Crisp and dry and a little bit spooky!

Wasn't the weather lovely this weekend? Sunday was a perfect day for drying laundry, so I rolled my sleeves up and got stuck into our washing pile. The weather hasn't been terribly conducive to line drying for a couple of weeks now, so the mountain of items awaiting a spin in our machine was considerable.

By mid-afternoon I had got through most of it and our washing line was full of towels drying nicely in the slight and gentle breeze. I love the feel and the smell of crisp line-dried towels, so last night I wash in washer-woman heaven. Now neatly folded and stacked in a basket in my bathroom, they are ready for us to use once again.

Work today has been great; the telephone has rung almost non-stop again and Dave and I have been parcelling and packing orders between calls.

The most odd thing happened this morning ~ We were packing a large order onto a pallet ready for the delivery company to collect them and we ran out of pallet-wrap (it's like extra tough clingfilm), so I leapt into the car to see if any of our friends had any at their work. On my third stop, (I was going to our local building suppliers to see if they might be able to help) I pulled into their courtyard to see M standing there talking to a customer. Hooray, just the man I wanted to ask about any spare pallet-wrap and would you believe it? Tucked under his arm was a roll of pallet-wrap! It was amazing to be able to say to him 'Oh just the man I wanted to see and just the thing I wanted to see you about!'. It was an incredible coincidence (and just a little bit spooky!), but with thanks to M, we were able to finish packing the pallet and it has now gone on it's way to our customer. Some things are just meant to be.

This evening we are planning 'an evening on the sofa', I know it's not terribly romantic and my children always laugh when they catch us doing this ~ we sit side by side, a laptop on each of our laps, typing away whilst an episode or two of some old TV series keeps us company, courtesy of DVD player. But at least we are together and we are happy and who could ask for more?

Well as usual, it's time for a cup of tea, chat soon, Liz
