There were a few library drop offs before and after a spell of isolation.

A few weeks ago, Mrs M was very happy with the varied collection of audiobooks and was pleased with the warm weather, although it did mean she had to get the fan out to stay cool in the evenings. We chatted about some authors she liked and have me a list for future reference. We also chatted about family in Wales, growing flowers and veg in the garden, and the length of time she had lived in the bungalow in which she lives now.

This week, we had a bumper discussion about the Olympics that were on recently, meaning she hadn't quite gone through all of the audio books. The last one she found very intriguing with a murder mystery vibe to it. I managed to find some audiobooks from the authors she mentioned to keep her going until the next visit.

There was also a new client, Mr D, who is away at the moment but has an interest in Science and Nature so looking forward to finding a few more different types of books in the future.
