Not so much a day off

by John Passmore

No pressure on the day off but I happened to see a solar heating van in the car park when I took Theo to the sailing club. Couldn’t waste the opportunity so I sent them a text – no reply so far.

But then I had to go and get some more bread for the new guests and on the way back I passed a van with “Computer Recycling” all down the side. There was no mobile number but since they were in the business, I thought I might ring them anyway – after all it’s worked before.

But then, getting back on the bike, I realised there was someone in the driving seat – who had been watching me quizzically all along.
So I went round and he wound down the window:

“Hi,” I said. “I was writing down the phone number because I’m in the technology business too. Tell me, would you be interested in an extra income alongside the one you get already?”

And now he’s looking at the website.

And yes, number two son had a good day on the water – apparently they were leading the fleet at one point and that’s never happened before.
