Well the staff at MEC got a laugh this morning. First the person who I asked, “can I just put these on in a change room and pay at the cash?” And then the 2 staff at the cash when I put the tag on the counter and said, “I’m wearing these.” And then explained

Three Poiriers. Three banks. A whole lot sorted out. We all needed naps afterwards. But we’re making headway on dad’s estate and setting us up well for the future.

Had an icy fruity treat in the sunnyshines this afternoon. Mmmmmm.
