Afternoon all. Some sun, some cloud and plenty of blustery wind. This Internet shopping is good until the Royal Mail get involved. Order something for a Christmas present, receive an e-mail to say the item has been despatched, follow it with tracking, it gets so far then nothing more happens. It has been sat in the local delivery centre for a week and shows no sign of moving. Have an on-line chat with the supplier who can only refund the cost and ask me if I want a replacement sending. Not the fault of the supplier, but Royal Mail. I know that some companies take out insurance against these losses, but for the customer it is a pain.
Just dropped the biggest hint for my birthday next week for Graham's book. Amazon are selling it so should be easy to get hold of a copy. I would like them to buy from local bookshop but Amazon make it so damn simple to buy from.
Morning all, a heavy frost overnight, so a spot of scrapping on the windscreen before a trip to the bakers. As it is one of those annual days I would prefer to forget, we have family coming for the day, so lots of preparation and food is at the top of the agenda. A quiet day with the slippers on in front of the fire is not an option.
Thank you all for your kind wishes. I had been given a rather special bottle of wine from a Chateau in the Rhone valley that had been saved for today. Rather better quality and flavour to the everyday tipple. Rather doubt that I will need to eat again until the 1st January when we are off to another feast.
Welcome back, if I haven't said so already elsewhere! Hopefully you're here to stay, numbers have been dwindling.
Morning all from a cold and wet island, although it looks like the wet part is from overnight rain. Up early enough to catch the last couple of overs of the NZ v WI T20I. A 47 run win for NZ is a relative rout.
Thanks Fez - good to see you too. Should be here to stay - lost my password and couldn't get back on. But have been mad busy at work as well and was working on stuff that, had i got into a drunken row with some on here and other pages and said too much, could have got me into all manner of trouble Hardly MI5 stuff but anything Brexit related was very sensitive then - not so much now.
