Loving spending more time working with Rob Grundel again. He's a determined man, and an open person; he is an experimenter; he's a collaborator in the extreme. I feel blessed to get to play professionally with him, and now in a different context. Lovely coffeelabs meetup (madeupwords) at Google Campus. Thanks for the free coffee, coffeelabs people. What a sweet idea. It would happen without the free coffee, but not without the coffeelabs organisers (whose job is something entirely different) pairing people up in the community space so they can have a reason to get talking to someone.
And this evening, good food, quiet an a quick look at this video by Elizabeth Gilbert (I wasn't able to get rid of the ads, but maybe you can). I love it... for so many years, I've heard people say 'follow your passion'. She points out how great that is if you have one, and advocates the juiciness of curiosity. What if you were curious every day (or grateful. And grateful)? What if the whole of your life was one big 'ooh, I wonder what will happen when I do this...". As Ruth and Rob both would say: "That's good, isn't it?"Thank you to Fraser, the plumber I've never met, who has twice now done work for me for no money at all, once involving talking me through something on the phone and the second time, going to my flat, finding the tenants not there, calling me and them, waiting for them, fixing a leak and calling me back to let me know what he'd done. Whaaat? Thank you, Fraser, you utter legend. And thank you, nameless bright-eyed man who came to do my energy efficiency check, for recommending him.
