Another nice person

Yesterday, I sent an email, on spec, to the Weston Information Library in the UK, asking for details of any obituary notices around the time of my father's death. SD, a senior library assistant, replied today stating that she had been unable to find a notice in any newspaper in 1989, but had contacted the local Registry Office and had tracked down details of the entry in the Registry of Deaths. Despite all the negative stuff you read in the news, it just goes to show that there are still pleasant and helpful people in the world.

The day was spent mostly in the garden, preparing for winter by pruning the two vines, cutting back undergrowth (it's amazing how stuff is growing at the moment) and making sure all the hedging trees were securely supported. I also spent some time checking and topping up the pool next door. All in all quite a fruitful day.

Because his wife is away, we invited William for dinner. Jan knocked up a vegetable curry and fruit salad. Who would have thought that a French man would like curry? He had seconds, as did we all. Good healthy stuff and lots of it!
