Also had to (metaphorically) leap upon my white charger to unexpectedly take a friend to the train station, so she could go and see her sick Dad. Life has not been easy for her recently, so we joked that as this one is a bit rubbish perhaps she should go in for reincarnation. Black humour, but at least we laughed.
As far as the Quest in concerned, this town is beginning to reach saturation point; walking back from Tea with Mum I bumped into numerous people I have already Told. Then I had a thought and called in at the library, not for books but because I knew there would be two people behind the counter with no easy escape, so I Told them. They kindly offered to let me leave some information cards there.
Further up the hill I came across one of the biddies from Saturday and we had a good chat, in fact a far reaching discussion about the best way to deal with spiders and other creepy crawlies (if you don't want to kill them). A lot of people are concerned that when I go to Africa I have at least one mosquito net but now I find I will also need a large glass and piece of cardboard.
Finally I managed to Tell my sister-in-law today - can't imagine how I haven't before, though she does live in Ireland (is that a proper excuse?) I was intrigued to hear how she described work at the moment (she is a teacher, teaching sweet young things) - "not awful awful, just normal awful".
