Well a new charity shop has opened opposite my butcher and they wanted volunteers
I volunteered
So I am to be in the shop on Wednesday to start
The charity
The National Council for the Blind Ireland
So having a blind assistant is fitting…

I have just had a new security light fitted to the front of the house. The old one had taken to shining all the time, after dusk. Now, I’m listening to my 30+ year-old tumble dryer squeaking away. It still w#rks, but I may have need to replace it. Mr Bee would be delighted were I to cave in on this one, but I really can’t bear throwing out something so bulky when it still functions…No, we’ll just have to put up with its squeaking and jaundiced carcase.
By the way - DD told us on Saturday that she has been offered the Deputy Directorship of her branch of the charity for which she volunteers. Not bad, at 27, but I do worry that she does too much already. Full-time job, free-lance typing/proof-reading, volunteering/training, doing up their house. Well, she has always been a busy bee, I suppose.

Sounds like it just needs new bearings. Not a massively complicated job, and there’s no point replacing the whole machine if it still works—and no modern one will give that length of service! If you have the make & model, I’ve found this company excellent to deal with:

You must be rather happy with the way she’s turned out.
And congratulations to her on the Deputy Directorship offer

We had Elderly Aunt’s old tumble-dryer after she died in 2004 & itizz still going strong
It was a Godsend when Mr C needed 2 loads washed/dried per day
Your lovely DD, what a splendid young woman she is
I think that we may need Celebratory Slammers

Too much Pondering too, when one feels like Shoite

I’m happy when she’s happy, Gus. Thank you.
And, thanks to Carinthia for kind comment. I’d never brag about the Kinder - their achievements are their own.
My sympathy forran awful day, Carinthia. Let’s tackle this suddenly huge lake of bubbles.

Will you be listening to tomorrow’s Prom concert with Jonny Greenwood? I can’t wait to hear the recording (well, I’ll have to).
