A very busy day

Today was in sharp contrast to yesterday. Yesterday I had hours to myself to spend however I wanted to but today was occupied from start to finish. I just discovered last night that as secretary for WRI I was expected to put up posters and inform all members by note that the meeting was this week. Consequently I had to type and print the leaflets and posters and also deliver them. I took a short cut by emailing some of the members! That job took most of the morning. I made some soup and had a quick sandwich while doing some accounting of the charity money before meeting Pat at 2pm to sort out the flower tubs! There are six of them; two at the south side of the village, two in the middle, and two at the north end. The work was very physical and involved moving heavy loads of soil and bulbs etc. Two hours later we had accomplished what we had set out to do. Finally we went into the garage which was next to the last two barrels, to get water for the plants and who should be filling up his tank with petrol but Billy Connelly! He looked so well groomed and smart compared to how he used to appear on TV. I just said to him, 'Lovely day we have had today.' So Prince Charles and Billy Connelly in one week....I wonder who I shall meet tomorrow?
As soon as I got home from the planting I had to prepare for the dance class...beginners and more, make the tea, and look out my stuff for the performance at the Invercauld. But I got a little sidetracked from all that by the emails going between the characters in the Murder Mystery. Great fun and quite funny.
The dancing was very quiet tonight as so many people are away, but we managed a few dances with the beginners, and then had a cup of coffee as there were only 4 experienced dancers after the beginners left. On to the Invercauld and a reasonable collection of £60.
