Poirot's secretary, Miss Felicity Lemon, has few human weaknesses. The only mistakes she makes within the series are a typing error during the events of Hickory Dickory Dock and the mistake in mailing an electricity bill, although she was worried about strange events surrounding her sister at the time. Poirot described her as being "'Unbelievably ugly and incredibly efficient. Anything that she mentioned as worth consideration usually was worth consideration'.

She grew up in Croydon Heath. (The Mystery of the Spanish Chest) Miss Lemon has a sister, Mrs Hubbard, who is a warden at a student hostel on Hickory Road. (Hickory Dickory Dock)

She is an expert on nearly everything and plans to create the perfect filing system. She also worked for the government agent-turned-philanthropist, Parker Pyne. Whether this was during one of Poirot’s numerous retirements or before she entered his employment is unknown.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Good morning, Trissie and thank you for starting us off. I've always had a soft spot for Miss Lemon in the ITV series, with her amazing wardrobe. She's also a cat lover, as in her appearance in The Big Four ( when Hercule Poirot fakes his own death), she has a cat called Marina.

WTG with all your errands, Dogged

I need to be up and out early again, as I have an 8.30 hygienist appointment, followed by a hair cut. At least I have 30 minutes between the two, so plenty of time to walk to the hairdresser's within feeling rushed. Currently we have the very edge of storm gorretii (what is this current obsession with naming storms? ) so it's wet and windy out, but nothing as bad as in some other parts of the country, and, best of all, no ice!

Today's list:
DH WFH
8.30 am hygienist appointment - me
9.45 am hair appointment -me
Cuddles on the bed with Matilda, Jude and Freddie
QT
Physio exercises WIP
Up, shower, personal care and dress
All cats fed
Take Freddie out? ( If he wants to go!)
Breakfast and meds /supplements -me
Rubbish down to bins
Go for my walk
Run hoover round downstairs?
Quick dust sitting room?
Garden time - can I feed pots? A little deadheading?
Lunch
Fold laundry and PA
Clean sheets and towels out of the airing cupboard
Does DH have choir practice?
Cats' supper
Our supper
Bed at a reasonable time!

kittykatt, I admire Miss Lemon for not strangling Hercule Poirot!

So, Friday at last! I was able to push my alarm to 6am, which is a luxury See? I can start with something happy! And of course I am thrilled to work from home today, and I will finally get my hands on some breadbaking which has not happened since probably November (the breadstarter did survive, though probably barely And it's snowing, which a) is pretty and b) makes me appreciate not having to drive anywhere today even more!
