An unexpected visit!

Because I'd been at work on Saturday, I had fewer emails to deal with this morning. It's half-term this week and we weren't as busy as I thought. We were all wondering if people had gone away for some late sun this week?

Keith collected me at 2pm and I went home to pootle about. The glass fitter had called me at work today to say he was coming tomorrow to replace the roof panels in the conservatory and fit the glass with the cat flap. We have two weeks to teach the cats to open it and use it!

As we sat in the kitchen in the evening playing cards, I saw a tall figure at the door, and I nearly fell off the bar stool when the back door was flung open... it was Mike! He was pleased to see us using his gifts from Asia - Keith was drinking out of the beer glass and my Cracksters were in the recycled coconut shell!

He told us he'd secured a job again with idverde, the company he worked for in 2019. We were delighted! He starts next week and will be putting down turf in new builds rather than the parks maintenance he did five years ago, but he was pleased he'd managed to get a job so quickly. He picked up his work gear, had a chat and then returned to Abbie's house in Northampton.

I cooked a mince crumble this evening and we watched our usual Monday night quiz shows. Keith and I didn't do badly with some of the questions on University Challenge, but I swear they're getting harder!
