Planks and Failed Players

The wood came today. It is fine but the skirting board was no good, fortunately the guy agreed to take it back. It consisted of huge solid planks of wood with a rounded pencil edging on one side. About 6" wide! The edging with the previous wood was very small, so will have to find something similar which will avoid having to have all the present skirting boards removed and just fit neatly against them.

Then Romy rang to say that the theatre people, around whose presence we had arranged the whole day tomorrow - lunch, a raffle, tea and afternoon entertainment - had cancelled because one of them was ill! Suggested various ideas for the morning, but then the theatre people got back to her and said they could provide a magician instead. Providing the magician is not too awful I suspect it might be more entertaining than the original act, based as it was on safety in the home etc. Just watched a film on TV about an old lady whose son stuck her in a home after her appalling husband died, and she led a revolt and turned the tables on them all, very heartwarming if a tad fromageux. Later read a bad review of it saying it was incompetent etc. Oh well what would I know, compared with a seasoned film reviewer?
