It was one of those days on Tuesday when anything that can go wrong will. After we’d heard about Megan, which made my Mistress feel very sad, it just carried on going downhill. I’ve told you that in order to research her next book she has taken all her courage in both hands and booked herself on a flight to America. Well, the main place she needs to go to is a museum in a small town in Kansas. She emailed them to explain what she was doing and got no reply, so she sent another email. This one did get a reply but it was to say that the curator has got a job with another museum and will leave just over a week before my Mistress gets there. At this stage they have no idea what will happen for cover, but they will try to get volunteers to open the museum up for her, there is however no guarantee. This could be the most unsuccessful research trip ever. If all she can see is the outside of the museum it will all be rather a wasted trip. If it weren’t for the museum she would be going somewhere different – probably not even in America at all. Let’s just hope it doesn’t turn out like that. Then the next thing to go wrong was the oven. The repair man had been out to replace some parts earlier in the afternoon. I’d had a good sniff and he certainly seemed ok. However, when my Mistress turned it on later to get warm to cook tea, as it warmed up, the door popped open and even I know that shouldn’t happen. She closed it, but it kept popping open. In the end she turned it off and moved to plan B. She has now called the oven engineers to come back to fix it, but they can’t come for another week!
At least Megan will always be our ‘pin-up’ girl as she is the picture on the club logo.
