Sandy the tattooed pagan dropped in to see if our stick supply needs to be topped up. We haven’t sold one for at least a month.

Telephone call from the council telling me that Andrew won’t be coming in any more as he found the experience too exhausting. I was growing to like him.

Mr Deacon dropped in at 4.20 p.m. to order a copy of Jenny Uglow’s A Gambling Man, a copy of which I had, by chance, put on the shelves earlier in the day. He was as delighted as he allows himself to become in company.
