Before and After

This is late today.  I knew it would be.  I just did not know it was going to be this late.
Once a month there is a gathering of guys here at something called menzone.  We have breaky and a chin wag and someone shares from their experience something relevant to some or all. 
I must admit we heard from our guest speaker a little latter than normal.  A successful time to me is among other things people just talking with each other.  That was happening all around today.  New friends talking and old friends talking. 
Then we heard from the guy speaking today and it was good and relevant.  The relevance to me is measured by what people say afterwards, and it seems a number could relate to and were helped by what was being said.
I knew I was going to be late today as it involves a fair amount of preparation and then cleaning up.  Namely washing up.  My aim is to make it look like I was never there because there is no evidence around to give it away.  That is just something I have done for a long time.  To me there are few things worse than evidence being left around (sometimes for months in the case of handyman jobs) that a work in progress is happening.  Admittedly sometimes it is convenient but many times it is unnecessary to my mind.
So that is what I have been doing.  I have loaded the dishwasher and washed and dried and put away stuff that did not fit. Ok I am a novice concerning dishwashers as I do not normally use them but they are great for bulk stuff in my mind.  I want to ask Merril if it is good to go when she returns today.
Ok there are a couple of things that need putting away as I do not know where they go.  I can normally tell because there is a gap for something, but in this instance I cannot see a gap.
So here I am having had a good morning and listening to music while I washed up and did a few things.  It has been good though I am glad the rest of the day is off.  I feel a sleep coming on and then getting into things later.
