It's been a busy few days...busier than I'd have anticipated, and busy in a good way.
I'm still not entirely over my sore throat, but it's been hard to stay home and not move around.
Today I went to Xposure, in Brill Street, and had a nice chat with Alna, who showed me the new premises and her office. It's possible that they'll offer me a position here (it's an advertising agency) in the next few weeks. It's a lovely setup and nice people. I took a lovely picture of Alna in her office but unfortunately it didn't record on my camera's chip at all...pretty disappointed about that.
It's difficult to load pictures as internet connection here is slow, and expensive.
The magazine Heartland is also an interesting proposition. I briefly met the editor today again. The photo shoot tomorrow specifically references the Peak Oil article I wrote. I try to post the pictures once they're available.
Yesterday I went to a comedy with Fransa and had dinner with her family tonight.
I might fo a cycle race tomorrow morning if I wake up feeling good.
On Thursday I have an appointment with Prof Robert Bragg, a world renowned expert on bird flu. I will try to learn exactly where we stand on that issue, and what we ought to know and ought to do based on his expertise.
I feel I have to be very careful talking about the issues I write about...because not everyone is ready to live in the real world, and most people can only stand so much reality. My father for example read the newspaper everyday and has a sharp mind. His response to the books I've provided and the insights I've mentioned is the predictable stereotype: someone will solve the problem, and if the problems come they won't come suddenly, it won't be a crisis, it will happen gradually.
It is quite a lonely road...knowing...or feeling one has a grasp of valuable insights that one's friends and family either refuse to accept or won't trouble themselves to think about.
