I bought an item on Ebay. Last Friday I got an email from Royal Mail to say it would be delivered today between 9.36am and 1.36pm. This morning I had a call from the opticians to let me know my glasses were ready to be picked up, so I made an appointment for 3pm (everything has to be by appointment because of Covid).

1.36 came and went - still no delivery. I waited in until 2.20 and then had to leave or I wouldn't have made my appointment.
Came home and still no delivery, so I went online and tracked the item, only to find it's not even out for delivery yet! Now I don't know WHEN it will get here.

Pick up few bits in town Do they have a litter problem?

Community Service?

That's it . There's probably a nest in the church .

It's a council church, bats in the belfry.
There was a pair of nesting owls in there, eggs an all. They removed the eggs from the owls.

A classic example of how "Efficient" isn't the same as "Effective".

I'd have jacked the cars up to allow the painting to be done.

The SPF 50 applied all over?

Mostly.
I'll be ok. It doesn't hurt. Just feels warm and looks awful.

That's the main thing.

Lovely dogs! They don't look like they are ready to leave that sofa any time soon...

You are right, it's just an old sofa we put outside in a tiny courtyard which is the dogs domain . Only one thing is certain to stir them into action and that is the offer of a biscuit Oh and of course if a cat was foolish enough to stray into their territory !

Were they taken into care ?

They never said. The owls uses to fly out the east side of the tower.

Knowing the admirable skills possessed by those here, I thought I'd ask.

We're in the process of buying a border collie bitch, and need a name of one, or at most two syllables. Pat is out, since there would be confusion between Mrs MY and the dog. I'm not allowed Freda, Fang or Spot, a sister is being named Flora, so that's out. Mrs MY is suggesting Cara or Bess.
