Melbourne Cup Trip in Sydney - 3 Nov 2008
Filled in the morning by buying a travel shaver and going down to Circular Quay and then taking the ferry to Darling Harbour.
Met up with the Hollywood guy, who was very nice but not interested. Oh well that's how life goes sometimes.
Filled in a little more time with checking out the internet and discovered that the Bendigo home loan rate (after discounts) is comparable to the mecu one. I have got responses from both banks and they were both positive ones.
I haven't heard from the conveyancers, I will have to follow that up on Wednesday.
Not sure what to wear from dinner with Dean, opted for the only clean shirt I have at the moment.
I met up with Dean and he is exactly what I have been looking for, intelligent, extremely witted and thoughtful, as well as extremely well built. However, the feelings weren't mutual, the main problems being my height and our locations, neither of which I can do anything about unfortunately. I hope that I can call Dean my first true Sydneyside friend and plan to be in the crowd cheering for him when he competes next time.
I was very diasppointed by the outcome of the two meetings today, especially after Dean. I wonder if I should pursue some of the guys in Melbourne.
This has been an interesting trip to Sydney and I've not been spending all my time on the internet either, which has to be a good thing. Although I have been spending too much time in the hotel room and that's not a good thing
