The long day at the shop was a hoot! A lot of the nicest regulars popped in to either buy, donate or just to say "Hello" and this is the first conversation she had with a regular.
He's a dealer, always looking for pretty stuff and she said to him as he stood and perused the shelves behind the till counter "You should come and work a couple of hours with us as a volunteer", he smiled and said "I'd be like Dracula working in the Blood Bank" and everyone laughed for the shop was full of customers!
Next was Craig, who is an art teacher, he buys auction house catalogues to show pupils great works of art, he is eccentric, charming and very blonde! He is crazy about her blonde look and said to her yesterday "Hey Blondie, it's looking great, have you just had it done, I LOVE the white streak". How nice was that!
Much nicer than the comment said to her by an old aquaintance she met in the street "Why are you blonde, it makes you look so old?", she thought that it would make my mum sad (some folk don't like to see other folk happy) but did not know my mum is made of tough stuff, who smiled as she replied "Why am I blonde? I'm blonde because I want to be" as she walked off down the street.
Glorious day today.. but no gardening will be done. For she's out of coffee! Not really out of coffee but she's finished the beloved Velluto Nero from The Algerian Coffee Store in Old Compton Street so she's doing a run to Soho and will look for artichokes in Berwick Street market as well.
Tomorrow she's taking delivery of Goaty milk for someone else, delivery time unknown but as there is much work to be done at home, this is not a problem. The weather is supposedly going to be ver stormy again with hail, rain and thunder storms but they forecasted that for last Friday and absolutely nothing happened!
Anyway, we don't care as all of our plants are still at home! One poor Courgette plant even has the tiniest babies, can you imagine what it is going to think when she plants it outside!
But it would be 'interesting' to see if the men have finished the work at the allotments that they were supposed to have done. She'll know on Saturday! And there will be, friends or not, a bit of a stink if those clippings are still there.
Two bottles of her essential and most beloved Swedish Bitters have to be ordered, there is something to take to the Post Office to send off to Plymouth. Life to be lived.. places to go.. things to do. I'll loll about and count the new feather shafts coming through on my tumtum, all is well in our life, as we hope it is in yours.
GeeGee Parrot.
