Quick visit

PARK called in on Sunday afternoon. They had been to see ACMJ to deliver a birthday present to Matthew. After that, the kids were very disappointed with us. Kirsten was particularly miserable. Don't know what is going to happen when we go on holiday together! They stayed over for tea so I stretched out the Spanish Omelette I had planned for our tea and they left shortly afterwards.
I should have gone out but sagged instead. Bob R. came round with some of the Christian Aid money that had been handed to him. They are away for a few days and he asked me if I could bank it today rather than it be left in their house. I said I would be willing to make some tellers day. I went up to Lloyds TSB this morning. Luckily I got parked quite close as it was petty heavy. As luck would have it, the cashier was Carol MacW. She was very efficient but there was still quite a queue by the time she had weighed in all the coins.
I went across to the Nat West to see if the mandate we had handed in several days ago had been transacted. The cashier assured me it had. I would have hated for the cheques I signed for the outing last Friday to have bounced!
I was only out for 30 minutes yet I saw several people I knew and spoke to them. Busy little place Willerby Square although there are mostly Estate Agents. I suppose it does have a couple of open banks. Can't really pay in 400 quidsworth of coins over t'Internet.
As the newspaper bin is due to be emptied this week, I shredded a few more old letters from out of the loft. I daren't start reading them or I will never get them done. Writing to and from every port generated quite a lot of mail. My plan was to put the paper in the compost bin. However, there is enough wet matter to keep it going but not so much as to need a lot of dry matter. If it does get soggy, there is plenty to go at in the loft!
