Bank Holiday + Bad Weather + Internet =














... like this - but twice as full  and using an elastic band as 'buckle extender' !!


 ...a heavy day at the mail-face (or should I say parcel-face).  The long weekend online shopping frenzy finally hit us today ... bulging sacks (oo-err) being the norm - and naturally loads of peeps not in !  Never mind - we'll soon be able to "officially" leave packets with neighbours (see here), unless of course you "opt out" of the scheme.  Personally I reckon this idea is "back to front" - it would make more sense for people to "opt in" to the scheme - but hey what do I know ...

Just spent a happy hour stripping wallpaper in preparation for some plastering work that's to be done - "farewell old woodchip - you held the wall together so well" - proper Victorian stuff with horsehair and all that stuff.  Waiting for car to arrive so I can go out and buy exotic stuff like PVA, Bonding and Multi-Finish - happy days ...

Surely the intention behind leaving post with neighbours (how secure is that!) is to allow the reduction / closure of sorting offices.
