Sushi Driving (II)
We got up at 5.30am this morning for another sushi job. It was dark and raining…
Just like last Friday we picked up Keiko and her two assistants and drove them to the venue. This time the destination was Greystanes High School in Sydney’s west. We had to get there by 7.30am for an 8.30am start.
Keiko and her assistants
Like last time, I didn’t stay for the class. I headed back, but it was morning peak hour and the M4 was in gridlock. I therefore decided to delay my return by stopping off at Westfield Parramatta where I had coffee and read the paper while I waited for the traffic to subside.
Meanwhile, Yuko took these pictures…

My New Job: Sushi Driver
Having five days off work each week is not all leisure and beer-drinking. Today I actually had work to do – as a ‘Sushi Driver’.
Our friend Keiko of Studio Keiko has employed both of us to assist with her remote sushi classes – Yuko as a photographer and me as a driver.
We went to pick up Keiko and her two assistants at 8.30 am…
Our destination was Knox Grammar School, a dandy private boys’ school on Sydney’s leafy North Shore…
I dropped the four Japanese women and left them in a big empty room.
There were two double-period sessions scheduled for the day, so I went home and left them to it. I therefore didn’t get to see the sushi-making in progress, but below are Yuko’s photos of the event…

I returned to pick them up at 3.45pm and they reported that the day had been a success!
No commentsBusiness Rival
My business rival has expanded his operation. Despite this, ‘Noswonky’s Free Money’ is still making a profit!
Yuko has abandoned ‘Aristocrat’ and has started going to ‘FireFly’ most afternoons. She likes the big stable tables in the outside section. Today when I met her there after work, she was eating potato chips!
