Last night, occurred an incident most curious on my way to the Old Horse public house. I left the house at around a quarter to nine, as is my wont. The weather was inclement and I was wearing a tweed coat, a brown Fedora and a pair of leather gloves. I tell you this not out of a desire to advertise my sartorial elegance, but because without these

Hi Spooks,

Just thought I would leave a short note to say how much I enjoyed the stories on your journal.

I found your journal through a friend's (Crystal). As someone looking at joining the Sydney bar, its nice to read the tales of someone enjoying themselves so much at the UK one.

How do you do? I had a read about some of your adventures in Holland: sounds like really interesting thing to have done. Have you qualified yet or are you still making up your mind on what to do? I can honestly say that I couldn't have wished for a more enjoyable career! I've added you as a friend.

Hello again :)

Thanks for adding me, I have enjoyed reading about your adventures. Sorry for the late reply!

I am qualified as a solicitor now (as of yesterday...) Unfortunately the culture (and rules) in Australia re going to the bar is different to the UK and Ireland. Here you have to be admitted to practice as a solicitor before you can practice as a barrister. The culture is that one goes to the bar after some years practice as a solicitor, leading to an older bar, which is a tad disheartening for us types who just want to go to there asap....

Yep, Holland was pretty fun- it left me with very itchy travel feet, and a love of public international law. I sitll have the ICC website bookmarked on my computer...

I hope you are in good health and spirits, and look forward to making your acquaintance further :)
