Lovejoy watch out!

Yesterday was a Thomas day, with G coming along to do jobs.
T was his usual fun self, J joined in after school.
Later we went to Wagamama's for a light meal & then to see "Defiance" with Daniel Craig - a story of the Russian Jews hiding in the forests during WW2.
Unfortunately, we arrived in time to see the trailers, so we were both asleep before the film started. I woke up 10-15 minutes in & woke G up. The rest of the film was good, thought provoking stuff.

Today, G & I had an early start, loading the car with goods for the table sale in the village hall.
It started at 1.00pm, so we went round to the hall for 10.00am, G driving, me on foot, as the car was really full, no room for me.
There was no one around, so we came home - more exercise - & phoned to find out that the hall would be open from 11.30am. We had a nice cup of coffee & a Viennese biscuit for elevenses & then back to the hall - I drove, G cycled on that foldable, small wheeled contraption.
We eventually had two tables to fit everything on.
There were about twenty tables & just over twenty punters!
Against the odds, we made £45 profit, packed the remaining goods nice & tidily,leaving two boxes of lesser desirable stuff for a proposed jumble sale in a few weeks time.
We met some nice folk, many of whom also donated goods for the jumble sale. We bought a rather magnificent carved wooden table lamp, about 3ft tall & a glass preserve jar with a silver lid. Total outlay, £2.50.
The ladies running the next table were raising money for a Coleshill School venture.
They are doing a table at Coleshill Town Hall on 31 Jan & kindly helped us to book a table - the last one, so we are in business.
We came home, tidied up, lit a fire & prepared to settle down for a cosy evening with an Indian takeaway. At some point G decided that it would be a good idea to go to the new Indian restaurant at the old Post Office in Coleshill.
We had a very good meal, well worth the half-mile run to & from the car in driving, torrential rain.
We are now sitting by a roaring fire, listening to the rain pounding on the conservatory roof, watching a DVD about ancient Egypt.
