Yesterday we unplugged the studio at TPA. The remodelling is going ahead as planned, and the builders start tomorrow. We finished so late I missed the last train, and had to find a more circuitous route home.
We unplugged and stored everything: desk; patch-bays; racks of kit; monitors; speakers; computers....everything.
Steve's new business partner is an amusing young woman in her twenties. She has lots of chaps fluttering around her, trying to help her out. One of these is quite a personable young man who has just left the Royal Engineers. I gently pointed out to him that he should be a little more assertively individual when madame asks him to jump through flaming hoops.
Oh well, I shall look on with benign amusement: the young lady is evidently an incorrigible flirt, as is her wont; and which is, I suppose, proper in the young. But she really shouldn't try to vamp her elders....cynical old buggers like me see through that sort of stuff, in the same way that Old Ladies always get my number exactly: not to be trusted, but a damn good laugh.

Re: Butting in to say...
'Coming out with it' is only alright if the girl concerned means it: if she just wants to get a few admirers jumping through hoops for her and lessening her workload....I mean, how else do rich attractive young women get things done?
Exploitation is such a blunt word, as is delegation. Young men just seem to want to do things for this lass. I find it all hugely amusing; and even funnier when she tries such tactics on me. I think I unnerved her though: she's already described me as clever. We know what this means. However, she does have an ex she wishes to annoy, so the flirtatiousness may mask some inner turmoil, or such revelation may merely be another weapon in the armoury of the normal young woman of a certain kind today.
The young are quite wonderful in so many respects: if only they could discipline themselves they'd be something to be reckoned with; outside of the outbursts of thuggishness and murder that seems to occupy their collective time; and wherein the innocent get caught in the crossfire.
Collectively, the young provide a better spectacle than the Colosseum: murder, mayhem, ignorance, and prejudice.
Lock 'em up on principle and only let 'em out when they've passed the proper tests and have given much evidence of good behaviour. And they should all be on parole until sometime in their thirties.
Perhaps I exaggerate.
