Lunch with Vanessa and Jessica

Vanessa was looking for a new job, and I agreed to be a referee. She then suggested we have lunch together, and invited Jessica who also works in the city.

We met at Wynyard station to decide where to go. The simplest option, right there in the station, was Wynstop. I haven't been there since many years ago, when it was the American Café, and thought it looked pretty ordinary. However, going there wouldn't waste time looking round, so there we went. And it was actually pretty good. My burger came with an italian sausage (as well as half an oak-leaf lettuce, most of which I didn't eat). The chips were nice and crisp.

Vanessa had got the job and will start some time in April. It will be in Pyrmont, so we should still be able to meet for lunch. And Jessica's contract is coming to an end, and she's not in a great hurry to get a new one, so she was pretty relaxed too.

Graham was able to join us too, and took Louka for a walk when she got fidgety. He brought her back just as Jessica was leaving, but she was still whingey. However, when Vanessa held her to let me get my stuff organised, she cheered up immensely.
