We had a big order from Peru this morning. That isn’t a sentence you get to use very often. Indeed, in 61 years I have never needed to combine those words in that order before. In fact, I haven’t needed to combine those words in any order in a sentence before.
Even at 61, life is full of novelty.
I wish I could say the same for the rest of my day, which consisted of parcels, eBay and coin sorting, as the temperature rose and the the office grew more stuffy.
It wasn’t all bad, as the boss treated us to ice creams in the middle of the afternoon. We’d barely finished them when one of the customers arrived, with a gift of ice cream.
The lightweights stammered and stuttered and mumbled. I merely smiled, said thank you and launched straight in with gusto.
Well, it seemed rude not to show enthusiasm.
Photos may follow, if I can conquer the increasing slowness of the machine. Meanwhile, I am off to make marmalade on toast for Julia. Those of you who recognise the link to Peru, should award themselves trivia points, and stop reading Paddington Bear books.
Wow. Peru. And ice cream of two different types. Yum. Sounds like a good day.
I’ve had worse days… 🙂
Ice cream twice in the same hot day is a blessing!
It was. 🙂
What a lovely thing for a customer to do!
He’s a fine man. He often brings something.
What sort of ice cream was it?
The first one was a Magnum with biscuit bits, which was nice but a bit sweet. The second was milk chocolate covered chocolate, not sure what make. It was very nice though, whatever it was.
Toasted sandwiches?
I was approximating. 🙂

Quite a good decision on the ice cream front.
I thought so. Bringers of comestibles must be encouraged, particularly cold comestibles on hot days.
What a day! Ice cream twice and an order from Peru.
It ended very well. 🙂
