An Afternoon At Boundary Mill

[poliphilo]

We spent yesterday afternoon at the Boundary Mill retail outlet in Colne. They've moved house since I was last there. The new premises is a vast, custom built warehouse with a porticoed frontage that makes it look like an art deco airport concourse. Ailz and Ruth went up and down the aisles- Ailz paddling herself along in her wheelchair- and I mostly sat in corners and did crossword puzzles.

There was this one clue I just couldn't get: "Number in theatre". I went to sleep last night still thinking about it. Then at 3.30 a.m I woke up- and there was the answer: "anaethetist".
