A "free" weekend, and what did I do? I worked. Saddo that I am, I went to the office on both Saturday and Sunday and spent five hours or more each day sorting goods-in and listing availability on 136 business books. If that wasn’t excitement enough I visited the Liphook Sainsburys (gentle reader, I could rant about the Liphook Sainsburys until the end of November but I feel that you would be overcome with boredom – like the customers and staff of the Liphook Sainsburys).
What a thriller!
I suppose I did a few other things as well. On Saturday we saw the son and his family for "tea" and, later on, had a real social occasion - Wine Tasting and Quiz at Uppark - where we met the vicar-elect and discussed village life with the locals (didn’t do much good with the quiz, and doubt if I scored with the locals either).
On Sunday I test-drove the sister-in-law’s new Polo (wow, blue fascia lights, and very zippy if you keep away from fifth gear). And I cooked omelettes for the wife and her Auntie Jane who is in residence.
I also phoned my Mum who cheered me up with the tale of the older brother’s car security system: it played up first thing this morning making him late for church. Then it refused him access at all when he parked at the golf club – for a swim. That’ll teach him.
All in all, it feels like time for a change. The wife told me that she “wanted a break”. Maybe I want one too. There's only so much one can do for a business that has had its day.
Time for "La France" and that great unwritten novel...
