Tuesday, 30th August
We are so used to going out on a
Tuesday evening, we went to the club tonight. It was the first day
open after our summer break. It was a quiet evening, we talked with
Stefan. His editor has left, and Stefan asked if Ben would be
interested to help edit the footage from Pride. The new editor does
not want to get involved with this side of the business. I gave it
the ok. Stefan is doing it as a free thing for the committee. It will
give Ben something else to do and he can learn a skill, using
professional software.
Martin and I have a date at the new
premises to discuss with the owner some building work. We want his
expertise. We have not purchased any fixing and fittings yet, only
the building. I believe the kitchen equipment is quite old, but then
we are not planning on offering any food. Anything he can sell, he
can invest in his new venture in Spain, so if we are not interested,
he can sell it now on the open market.
Time has run away with us this
year. At the beginning of the year I was afraid I would be bored, now
I think I do not have enough time. We need to appoint an assistant
manager, ideally someone who is prepared to live on site. We will
offer it to existing staff first. Usually we find staff through our
current staff, or people who are young and want to get into the scene
approach us for a job, thinking they can meet people and get sex. We
do not encourage that, we want to keep that apart. The majority of
our staff are straight forward people, we pay well and run a fair
business.
Ben and I are going to Folsom Fair
in Berlin with Mats and Sahid. They wanted to experience it and we do
not mind. Ben has been to San Francisco several times.
Friday, 2nd September
I am working one more week. I was
supposed to finish today, but one of my colleagues has gone to a
conference. It has been nice to have an income.
Our plumber was here yesterday to
talk about the plans for the bathroom. At the moment it has a bathtub
and separate shower, we want a wet room. The plumber said it will be
a lot of mess, removing the old tiles and they need to dig up the
floor. Ben was getting anxious,thinking about the dust they will
create. I had to send him to his cell. The plumber has left me some
catalogues to choose fittings. I have decided to have the work done
while we are in Canada. Per and Lasse can stay in the house to
supervise.
Friday, 9th September
I was quite sad to say good bye to
my colleagues again. We are leaving for Folsom Fair in Berlin in an
hour. We have booked a cheaper hotel this time. S/M have not got a
budget like us. Ben and I had the usual talk about him wearing the
collar through the airport, he is leaving it on, but not wearing his
device. We mostly have leather stuff in our suitcases. We thought
about taking the ferry, but it takes too long. I will report back on
Monday or Tuesday.
