Monday was a fine day to start with at our Bolehill Cottages (see here).  One arrival and one cleaner up.  Handyman up and furniture moved back into Dove.  Plenty for me to do as well.  Cottage arrived just after 3pm.  In the evening I went to Over Haddon for indoor bowls and Chris went to Bakewell for the Photographic Society meeting.  Tuesday saw another trip to Chesterfield for me.  First I went to Bookers for the bi monthly stock up then round to Screwfix to pick up some more bits for Chris.  Then round to B&Q for some curtain poles followed by the Range (similar to Dunelm) to see what they had.   Next into town and to Argos followed by a stroll around Dunelm to finish the day.  Just as well there was only me in the car as it was very full.  When I got home there was also an order from Terry’s Fabrics waiting for me but I didn’t get much time to sort everything out that evening by the time I caught up with emails and bookings.  Wednesday was a busy day with Dove.  I got the first of the curtains up and the cleaner was able to have a good go now that Chris and handyman have finished most jobs.  Also had a busy day for bookings, unusual for a Wednesday. In the evening we had our monthly WI committee meeting at our house.
