Geoffrey did some of the odd jobs that had been piling up during the previous six days

Genesis 2: 2 - "And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done."

Such is (or was) the Sabbath Day.

In the event Sue went to the Free Church at Swaffham Bulbeck, whilst Geoffrey did some of the odd jobs that had been piling up during the previous six days.

Geoffrey did NOT go canvassing. However, he did plot the next six days' electioneering. He can't be cured.
