Good morning from Bristol, still damp but less rain forecast today. It rained steadily all of yesterday.
I got a lot done in the morning. I had various things to print out before meeting the financial advisor. Spanish homework done - it was hard and I couldn’t finish it. Laundry washed, dried, ironed and put away.
I called my lovely friends in Sandwich. They are haberdashers, and got help finding a pattern and wool for a Norwegian style yoked jumper. Main colour is dove grey, the rest is black, orange, yellow and white. Should look lovely and cheerful. Rose will send me a parcel in the next few days.
DD offered to take me to the financial advisor, she now wants to be around for all financial transactions more than a small sum. As it was pouring, I gratefully accepted. I think DD is happy with what we have discussed. (But there are so many topics which seem to be verboten with her)
I had another meeting immediately after in the opposite village. By chance, the secretary works at the advisor’s office, so I scrounged a lift off her. That one went well too,but I came home rather tired.
Fortunately, dinner was an easy salad, so I didn’t need to cook anything. Early bed.
Today, there is a coffee morning on the estate hosted by me. It has been taken over by another resident to introduce the new temporary, agency manager (who seems to know her stuff) and Mr. Teflon. It would have been good manners to ask, it could have been on another day, but no, it is today. I shall turn on the ice, I think. I’m good at that.🥺
In the afternoon, I have the very last Townswomen’s guild meeting before they shut down for good. No real loss for me but I’m sure many women will miss it.
‘Nuf. I hope you all have a good day, free from pain, sorrow, anxiety and distress. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
