When I can home from dropping off samples at the surgery I found my door lying open. Fortunately I knew who had done this. B——y courier who never pulls the door properly shut after depositing a parcel. I can never catch her to have a word and don’t want to put a large notice up asking to close it properly as this advertises that the door is rarely locked.
It was an Altura jacket I ordered which was admittedly pretty cheap but not a patch on the last one I still have. Flimsy feel and size is smaller tho’ marked the same size as before. Obviously been cutting corners in production and different styling as two side pockets which is good and no back pocket which on a trike is useless anyway. Might as well keep it for mid season use and the old one will have to do winter duty.

Could you put the poster facing towards the door so it's not readable from the road but they'll see it when they turn around?
 
I am now the proud owner of two large shopping bags and a wicker basket full of walnuts. Probably 20-odd kilos or so, but about 3/4 of them still have the husk attached. Other people also pick them, so it's fastest finger. One of the trees is in an area popular with dog walkers - wouldn't dare pick up the fallen nuts there, on account of the dog poo on the ground.

Bitsas supper here tonight. Cottage pie, fried potatoes and spicy beans. All the leftovers now eaten. Oh, and I also had a big bowl of leek & potato soup.

Poor night's sleep last night as I woke up at about 4am due to being cold - I still have the bedroom window slightly open for ventilation added to a very cold night and me still using the summer weight duvet. Took a while to get back to sleep, although this wasn't a problem later on when the alarm clock went off.

Lovely clear morning and kept reasonably busy at work, only for a fairly havy rain shower to come over as I was leaving for the day. It's a good job I keep a spare set of waterproofs in the locker.

Just one more working day left in the month.
