Had an awesome day - special surprise my granddaughter from Oz flew over on the weekend her maternal grandmother died up North but I didn’t think I would see her as she has to be back in Oz Friday - she is an intern at a law firm and they have a huge case starting - but her mothers brothers are fighting over the funeral arrangements so she flew down here and flew out this afternoon to Auck - so was a huge surprise - I know you shouldn’t have favourites but she is mine - Robie had an ice cream cake made so she came in carrying it - burst into tears - wish the old boy had been there - there were plenty of ideas of what they could do on my 21st - unfortunately I do not have my mothers genes and am very unlikely to be around !
When I graduated from uni I went to work at Robert Holts which became Carters as an accountancy cadet and a boy cadet started the same day - we were both leap year - that really was a coincidence- my first experience of getting paid less because I was a female even though my degree was higher than his and I wasn’t allowed to join the super scheme - after I had been there a few years I fought them and won on both fronts - good days
