Shop Opening or New Business Launch

My father called leaving a Dubai salary madness, in those words, in front of my mother. A week before the invitation went out I sent him the opening window and the verse it came from. He did not reply to the message. He came at ten in the morning and stayed till closing.

Third generation in this line. The new counter opened on a day worked out the way my father had it worked out, only now it takes me five minutes on the phone.

Fifteen years of making operating lists makes me the last person who should need help with a calendar, and I am aware of how that sounds. My own clinic's first day was the one date I did not want to fix on my own, and of the three mornings that came back I took the second.

My grandson took a shop on Narborough Road and was going to open on the Monday, only because the lease started then. I paid for the timing myself, out of my pension, and did not tell him that part. He waited two days for me. He humoured his grandmother and I will take that.
