Life is fickle ....

Well life is slightly fickle ....

I had a short interview on Saturday (7th October) with Richard at Off Beat Clothing and it went very well - with talk about seeing you Monday to start work as a website operator. He had said that he would then discuss this with his brother and call me on Sunday.
I didn't receive a call but naturally assumed it was just an omission so went to work for them this morning only to get a very cold shoulder along the lines of who are you!!.
They had received many more applications after mine and as such they naturally want to review them all and call me later - perhaps.
Such is life.
Clearly my celebrations during the weekend were a little early.

Yesterday - Sunday - 8th October Ping and I went to Richards and I helped with the balustrading - design of the attachment of the hand rail to the top half newel post is rubbish - so we basically did the work twice - but it looks good so far. Richard still has on order all the spindles and I expect that the fitting of all of these wont take that long at all.
After the balustrading Ping prepared dinner - Prawns in Tom Yum soup - yummy, followed by chicken and noodles which was also excellent with the addition of some Chilli sauce. Sweet - prepared by Richard was banana, ice cream and Chocolate sauce - allays a winner.

Saturday evening Ping and I went to Susan and Allan`s and had a carry out curry and a few beers / wine - which was excellent as well.
