HARD SLOG

Work has been fine since I got back from hols, but the fund raising is hard work.
To promote my Ceilidh I had the (not very bright as it turns out) idea of dropping flyers to all the local schools to put up on their staff noticeboards. So I set off today (Sunday) , with Dora in the car for car practice even though I doubt she needs it as she's just been to the south of France and back in a car, so I was amazed she even got in at all!
I couldn't even get to the front door of any schools I visited as they're all behind locked barriers with not a letterbox in sight.  What a sad society we live in that it's come to that!
Hamper donations (for a raffle prize at the Ceilidh) are slow too; most supermarkets (bar two) want the request in a letter which does seem out of proportion when all I'm really after is a packet or two of biscuits.  I might end up giving up and buying the rest of it myself at this rate!!  And I thought asking them for something small might be easier than asking for a larger donation!!
