Servants is a busy place to be around. The following is a snapshot of my day – imagine how this would look if Amanda, the Hislops, the Halls, Martin, The Donohoes Jnr, Nicole, Warren and the committee and the cooking staff added their account of the day as well!

My day started early, early at Bar Ristretto as Andy, the boss there, and I continue to plan the Ristretto Narrative launch. I worked with Martin at Hamer as we had the workout to end all workouts as we took delivery and stored away 10,000 copies of Narrative. A quick catch up with Editor Zoe saw us receive a donation for Servants from a lady, who seeing our excitement at book asked to have a look and was amazed at the quality of the book. I had a meeting at Scotch with my main contact there, Ophelia, to start talking about a possible adventure or two for next year. An email from a supporter informed me that her business had been collecting for SCH throughout the year and that they were about to send us an $800 cheque. I had a surprise phone call from a respected social worker, who I did not know was a believer, who wanted to pray for me over the phone – and did. I had a less than welcome call from the Tenants Unions (all calls from these guys are less than welcome – my disdain for the TU remains super high, despite not having dealt with them for many years – mostly as a result of their representing errant characters in the past and costing us heaps of money, time an energy) but I will have to wait until tomorrow to get the low-down on what they are wanting to discuss. A productive House Meeting at Romana rounded out the day.
