Lifting and shifting

Today was the Saturday of a bank holiday weekend and the weather forecast warned us to make the most of the sunshine today. So I drove into Watford for 9:00 to help shift some furniture. Diane Lee, the big hearted chair of Watford Community Housing Trust, had arranged for WCVS to inherit some good office furniture from a company that is closing down. So this morning, I was there with others to take whatever we could of this furniture to store at WCVS for the use of any local groups that might need new desks or filing cabinets.

By 1:00 I was back home, exhausted and getting ready for a trip to Watford Palace Theatre for a matinee performance of Alan Bennett’s Kafka’s Dick. This was absolutely superb - the new management team at the Palace Theatre are setting very high standards.

On the return journey, Jackie and I ate at a new Chinese restaurant in Hatfield and this too was also excellent. Sadly, but the time we arrived home, the weather was too gusty to sit outside.
