Another post in my occasional series highlighting what a concierge does all week.
- Collect vases and have them filled with flowers
- Get shoes repaired and watch batteries fitted
- Grocery shopping
- Taking books, drinks and treats to a lady in hospital while her daughter is away
- Buying a caesar – style laurel wreath for a fancy dress outfit
- Tracking down a specific type of coffee
- Taking stuff to the tip, in order to make space for new shelves, which we then filled.
- Collecting a suit which had been specially ordered
- Gardening (in more than one home)
- Letters, phonescalls and database entry for various small companies
- research into the tax position of overseas home ownership.
It’s a funny old life – no chance of being bored!
