Busy.
Is this a cold I see before me?
Please.....no!
I didn't have a cold through all of last winter, but with the first wintry days this year it might be trying to take hold.
Have I started the echinacea too late?
Anyway, already feeling happily tired from a very busy weekend, tonight I feel exhausted.
It has been a surprisingly busy day at the shop. I took one look at the torrential rain and assumed people would stay home in the dry. But that was our most busy time.
Yes, people are happily buying all sorts of things......right up until closing time.
In she came at five to five......looked at silver frames.
What would be the best price and do we take credit cards?
We don't.
Oh, sighs and frustrations! This just hadn't been her day it seems. She said she would get money and do one or two other things whilst we sorted out the best price for her.
She did come back - sometimes people don't.
Huffing and puffing and wondering what time M&S shut.
She was fine and we looked after her well......but we were late away. But I always tell customers, when they ask what time we close, that we'll lock up when the last customer leaves.
The shop is looking really good just now - I think the game of musical chairs has almost stopped. Quite a few of us having set up new sections. Moving things about always makes for a fresh approach and a fresh way of seeing things for the customers. Pilgrims Antiques is alive and well.
Now, where is the Lemsip before I have an early night?
Please.....no!
