Today I had two major jobs. First I needed to respond to some queries raised by the Big Lottery. The queries were simple enough, but simply collating the information took until mid afternoon. During this time there was one major distraction when I had to tend to a visitor after one of our chairs collapsed underneath her. The poor lady was quite shaken and I was glad that Anne was there as our First Aider - she was very impressive and handled everything superbly.

After completing the response to the Big Lottery, I met with Des and Saud to talk through a tender to Herts County Council. I have already made a bit of a start on the tender while I was off work, but the deadline is tomorrow (Friday). Des had done a bit of work digging up some useful references, and he and Saud had some useful points to make.

I finished the tender about 9:30 pm, but then I had to find and copy supporting documentation etc and I eventually arrived home about 11:30.

Jackie had left out some sausages and mash: lovely sausages! We had searched for a proper old-fashioned butcher and finally found one on the road to Knebworth (there is no butcher at all in Welwyn Garden City) and it’s good to taste real meat again.

Jackie herself was sound asleep. Sometimes I must really try her patience.
