‘That’s okay dear, we can use one of Ron’s (her husband) card tables.’
‘Oh I don’t want to deprive you of a week of cards’ ‘Oh no, not cards dear, Ron’s a MAGICIAN’

So she set up the jewellery on her magic tables. Not one but two and filled to the brim with all sorts of stuff. As she’s setting up my other jeweller turns up for her invigilation shift and promptly throws a ‘hissy’ fit about there being two jewellers in the same room. I thought she was joking at first. But she wasn’t. She threatened to leave and then insisted the other jeweller do half her shift. So one jeweller did 11 to 2 and the other 2 to 5.

Next year NO JEWELLERS.

Saturday morning was quiet (if you don’t count the Jewellers) and at lunch time I had to leave to go up to London to walk the Moonwalk half marathon. So I left the house in the capable hands of Bill who as I left was having his ear bent on the history of amulet purses by jeweller 2.
