Good afternoon. We have either Austen or Boelo visiting today. My preferred option for the rest of the day? Tea, crumpets and a blazing fire. Instead we're off to Ewood to watch Rovers v Wrexham. Yeah!!
The Guardian delivery. I haven't bored you with this ongoing saga......yet. Short version. Twelve months ago the last of three local newsagents closed and a company called NewsTeam took over deliveries. We pay the Guardian, NewsTeam deliver. In theory. The creativity of the delivery guys is amazing.
This morning I eventually found our paper in the redundant coal chute for our neighbour's coal hole!!!! Next door but one the paper was successfully delivered to the back gate. That's dropped on the ground beside the back gate. We have rain and 20mph winds gusting to 40.
For both houses the letterbox is another 10 feet to walk.
Our delivery has been late (3.00pmish), failed or sodden on five of the last six occasions. 😪
