376. A small loss

VELENJE, SLOVENIA

The next morning Halloumi had moved but still sleeping, research telling us that mice sleep fourteen hours per day. Later in the day, much to our surprise we discovered Halloumi had died which was quite a surprise. Another surprise was how disappointed I was.

Board meeting tonight. Phoned fellow director Len and discovered that the wifi was very scratchy... not easily resolved but essential for tonights board meeting at ten thirty. 

Also phoned Uncle Richard, my business co-owner and he offered his 75 for me to use next month when I am back in NZ for meetings. It is 1980's V6 Alpha that was derelict and broken in a warehouse that we took in a hurry following the quakes and now modified with multiple butterflies and rorty exhaust. I love it, it is brilliant to drive. The height of nineteen eighties angular cool.

Roman spent quite a bit of time with a group of Irish boys from the camp watching the side show there being a large family group with seven beautiful new caravans and late model cars putting our rig to shame. None of the boys had the money to ride but, as the story relates, Roman showed them his money, six euros, two pounds and a special coin. Later one of the boys had some money and they watched him ride. Later again, Roman discovered that he did not have any money and returned in tears with his empty purse, upset and confused. Somewhere in that there is a learning opportunity for Roman.

Yesterday was mostly spent prepping for the board meeting and catching up on other admin stuff. Jacqueline and Fyfe went to the local mall in the early evening. I did the board meeting until the early hours in the Disco with the fan heater to keep me company.
