I was up and ready very early as the electrician said he would call at 7.30 to look at the sockets. He didn't actually arrive till after eight as he got caught in traffic.
Seems a nice man, Anton from S Africa, and said he could do the job and went off to get the right sockets. When he came back it took him about half an hour and they were all done. He was telling me they are a new company in this area and are called the Grey Army. They are all over 40 and some have had heart attacks and strokes, Anton has had two strokes but looks really well, and it is a way to get them all back into work. I thought it was very efficient as I only called yesterday and now they are finished! I have been trying to get a decorator and a carpenter into Centre Drive for months but they just don't call back yet they say there is mass unemployment in the UK!!!
While Anton was here I made some very nice lemon squares to take to the book room as the ladies were saying the other day that they were missing my offerings although we are never short of cakes for morning coffee or afternoon tea as all the ladies are good bakers. I went and picked the lemons from our tree and they are so big and juicy.
I went over to the book rooms and we were so busy but it is all looking pretty good. The photographer came from the newspaper to do a story and take some photos. We also borrowed more tables as we have run out of space. Only one more week and it will be over. However, I will miss the going over and chatting to the ladies but it has been pretty stressful these last few weeks with so many books coming in and having to change from one shop premises to another I thought we would never get on top of it but we have so all is good.
I went to the supermarket and when I arrived home the locksmith was here - oops I had forgotten he was coming. He said he had been here for 20 minutes. He fixed the lock but he did say it was very old and could do with replacing but I don't think we will bother as there are two locks on the door anyway.
I brought all my four loads of washing in and folded it. I think I will have to spend the whole of tomorrow afternoon ironing.
Jon and Heather came home and I cooked dinner and was more than ready for a sit down after dinner and catch up with Coronation Street.
