Since the decision is made,
Yep, I was up early and decided to send a well drafted email, short and to the point, withdrawing my job application. I needed to get this over with and continue the search for another opportunity. It helped to receive a reply from one of the partners shortly after, expressing their disappointment and regret but also accepting the fact that it is not meant to be. Now I can get on with things. The search is on again, ugh.
I asked my friend Clint to come over for a well needed catchup and pulled him into helping with a project of mine today too. It feels like we haven’t had time to do a proper catchup ever since South Africa back in October / November 2024. I was away, then I had guests, when I went for a walk, when he was away and then returned with a bug… So yes, a well needed conversation while having a beverage and doing a little work.
I collected the wood I ordered late yesterday just before closing time and Clint helped me put it all together today. It wasn’t hard work, just fiddly and awkward getting everything sort of straight and level and in place. The bench is looking great… I still need to oil the wood, but the difficult bit is done. So proud.
