They arrived at 7.45, offloaded and have now gone.
A lot more to the delivery than I expected, might possibly have got AtW's sofa as well.

Morning all
CBS, etc.
I ordered some things on Friday and at checkout I was offered EXPRESS DELIVERY for £45 or Standard Delivery for £40. The earliest date for EXPRESS was today. The earliest date for Standard was ... today. I suspect the extra £5 was for the bold font.
Anyway, standard delivery and today was what I chose.
On Saturday I had a text message saying delivery would be today between 7am and 11pm.
On Sunday I got a text message saying delivery would be today between 7am and 7pm.
Yesterday I got a text message saying delivery would be today between 7am and 1pm, and that I would receive a more accurate time today.
6.45am: Your delivery will be between 7am and 11am. (this curtailed the walk, I clicked on the link in the test which just said the same time)
7:05am: Your delivery will be with you shortly (clicked on the link, showed the driver about half an hour away, if he was coming straight here)
7:10am: Your driver has 2 more stops before you
7:15am: Driver phones to say they will be here before 8am

Patchy cloudy out, but still quite sunny. Apparently it'll get clearer during the day then cloud over some more towards evening, a reversal of last week's procedure. It's already 15°C and heading for 23°, with the barometers up a little at 1004/1011mB

Old Police Interceptors was tonight's only viewing, as usual
And later, I read some more of Sam Pepys' account of 1667
Goodnight all

Nice evening out after a mostly cloudy day

Lunch: sausages in finger rolls
The formerly ailing freezer continues to function impeccably. No idea what's going on with it

Lunch was a jacket potato with lashings of butter and a sprinkling of a sharp cheddar.

Morning all
Dull and overcast. Humid. Currently 20 degrees with a high of 24 expected. Barometer up to 1013 mBar.
I received a call about a job this morning. Client in Clapham, outside IR35, 100% on site. Document digitisation project, experience of rollouts of such things with DocuSign needed. £150 a day. That's less than the very first rate I was on when I started in 2005. I doubt I'll be hearing back on that one.
Have been on hold with BT for nearly 45 minutes while I wait for another person to tell me that the service cease that should have happened a month ago isn't closed and it's because of a "system issue" and they'll put in a request and that request will take 24 hours to complete, so call back tomorrow.

Feeling cr*p after another grotty night's sleep. Was no worse than previous but I felt ok yesterday. Anyway, loony lady 3 later, after exciting trip to the dump with bits of wood and other junk I've been piling up in me shed for 40 years.

Morning.
Monday apparently.
Grey.
Dark.
Dank.
Drizzly.
Sunless.
Cool in here at 20.7 deg, 21 deg in the kitchen, 19.8 deg in the leanto.
1007.5 mBar, 29.751 in Hg, 755.687 Torr, 14.61 psi, (unchanged), 71% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile the 24th of October 2019 page was unchanged from yesterday.
Turning over in bed caused much angst in the back, though higher up than lumbago.
It's been like this since the last meeting with the chinese plague, for which much thanks.
Shopping trips to Morrisons (dry) and Tesco (not dry but drizzly on the way back) done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.
Raining now.
Lunch: scrambled egg etc.
Entertainment: Y&Y waffling about tulipe.
TWATO waffling about tulipe. <click>
The Mentalist S1 E21, E22. Well it filled a drizzly grey hour and 20 minutes.
Tea: chilli (tinned) con carne etc. Tasted rather good this time. Must be better quality cow's rectums in that tin.
Entertainment: PM. <click>
The Mentalist S1 E23. EOS1. Red John gets tricky.
Abandoned Engineering. Probably zero engineering content judging by experience: ruin of Irish mansion burned down by the IRA in the 20s, some septic mansion built by the 2nd son of the chap who bought Coke so fascinating I dozed off, Polish castle purportedly housing Nazi gold in some sort of railway tunnel. Some other bollox insufficiently inneresting to remember.
No Skinwalker Ranch, but the Lost Apollo Tapes instead: more inneresting than the crap above.
And very probably The Mentalist S2 E1, E2 will fit in there somewhere, wherein Jane is removed from the Red John investigation.

Cloudy start out but with gas where the sun is getting through, at least partially, from time to time. It's getting warmer, being 16°C with a predicted high of 22°. The barometers are much the same at 1000/1008mB
