Had wonderful and peaceful afternoon with J and DuoDuo by Bitan. So happy to be out of the city and actually see some trees. We didn't do much, just sat at a cafe and chatted casually, J reading, me working and DuoDuo attracting too much attention. Must take mini excursions more often.

Checked out A's new house and what a milestone. All it's missing is a hostess (doubles as maid), then again that's the most difficult part of completing a home. I wonder how many men with fully furnished beautiful houses are out there, waiting for the right one to turn up. Definitely not going to find anyone sitting in front of the Bravia all day like A plans to do. TV shopping? And all the girls are out there dressed up sitting in cafes, bars, restaurants waiting for their prince charmings. What utterly depressing images. Dah.

Mom says I should consider becoming a Buddhist nun as I may "have the potential for it." Dad is becoming a bird walker by profession and best friends with ex-mafia. We have 3 on-call psychics. Family is wacked. Explains very well why I am this freakish way. Feel very Dharma-like all of a sudden. Where is my Greg?
