    One of my gigs fell through as the client was interviewing cheaper candidates first. <strikes from list>

    Still got an interview for next Tuesday so 1 iron in the fire at least.

    Painted the feature wall in the kitchen.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        A step closer to being boomed. The Prog Mgr called me a while ago to discuss the challenges and the vendors I shall be working with.

        Location confirmed as shuttling between Milan and Madrid alternative weeks (Tuesday - Thursday) and WFH for rest of the time. Rate agreed - what I used to charge them a couple of years ago. Did not want to sound greedy due to the fact that I can WFH when I want to and all Flight/Hotel bookings including expenses fully paid.

        Boomed thread to follow after a successful contract review and signing. Not too bothered about agency as I have a choice of three agencies to choose from. Worked with all three of them in the past.

        Heading off to Cap D'agde on Saturday for 10 days of "fun" followed by a week at home before the gig.

              Hauled ass back to Europe today, feeling a bit cold, not sure how long I will stick it.

              I am either off the bench soon or it's back to the beach.

                Rollered the remaining kitchen walls in Wheatgrass. Left SY02 cutting in while I went running around looking for a TRV lock off cap.

                They are like rocking horse poo. I had to buy a whole new TRV from Gibbs and Dandy in the end.

                Took rad off.

                Painted wall where rad was.

                Painted kitchen door (undercoat only).

                Sat listening too music.

                Painted kitchen door again.

                Washed all the rollers and brushes.

                Living the dream.
