Tuesday, 4 October:

Suzanne is feeling much better today, but I have a cold coming in the post. It hasn't arrived yet, but I know it is on the way. We head out to Starbucks to do some more web surfing and look for jobs. Hurray for me, I now have an interview scheduled for Friday, which makes me very happy, and another lead with a sourcing firm. Suzanne researched some leads and has an idea of how she wants her CV to look when she follows up on them. Also, one of Suzanne's friends emails us both to let us know her mother is in town and could we please look her up as she is feeling a bit lonely. We head to a mall that is supposed to contain a Sephora, only to find out that they all closed in the UK. We call Gaby's mom and meet her nearby at a Starbucks. Dawn is an absolutely fascinating woman and what is supposed to be a quick coffee meeting turns into about 2 and half hours of conversation. Afterwards, we surf the net for a bit, then head home.
