A moderately unproductive day. Spent the morning drafting a response to my property manager in England about the (continuing) drama over the vacating tenant who is disputing the bill we presented to her for the filthy state she left the property in. Then into town to the Market where I bought a savoury strudel which should do me for three meals, and a tea cake which is in the freezer for unexpected guests. Then home to cut some wood with the chainsaw (which decided to work today) and then back into town to make some calls. But my mentor (who is in WA) had the appointment for 2 her time, not 2 my time, so sent her a couple of texts and phone messages before deciding to give up (after 40 minutes) and just getting the car into gear as the phone rang as she had finally received my efforts to communicate (her phone was on silent tone...). Made four calls, two of which sound possibles and arranged to call them back at a more convenient time, then home once more. Fed the dog, and now I plan to read until dinner time I think...
