1What two interruptions did the writer have?
2After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to the shops.
3It was still early when I returned home.
4The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet.
5So I decided to make some meat pies.
6In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour
7and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry.
8At exactly that moment, the telephone rang.
9Nothing could have been more annoying.
10I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Helen Bates.
11It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later.
12At last I hung up the receiver.
13What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the doorknobs.
14I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the doorbell rang loud enough to wake the dead.
15This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter!
