Doing Charity

I'm in work today, but that by no means that I don't have plenty to do of a non-work nature.

So, whilst 9-1 is spent doing worky type things, 1-2 is devoted to running hither and fither around town to get a few things done - a much pleasanter experience when it isn't piddling with rain.

My first port of call is a small motorist shop in town which I'm hoping might supply some of the 15amp mini-blade fuses that Phil needs to replace the on that blew in his car. And, as luck has it they have a plentiful supply of them. Its at times like this I'm grateful that there are shop owners who do not shy in the might of the numerous superstore chains that spring up on the outskirts of towns depleting the number of shoppers who are willing to traverse the numerous problems and lack of ease that surround a shopping spree in any town centre, because for the most part these small shops are more successful at supplying things that are either not widely required by the masses or will often have a supply of something that you need somewhere in their stock rooms.

Anyway, back on track.

I then head off to scout around the charity shops in town to see if I can pick up any cheap glass beads, and again I'm lucky managing to get several necklaces made of quality glass beads at a price you'd expect in a charity shop. And by the time I've done that it's late enough that I need to be going back work to get on with the afternoon's chores.
