Friday

I was asked to go and help at the Red Cross shop's processing room by the ladies I met at Lions the other night and they go on Fridays so off I went to join them. It is like a big warehouse beneath the actual shop and it is full of all sorts of stuff. I met Lois there and the lady in charge asked me to help with some Easter things they wanted to sell. They had been given loads of end of line jewellery and her idea was to decorate a glass or a mug with a necklace and matching earrings stuff some tissue in the top and put on a couple of mini eggs or a cream egg in. They are then put into clear plastic bags and taken to the shop to be sold. I have no idea how much they intend to sell them for but I wouldn't pay more than a dollar!!!! We had a break mid morning for coffee and somebody had brought in some hot cross buns and we all sat around and had a chat. I was glad they did not put me on pricing clothes as I have no idea what things should cost in dollars when they are new let alone what they should cost in a charity shop. You can only park outside for two hours so that was a good time to say I was going and I went off to do my weekly shop. It passed a morning and the company was nice.

I bought a piece of beef for Saturday and the cut is called bolar roast. It looks like a nice piece but I have no idea what part of the cow it comes from! I'm sure it will be fine.

In the afternoon I caught up with my emails.

As it is fish and chip night I have no dinner to prepare.

The fish and chips, once again, were excellent. We had John Dory and the batter is so light and a half a scoop of chips is still more than enough.
