Veleno

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellow,

Today was a lot of fun. Briar gave her puffle presentation (see yesterday) and it went down really well. 

I was happy for her. She is still building her confidence and she was so good. It seemed like a huge boost for her. 

We decided to go for lunch to a place recommended by Project Manager Laura. A small salad bar that does THEEEEE BEST mac and cheese I have ever eaten. Corrie came along too as did another BA I've always enjoyed chatting to named Olivia.

Olivia is fun. I'm sorry I never got the chance to work with her. 

In the afternoon I met up with my Team Lead who expressed regret but said it was unlikely he'd be able to find anything for me to do that could keep me around past December, though he'd keep trying. And then - just because we were in that frame of mind - Corrie and me decided to go for a cheeky sherbert after work. 

We planned my leaving party in November and tried the drink you see in today's blip. "Veleno" (meaning "poison" in Italian apparently) is some sort of lemon/honey/vodka concoction. 

It was too nice. Corrie and I drank three each and then exchanged hugs before catching our respective trains home. 

And then when I got to Paraparaumu, I found Caro in her car waiting for me. To echo my sentiments of yesterday, I really do have the best of both worlds at the moment. 

It may not last past December, but I'm savouring it all at the moment, every last drop of Veleno, while it lasts.
