Second weekend at the Ideal Home Show

Days 9 and 10 melded into one long stint during which we stood in turns to bark out our offer. We gave out a lot of leaflets, so now we have to hope that the interest turns into sales. On Saturday evening we went to see our daughter who lives in Islington, and who is not well at present. She is nearly recovered, and we went to get a takeaway Turkish meal from a lovely cafĂ© called Gallipoli on Upper Street. It was delicious after a long hard day, but after a walk to the tube and from the tube at the other end our feet were killing us, as if on fire, and we fell asleep in minutes. Sunday was much the same, and after 6 we ate in Wagamama; again delicious, before Fran got the train back home and I got the tube to Jane’s. We had hoped to meet Nigel, an old friend who we all love, but he had a stomach bug and so couldn’t invite us to his boat. In retrospect, it probably would have been too much for us to do. I got back to Jane’s to find her children Charlie and Josh having a shouting match so I retired to my room, read for a while and fell fast asleep.
