Wash Doctors are back. An operative comes to clean the interior and/or exterior of your car using minimum water. Minimum charge is £18 which sounds like good money for the washer but …
My Wash Dr drove from East London, almost two hours round trip, and consequently arrived 1 1/2 hours late. The WD app asks what you are going to do with the time you are saving not washing your car.
I took Bertie to Margravine Cemetery. The fledge-watch continues; a low budget film was being shot; and a white van was parked on the path in the middle of the cemetery.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission had sent a stone mason to alter an inscription on the wall commemorating the Fallen in two World Wars. Graves are inspected every two to four years and if necessary cleaned, repaired or straightened. He approved of the new mowing policy in the cemetery and deplored the absence of swallows, swifts and house martens this year. He ascribes it to netting in Mediterranean countries along their migratory route.
Yesterday was a landmark in the history of the cemetery. 2019 marks the 150th anniversary of the opening of the cemetery and a picnic was held to mark the occasion. I had another engagement.
