Barefoot fun
Aug. 29th, 2011 09:14 pmThis morning a prospective housemate came by and when I led her out into the backyard she closed the door behind her and we were locked out. She felt bad but the whole episode was no problem. We had a good chat and she seems like she would be a good fit for Chez Canuck. She plays the harp for a living which is certainly interesting, though she would be giving lessons in the front room and practicing for a couple of hours every night. Roxy seems fine with that, but Esky sounded a bit more reluctant. We will try to get her back on Thursday so she can meet the others and possibly put any concerns to rest. In the meantime we are getting plenty of other inquiries of varying quality.
After the house tour (during which she didn't get to see the lounge room and the kitchen except through the windows) and a chat she rode her bike alongside me as I walked barefoot to Dickson to pick up a key from the real estate agent. Going places barefoot is something I had never seen much before I came to Australia. I spend a lot of time barefoot in Collaroy where the beach makes it more common and acceptable. Here I wondered if I looked like one of the public housing tenants that frequent the Dickson shops.
TW: Pushups. Lots and lots of pushups. To be specific, 1,000 pushups for time. My time? 25:23.
The market was up today. CCV is in a trading halt while we wait for news, ALK seems to be turning around and is developing a lot of positive buzz, ERA has been steadily rising from recent lows, and best of all, BOW is now trading above the recent takeover offer, which means the buyer will have to come up with a higher offer (and indicates that a lot of people think another offer is out there.) I was happy that a profit was on the cards even with a lowball offer, but now it looks like more is on the cards. This week, I suspect I will be watching the market less intensely.
