Old friends and new hobbies

Working again this week at the healthcare agency which is fast becoming the middle of a Venn diagram where lives past and present overlap. Him Next Door is back from Antarctic adventures on the floor below me, I'm enjoying getting to know Betsy, the cheerful and talented art director I'm working with. Also caught up with Jake and Debs, a team I used to work with in this building, who are now freelancing at our old agency which is where Robbie works. The infamous Peter Kenny was also working here on Monday and Tuesday and I even bumped into the Gnome, PK's old art director, yesterday.

There must be something in the air, or chickens coming home to roost or something...

It's nice in many ways. Not only in terms of seeing old friends, it also makes me think about what I've done career wise, the number of people I've worked with, and how I've improved as a copywriter since I last worked in this building. Was also great to catch up with Peter over some beers and a big plate of chilli. We even discovered a shared love of the song Witchita Lineman - a rare occurance where our musical tastes are aligned.

In other news, I have developed an obsession with growing pumpkins. So expect to hear more about them.
