Musings from the airline lounge

I have so many homes these days - Brisbane, Sydney, New York, M House at #42, My other House at #44, my Sydney bookstore, my NY bookstore, and... the various homogeneous airline lounges of the world's international airport. Current home = BA Terrace Lounge, San Francisco, awaiting flight to Sydney. Upside: we have the cute, painted-all-over, Aborignal-design jumbo. Downside: awaiting a flight to Sydney. Ugh. Laptop is charging, but will clearly last nowhere near the whole way home, even if it is my beloved macbook. Need second G&T.

Now that we've sorted out my whereabouts, a quick update.

Kiva (#4 new): received my first loan repayment of $2.50 yesterday. I was so pleased - I'd sort of forgotten about it being a loan and great to realise the woman I lent to has things progressing smoothly with her business and is on track with repayments. On my side, I'm finishing up my application to spend a few months with them - fingers crossed.

Project365 (#41 new): still going. Had a very uninspired week a couple of weeks ago, with plenty of 11pm photos, but am back on track now - even if I'm really starting to struggle with airplane photos (though really mustn't complain)

Galleries (#71 new): three weeks in NY and only one gallery visit - shocking really - but it was a good one - The Frick Collection - loved it

Spanish (#76 new): going well - putting in a couple of hours a day of study and starting to understand the signs on the subway - though was much confused by the signs on the bathroom doors in the airport today - caballeros y damas? what happened to hombres y mujeres?? Apparently it's a bathroom thing.

Feeling like my old tasks are getting a bit neglected, but I haven't forgotten them. Some aren't super-relevant in my Lady of Leisure mode, but I trust they will be again before too long.

Adios!
