the things we used to do together was harder than I expected.
Today the company organised a team for the 702 Walk the Talk. My main contribution was to collect balloons from Showbiz and deliver them to our gazebo. True to form, Mark’s Park was chaos, but I made it in time. The walk took a little over 2 hours with A-Friend and E-Friend and was a lot more fun than last year when I raced around the course in 1 hour.
Now I face another 5 days of work, work, work and next weekend I plan to do nothing more taxing than enjoying a leisurely breakfast, test driving a few cars (Carlos needs to retire from my service and fairly soon), watching TV and reading.
