Sadness and Smiles

Yesterday the 11th of September was a sad day and should always be remembered but I did manage two smiles. Margaret – about to move to another part of the country has decided that in order to cut down on removal expenses and hassle, they should get together all the opened bottles of drink they have collected over the years and finish them off before the move. They are doing it in a civilised manner – a Madeira evening followed by a Sherry evening and then a Tia Maria for a change. They should finish all the various liqueurs by the moving date and are disregarding the recommendations to finish bottles fairly soon once they are open.


Marigold who has recently started working on cold meats in the supermarket hasn’t yet quite got the hang of the customer staff relationship situation. She has her name – as do all the staff emblazoned on her bosom but when a customer says;
‘Just a bit more salami on that Marigold,’ she will glare at them and say:
‘Do I know you?’

Have a nice week-end.
