Symmetry

It started with an early morning alarm, dressing carefully and well, then taking three legs of travel (car, plane and taxi) to Milton, to the little white office in the L-bend of the street, to meet about future work. We talked and laughed and all had a nice time. It was very friendly. After the interview I went up the road to Maisie Smith's Bookshop, I met mum and we drove around West End, scoping out possible places to live.

Just over 12 months later it wound up in the same way. The day started with an early morning alarm, dressing carefully and well, then taking three legs of travel (car, ferry and foot) to Milton, to the little white office in the L-bend of the street, to meet about the past, and about a possible future. We took the meeting in a Cafe and talked and ate cakes and all had a nice time. It was very friendly. After the meeting/farewell I went up the road to Maisie Smith's Bookshop, then met mum and we drove around West End as tourists scoping out a scenic part of the riverside. They were both sunny, early autumn days and my mood was optimistic, cheerful.

And so that chapter is neatly concluded in a symmetrical, full circle, happy kind of way.
