DIY - Fixing curtain poles

Up early this morning to put out the rubbish and recycling to find the weather was heavy fog and drizzle. After making a cup of tea for us both, I dozed off again for half an hour or so.  Sara went off for a long walk with Jane from church leaving me to put up a curtain pole in her study - a task which was remarkably (and I mean it was remarkable!) easy.  The holes were drilled to perfection and the rawlplugs fitted properly.  Even the screws provided were of a good durable type.  I met Sara for lunch at the Lent Lunch at the Methodist Hall - leek and potato soup, bread, cake and a cup of coffee.  This afternoon meant another trip to Amesbury to take the two remaining old cupboards from the garage down to the recycling centre and then on to Andover to bank a cheque for Complex, and shop and collect a few items from Asda.  Arriving back home I had a cup of tea with Sara before taking Mary out again on another bike ride - shorter than yesterday - just a 5 mile circuit in Bentley Woods.  Another good House Group meeting tonight -continuing the theme of Finding a Voice based on the film - the King's Speech.  James stayed behind for a cup of tea and a natter explaining his idea for a prayer walk with dogs around the village.  A big day for Sara tomorrow as the Winterslow Calendar Girls will be handing over a cheque for more than £17,000 to the Stars Appeal Breast Cancer Fund with the TV, Radio, Press and local MP and dignitaries present.
