Meetings

Wednesday, 29^th March

Today Ben helped out at the Townhouse and then spent some time with Per and Lasse. I do not really want to know what they get up to, I know Ben enjoys it. Sometimes they play, sometimes they just hang out. Lasse and Ben have an understanding which works without words.

He gave the flat a once over.

I had a meeting with Martin and Kristoffer, we discussed plans for the summer. The location is such an asset, we have to make the most of it and offer it to “normal” people. We are thinking about building a wood oven and barbecue to offer pizza. We might have to employ a chef, or maybe we can get a company in to run it for us. Martin is going to sort it. We have already made enquiries about offering swimming, but apparently there are some currents and it is too dangerous. Even if we were to employ life guards etc. We actually have to put signs up to discourage people from getting into the water.

Then I had a meeting with the accountant. The first few weeks of trading have been very good.

Mr Allender confirmed the date for painting the house beginning of June. All the permits have been sorted and the company has been instructed. Hopefully this will be the last major work for 10 years.

It felt good to have all these appointments, and I phoned Stefan to meet up. We met for a coffee and a chat. His company is doing well and he asked me again if Ben would be interested in getting some more training as editor so he could help out. I am sure Ben would like it, but I have my reservations.

I like Stefan, I have known him for years, but when he talks about Ben, there is something that makes me uneasy about leaving them too alone. I think Stefan likes Ben too much, and I do not want to risk anything. I want us to be friends. So I'd rather only have them meet when I am there. I am not sure if Ben would be able to handle advances from Stefan. He might think I have approved of it. Anyway. That reminds me, I need to find us a self defence class.
