Good to catch up with Mr T again this afternoon and I'd barely sat down before he updated me on his week, suffice to say it seemed we had a lot to catch up on...his list was a combination of the usual suspects from Tesco and Lidl, although we both feared that Sardines in Olive Oil would remain elusive (they were), and he asked that I also pick up some multivitamins for him too from H&B.

Once I was back with all the treasure, we turned our attention to hanging the sets of curtains that I'd collected for him a few weeks ago. Having realised they were much longer than his existing set (and so would drape over the radiators blocking the heat), we agreed that trimming them was the way to go - so with tape measure, scissors and the existing curtains to use as a template, I applied my amateur tailoring skills to get them to approximately the right length, and then rehung them using the existing curtain wire.

Mr T was delighted with the job, and I was rewarded not only with a cup of tea but a bag of carrots and potatoes too...Good Fridays don't get much better than this.

Mrs S was strangely apologetic about the shortness (?) of this week's dictated list, albeit it did contain all the usual suspects, and just as I was leaving she said "tomatoes, put them on the list too", so still a few aisles to explore to get what she needed for another week. The highlight though was her inclusion of a jar of both runny and set honey, which neatly set up this week's report title...if only she'd added a swede to the list it would have been perfect...

Mr J was keen for me to get various pictures framed and hung before he would tell me what the "other big task" involved. As it was the picture framing took up a fair bit of time, as the pictures needed trimming to fit the frames, and one of the frames needed its picture swapping with another. Fortunately Mr J was very clear in all his instructions, so my art work on his living room floor proved successful, as was the hanging of the set of pictures of his favourite guitarists.

Just as I was investigating the flat pack part of the task at the end, the doorbell rang as he was due to receive a delivery of a new armchair - as my time was up, and there wasn't going to be sufficient space for me to build the flat pack desk with the chair men there, I left Mr J in the company of his latest arrivals and assured him a new mission would be set up to complete the building of his desk.
