What a beautiful morning, sun shining and very few clouds so up fairly early and a good walk with Pippa before starting work. Great this time of year as there aren't many other people about.
Number of jobs this morning running people to work and into town, to the hospital and to the doctors. Found out what one young girl has bought for her baby already and she still has two months to go. She said her Mum told her not to take the labels off the baby clothes particularly the one's people give her then she can take them back to the shop and exchange them if she doesn't like them or they are the wrong size!!!
They say Yorkshire people are tight. Well I had someone admit that today. I picked up a man and his elderly mother, he said she was in a wheelchair but she could get out and the chair could go in the boot. She did manage in and out of the car but with great difficulty so while on our journey into town he asked about our other vehicle for wheelchairs, I explained how this worked and that it would cost a bit more with it being the minibus. When he phoned to go home again I mentioned that the minibus was available but he said the car would do as although he now lived in New Zealand (for the last 45 years) he was still a tight Yorkshire man and his mother could manage in the car. You would think that he would spoil his Mother while he was here considering he only sees her every five years!!
This evening I have taken the usual lot to the Club to play their weekly game of Bingo. One of them is really tight as well as she will only go if the others are going so she doesn't have to pay full fare. One lady was telling us how she would be away for a while as she was going to Norfork for a few days and then off to France for a fortnight. Then a chap in the car said 'You are always going away, you are like horse muck, spreading yourself all over the place' (said in a strong west Yorkshire accent) I thought is was a really strange thing to say.
Well thats all for today, my husband can do the late jobs and I can get my beauty sleep ready for Manchester Airport tomorrow.
