Well the good news be that Dad his angiogram today, he had two stents put in, and should be able to go home from the hospital tomorrow. Apparently he is much happier now that he can go home, though of course he'll still have take it especially easy for the next few weeks until he's fully recovered. It seems at least though that the ordeal is just about over and the wheels can slowly start turning again. I did have a flicker of worry whilst I was at the shop today and the phone in my pocket kept vibrating away to itself whilst I was busy with the customers but all the news seems positive so that be good and I can breathe a little more easily now.

The shop itself was particularly busy today. Or perhaps it just seemed it on account of it being particularly hot. We also had the fun of having police in to deal with possible shoplifting. Security is something of a difficult thing for a little charity shop without cameras and only little me on the shop floor most of the time. We know things get taken but it's impossible to watch everywhere at once. Today though, whilst manager was downstairs with me, we were helped by another customer who informed us someone had gone out with stuff under their arm, which neither of us had seen. Anyways, the person involved apparently claimed they were things they'd bought in other shops but couldn't seem to show any receipts for them. Still, we couldn't easily prove otherwise either. Either way, we'll be trying to have two people on the shop floor whenever possible. Depressing as it is for people to steal from charity shops of all places we are at the same time rather soft targets.

Despite that though the takings for today were pretty good. In fact they were pretty excellent owing someone coming in during the morning to donate a cheque for £700! Hee, so we pretty well on course to make our sales target for the week I would think. Shame it didn't happen whilst I was there, the most anyone has donated in one go to me has been about £10. So overall I guess we can probably chalk this one up as a reasonable day for the British Heart Foundation. Although, along with perhaps a little better security, it would have been nice if they might have put a bit thought into better air conditioning when they did the refurbishments last year! I was a somewhat sweaty sticky creature by the end of the day. I'd vaguely hoped that their might be some pretty thunderstorms to freshen the atmosphere but in the end just had to content myself with taking a torch into the shower and making rumbling noises to myself. (no, not really).

Anyways, all this hot is not really creating an atmosphere particularly conducive to my doing things. Hopefully though now that my list of worries has been somewhat reduced I may be able to make some acheivements. Can't say I'm feeling hugely positive just yet, a good proportion of me seems to have liquefied, but we shall see, good things have to happen sometime don't they? Well, no they don't have to, but it helps to keep saying so. At least some amount of rains is forecast for these parts on Thursday I think so maybe I shall yet live! Hopes everyone else be managing with their worlds. Happy July. *squishes*
