I had lunch with Michael Short form The Age today. One of the lovely things on a personal level tat has occurred for me since my ‘The Zone’ article in The Age in 2011 has been the development of the friendship between Michael and me. Following lunch with he put me in touch, via an email, with a major Melbourne based philanthropist. I now have to decide how to progress a conversation with this gentleman. Answers on a postcard please!!

Ticket booking for the launch currently sit at 161. We are going to be hosting quite an event folks! I met with Connie this arvo and we continued to plot and plan the launch event – it really is stating to take great shape.

I sent time this morning at Queen Vic ordering various foodstuffs for the launch – the vendors were more than generous in their pricing.

Tomorrow I am speaking at a day long rooming house forum in Dandenong, which is being run by our friend Andre Van Emryn, and running some kind of session there  in the afternoon.
