The Chill Out Zone

[stevestrat]

Not having a great day, very dodgy guts for some reason Problem is I need to go out, food for the girls, milk, butter etc.

Looks like I've fallen foul of the dreaded Hermes Delivery (or not!) Service. I ordered from Ebay a new power supply for my dashcam - cigarette plug at one end, USB at the the other and a few metres of cable.

• Got an early email at 9.40am saying it would be delivered between 12.00 and 16.00;
• then, a second email at 11.52 saying delivery would be between 11.00 and 15.00.
• Then, at 12.46. got another email saying delivered at 12.42
• Ebay emailed me at 13.49 to say that Hermes had "dropped off" the package at 19.40 (yes - that's right, twenty to eight tonight!) - it's a wonderful thing is time travel!

Needless to say, no sign of parcel, no knocks on door, no ringing of doorbell; I've been in and out of the garage all morning, so would have seen any deliveries; wife has been in the living room all day, which overlooks the drive. We've searched everywhere - including wheelie bins, under the caravan, neighbours - NOWT. Had a text chat to Hermes - the main feedback from them seemed to be "driver says he's dropped it off at your address - so that's it".

Afternoon all.

Dry but cold with a biting wind.

Quizzie's has a great morning out with 3 of her four legged friends.

Wet, muddy and now snuggled up fast asleep - she's such a happy girl

And to think people used to complain about Royal Mail.

Hermes and Yodel leave a lot to be desired

Afternoon all.

Took a double take at your post Rod, thought you had said you had fallen foul of herpes

Been a murky old day, dry but grey and dank.

Fish & Chips for supper later tonight

Maybe your parcel will come at 7.40 Rod

Just got it - had been put through letterbox of number 74 (I'm 68). Now if it fitted through the letterbox of that house - why didn't he put it through the correct one - mine?

you don't look a day over 40 , Glad you've got your parcel Rod, I'd be needing a apple juice after that.

It’s tipping it down. Heating on, (sorry Rod), to dry out the washing.

Beef and ginger casserole done in the slow cooker. Cooked a few sprouts to go with it. And very tasty dinner it was. More for tomorrow.

Trying a drop of Bramble gin with tonic this evening, more gin than tonic.
