Nicky was back on duty again today – another beautiful sunny day marred only by her presence. She announced this morning that she will no longer participate in the videos we’ve been making for Facebook, in which she expounds her wisdom on various subjects, to the enormous amusement of the people who follow the shop’s page, because I changed one after we had agreed on a final cut. She has, however, agreed to do the filming and make me the victim.

I found a customer in the garden, gazing into the pond, despite the gate with a ‘Private’ sign that she would have had to open before she could get near to it.

A customer brought three books to the counter, pointed to two of them and said, ‘I’ll take those two; you’ll have to put that one back on the shelf.’ He subsequently asked if he could pay for the two books that he wanted with Tesco Clubcard points.
