A group of Laura's old workmates were off to see a production of Catherine at Avignon, based on the tales of Catherine of Siena, by the subtlenuance theatre company. We joined them for dinner and in the Pink Peppercorn (a lovely laosian place on Oxford Street) and eventually trudged into the theater a good ten minutes late... The ending was not unlike the one in the film Se7en...

Following an off-the-cuff meeting I had on Tuesday morning I now have an interview for a job out here tomorrow at midday! So, I will have to do some prep tonight and try and find something smart to wear - Hmmmmm. I have brought mostly holiday clothing but I don't think a pair of boardies and a t-shirt are going to cut the mustard somehow...

I saw some of the biggest waves I've ever seen this afternoon, at Bondi Beach. So, I raced back to the car to squeeze into the wetsuit and headed out on my spanking new, freshly waxed surf board... I should explain that my board is a 7' 6" MiniMal which is very much a beginner board - the equivalant of a bicycle with stabilizers I'm not sure why, but I was the only one out there so I had pretty much the whole beach to myself! I got dumped a good few times but I caught a few waves perfectly... to coincide with the arrival of a bus load of Japanese tourists who took many photos of the only daft Englishman in the sea in winter
