The end of another week

Nicola's daughter was helping out today, and I was very grateful, otherwise, I would have been answering the phone! She's a lovely girl and very sweet. She brings a breath of fresh air into the office! It's also great to see how Nicola fusses over her!

The day passed quickly, and I managed to write a fair bit of the moan report. Next Friday, I'm training with Sheila on the new system for our playscheme places, so that will be interesting. However, it means that I will then have only two weeks to try and get six weeks' worth of holiday places onto the system, and six weeks of activities! No doubt this will make the time fly by!

At home, I did half an hour on the exercise bike while watching a quiz show on BBC1. When Sophie came home, she had a shower (it's been warm today) and Keith went to the pub for the first time in two weeks to catch up with John, who'd been in France, lucky thing!

Sophie and I opened a bottle of Austrian wine and watched the end of a documentary on Michelle Mone, who had founded the Ultimo lingerie business. It was riveting viewing, as she was a master of self-promotion and went from successful businesswoman to pariah after the PPE scandal during covid.

We only had fifteen minutes to watch, and we then decided to watch one of my favourite films, The Horse Whisperer. The beginning does not make for pleasant viewing...

After dinner, we watched some more, but the film is a long one, so we turned it off and watched Top of the Pops from 1985 instead. More dancing around the living room!
