Wet ride this morning, to see what post box covers I could. Found five in the end.

You didn't get this one I bet

My working day and week is completed

Lesson to self today: someone who says they've done something, and states they absolutely have, may not have actually done it because they didn't understand or think through the task.

Nearly got ourselves into a bit of family legal bother, but it's now done.

On another note I spent my morning climbing around in collapsing attics in the hunt for paperwork and items in preparation for a legal meeting tomorrow whilst said person above went off and did the task they were supposed to do.

I once bought 12 bottles of super glue, when I intended to only buy 2. I'm working my way thru them, but I'd rather extra wine 👍

I suppose you're stuck with them, are you? 🤔

Made it into town then wondered round a couple of shop trying to remember what I went in for thanks to chemo brain fog. Turned out ok in the end got what I wanted. Cleared head nicely for rest of the day , evening walk all done now time for some food.

Today, I've delivered 6 Christmas cards to assorted neighbours & 1 condolences card to our next door neighbours son whose mother passed away last Saturday.

Meanwhile, I appear to have bought 18 bottles of wine this morning. The Christmas juggernaut is slowly getting under way.

How many are left now it's a few hours later?

Guess it depends on the parakeets who may well fancy a bottle or two.

That's nothing...................The parts guy at Bond St Saab ordered a rear bumper for a 93 when the bodyshop manager said order 2 then we will have 1 in stock" so the parts guy duly changed the order or so he thought. A week later 21 rear bumpers duly arrived, he never lived it down.

Suppose I was one the fortunate ones, Evri left a parcel correctly on my doorstep
Of course no ringing of the bell or knocking on the door. Was hoping the item had a remote control but not. A temote controlled switch set ordered on eBay from China. Wonders whether it will be this year or next when it arrives.

I'm sure someone will take them off your hands.

Evening.
The weather peeps got today's forecast totally wrong. Sunshine , warm and dry turned out to be grey cold and damp! My friend brought his car round for me to repair his front bumper. At 10 o'clock clock I started work on it, I could see some blue sky to the west and assumed that it would gradually work it's way towards me. The air was damp but I could get on with wet flatting it.at 11 o' clock and looked at the blue sky. It hadn't moved an inch. By 12 o ' clock the sun burst through briefly, still no blue sky. By 3 o' clock I was spraying some lacquer on and it had started to bloom, luckily it cleared. At 3. 30 the sun came out but there was still a cold wind. By 4 I had finished polishing the paintwork and the sun was starting to go down. We now have a clear sky and it is getting cold again.
Last night my friend had said that he would bring his car round as it was going to be sunny!
