And so to Work ...

I was the scribe today .. very hard going
Hi again,

Sorry that today's blog is a bit late. I had a hard day's work today, and I was exhausted. We were all together today in double down (strange name for a room, but then this New York ).

I was the scribe today. I had to make all the notes and draw on the whiteboard. I was kept very busy - well you know what Kate and John and Mark are like when they get going .. tons to write up. I thought they'd never finish.

I met Ajanta today and Candace.

Poor Ajanta landed from a very long flight from Gurgaon and came straight to the office .. very brave. She was wide awake ! more alert than I was today.

When we finished, we all went to the kitchen to watch the football (Yes - I know, strange place to be watching football .. but this is New York !).


Did you ever see such a one sided boring match ! I couldn't believe it.. 5 - Nil after half an hour.

Quite a few people left and went back to work. but I decided to stick it out and watch till the end ..
 We went back to doubledown and finished off our meetings. I had to clean off the whiteboard and write up a few more sessions .. it's hard work !

After we finished, we all went to a really nice restaurant for dinner. I was starving. We were sitting in a great little snug. It was like being in the wine cellar .. loads of bottles. Nobody paid any attention to me as I checked out all the bottles. I had a great time !

Mark's dinner looked nice. I had some of that.


Everyone really enjoyed their meals. We chatted about the day's work and the football ! And what we're going to do tomorrow.

Then it was time for dessert. There were a few extras, so I got one to myself. It was gorgeous ..


It was getting hard to keep my eyes open ! so we headed off home. I went in a yellow cab with Ajanta.

Another great day in the Big Apple .  I'm off to bed now.


Will write again tomorrow,

Love,

Barney xx.
