Morning all.
It's trying to get light, but it will be another grey day here.
Sainsbury's are delivering the weekly goodies between 9 and 10.
MrsP is off to work, she has been asked to do a couple of shifts this week to cover the nurse who took over from her when she "retired ", she is doing a couple more next week also.

I am here. Another sleepless night for me.
11 deg abs dry at the moment but we had a bit of rain overnight.

Stay safe peeps

We currently have rain and wind. The rain is due to go off soon but the wind is to get even stronger. At least it’s mild.

Thanks for mentioning that bird I.D. app Mo. I've downloaded it and it's excellent 👍

I was quite impressed too. I like the way it highlights birds you heard previously in yellow every time it hears them again so it’s good for learning the calls.

Another Q day planned after 4 chuffing hours or ironing yesterday.

Will walk Mini D to school, Shark the carpets, dust, do an hour music practice, then I've some old clothes to take to the clothes bank.

Tell me how this works.
I ordered a hydraulic motorcycle work bench - £650 off Ebay from a reputable company - with a voucher for an extra £75 off.
It's a very heavy item and would be delivered by 'other courier' today or tomorrow.
Was told it needed signing for, in case of damage, and would be a kerbside delivery only.
So.....we went out yesterday lunchtime, instead of going today, came back full of cider and pasties and had an afternoon nap, didn't check around the grounds when we got back.
Woke up this morning, checked our cctv and there was a large wooden box by the side of my caravan.
It had been delivered yesterday at 13.30.
No notification, email or text. Still showing 'out for delivery Wed or Thursday' on Ebay.
Mixed feelings - glad that they delivered it up our driveway but miffed that I'd cancelled today's trip to meet our mates.

Hi Mo good idea, but I have not had any heating on for the last 3 years now, good job I live in the sunny south.

You need to keep your dangly bits warm though

Morning all.
Welshie.....its weird how sleep patterns vary so much. After 2 bad nights I had a good one last night and slept till 7.
Early rain was forecast but not had any yet.

I would flag it with the company that you bought it from

after all - it is was done as needing to be signed for then if you said it had never been delivered and wanted a refund then they would be screwed!

Sounds like a delivery driver not wanting to waste time!

at least the company need to know!

My lost parcel is coming 17 more stops before he gets here

 

[Dirk]

Right. I've managed to move the work table into my workshop, unpack it and get it assembled. It ain't no lightweight!

 

[Drago]

More tidying done. Almost there.
