Well, nothing sensible got done, the post is still in her basket and the jaunt to Squires didn't take place.
For she felt more than a trifle stiff and cold, so she piled on thermal clothes and stayed at home with me.
I certainly wasn't about to complain, she couldn't have taken me on the jaunt as she would have been carrying home two heavy pots.
She did some housework, not much but some, more papers were sorted and shredded and Mr.Bissel, the carpet cleaner, then went around making his noise whilst he cleaned the carpets.
Don't ever use a suction carpet cleaner on 'good' carpets and NEVER use them on oriental rugs, old or new.
For they strip the wool or silk from the threads and cause horrendous damage to valuable rugs. She has a dear friend who is a restorer of beautiful rugs and tapestries and she says that almost all the rugs that are brought to her studio for restoration and repair are damaged by.. guess whose machines?
Why none other that Sir James Dyson's! The man who gained a knighthood but is now doing a bunk to Singapore.
And he 'vacuums' up money in other ways apart from his various Dyson machines.
In 2017 his company Beeswax Framing got £1.8 million in farm subsidies. Just over £1 million of that was for just owning farmland!
In 2014 he was listed as owning 25,000 acres and by 2017 his land holdings had increased to 33,000 acres. These acres are in Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire and in Gloucestershire, where he owns Dodington Park.
Farmland is free of inheritance tax.. need I say more?
She has called Squires and asked them to put two Black Elderflower aside for her and said she will be with them before 1pm, so she better get a wiggle on and make our fast breaking yumyum in that case!
Yes, I have to stay at home but I will be out there at the allotments for most of the rest of the week, apart from tomorrow which is the day she has lunch with Barbara and takes place in the Quiz.
It's a sunny day, we heard from Pegeen in Illinois that snow is 'deep and crisp and even' all over her garden, meanwhile, here we have 15C and it's climbing!
Chirp.
GeeGee Parrot.
