It was my last trip to Wollongong this week as the project is now finished and I got to enjoy once more some very nice Australian breakfasts and flat white coffees. I will miss them and the beach front restaurant that we went to.
As always I stayed at the same hotel and in the same room so I got to take one last look at the lady with the penetrating stare. I received some comments about the painting so I was able to find a few more treasures in the hotel so that I can share them with you. Enjoy!
During dinner one evening with the local project team one fellow started telling me about his 14 year old daughter who has a "serious attitude" according to him. He travels quite a bit for work and as usual was away from the family. He was exchanging some texts with his daughter while at dinner and he started laughing. She was trying to negotiate to stay out late this coming Friday and after getting tired of the usual time negotiations he had just texted her
"shouldn't you be in bed?"
her response was
"shouldn't you be at home?"
When he didn't respond she wrote
"Burnnnnnnnn"
And then when he continued to ignore her she followed up with a few more similar expressions showing that she had nailed him with a good come back. So we discussed what would be a good response and he sent my suggested text of;
"I miss you too, we need to spend more time together this Friday evening"
This put her back on track and she quickly responded that he was dreaming and that she still wanted to stay out later.....
