The next decade....what's in store?

Cookies and Quiche

In a 'by the way' conversation with a friend a couple days ago, she spoke about a fill-in domestic helper she had while her regular one was away and how good she was. As you may recall if you've been visiting here often enough, we had no choice but to ask ours not to come back after an incident of insubordination.

Since that time, mother aka 'Esme', has been doing the chores (mostly) even at her ripe 'old' age of 64.

Anyway, I got a bright idea, and my friend got in touch with this temporary helper and fortunately she did not have a regular job. So she came for an 'interview' yesterday morning.

During the chat, my niece was ever present. I must tell you that she and I have a strong affection for food in general, so when she heard the lady say that she bakes cookies and other things like quiche, my niece was as happy as a pig in swill. Well....perhaps that's shouldn't be the analogy I should use!

So the lady starts on Monday and quite coincidentally, she used to work at the hotel I worked at, but before I got there. She also knew Mummy who used to go with her Lions Club and run a health clinic in the lady's area. Small world eh.
