Stuffed Heads

I am always happily surprised at how people naturally want to help. I phoned up our local Fete to see if I could have a stand but it seems they are fully booked, however I Told the organiser - who was interested to hear about Homeopathy for Health in Africa - and she said that she would talk it over with the chairman to see what they could do. The owner of one of the estate agents also got back to me about loaning some equipment for the Swish party - hadn't expected that. Makes you feel good.

Went out for a walk with a friend after (jokingly) threatening physical violence (must work on my interpersonal skills). She is a wonderful, capable person but someone has managed to persuade her otherwise – which makes me cross - so fresh air was required.

First stop: the garage, where I was still unsure whether my request had reached the Right Ears – and the Right Ears were out to lunch. I’ll be back.

Then on to green pastures and open spaces where we could rant without being overheard (although we were still visible and I can get quite animated). After several muddy fields we felt we had made some headway and steered a course towards coffee.

Now this friend knows half the world, so on the way we called in on her pal in the antique shop who I Told; as a fellow therapist she was encouraging and will hopefully come to the Quiz. I also Told the owner who, to be fair, was honest enough to say come back when business was better. We were then somewhat distracted by the arrival of a mounted zebra head –a real one, dated April 1910 - followed by a stag’s head. Attention was then directed to the coveted lion’s head on the PC (they go for about 2 thousand quid!). This all seemed a bit bizarre, so we slipped out as a discussion ensued about using a giraffe’s head (with neck) as a lamp stand...

If you’re still counting, I then Told the manageress in the coffee shop and someone else my friend knew on the way home, not to mention the letter I sent to Tesco's charity organiser.
