Wednesday was a busy day of sorts.  Had planned to go shopping with a friend but that fell through so as Chris needed some bits from Chesterfield and I needed to return something to Bookers we went there . One cottage out and one cleaner up to keep up with cleaning.  Headed to Chesterfield via Darley Dale where I dropped of the WI accounts for auditing (having got them signed by the President en route).  Bookers first then into town via BandQ.  A bit of lunch then a wander round the shops with a call into Dunelm for good measure on the way home.  In the evening I collected Joanna and we went to the village hall for the monthly WI meeting.  Our speaker was a gentleman from REMAP.  I cannot remember exactly what the initials stand for but my best interpretation would be Retired Engineers Make Anything Possible! Basically there is a network of retired people who adapt everyday items to make the lives of those with disabilities better.  These aren’t for commercial purposes, each case is dealt with on an individual basis but some devices have gone on to become more commercial.  It was a very interesting talk.   Thursday was forecast to be very wet at our peak district cottages but in the end although it stayed overcast the rain didn’t arrive until late afternoon.  Two cottages out and one cleaner up and most of the day was spent on catching up with work in the in tray.  Chris managed to blow the leaves out of the car park before the rains arrived but you wouldn’t have known by Friday morning!
