The saga of the mattress continued on Wednesday, after being
told on Tuesday that I would get a phone call from the dispatch department Wednesday
I waited with anticipation, by 4pm it hadn’t happened so I rang them again and
of course the answer was ‘the dispatch department closes at 4, you’ve missed
them by a couple of minutes’, a brief but lively exchange took place where I gave
them my opinion of their procedures. Thursday morning the phone call came
through, and after checking all the details with them they have assured me that
all the information will being given to the driver and delivery will be some
time after 9am on Tuesday, hmmm I hope so.
So once again I am passing the time with a few small jobs, I
finished the bits of painting in the bedroom and decorated the boat pole with
some blue bands and varnish, the idea is to protect it from the elements but in
doing so and making it look attractive it can become a target for the lowlifes
that are the scourge of modern life, it’s on the roof now and hopefully will
stay there.

Phil on fuel boat Hyperion came along as arranged Thursday afternoon;
good timing as I had just burnt the last of my waste wood and coal, the warmer
weather should be here soon so I just took another 2 bags of smokeless, 1
bottle of gas and a small diesel top up.
Yesterday I walked into the shopping precinct at Warners
End, about a mile away, a very useful little place with a small Tesco, Co-Op,
butchers and greengrocers as well as a few other shops including a DIY/Ironmongers
and a launderette which I didn’t know was there, I had used my washing machine
on Wednesday and would not have done so had I known.
Today (Sunday) I
watched the Formula 1, a bit of a dull race but a good result for Valteri Bottas,
1st ever Grand Prix win, and the championship is looking like it
could be a bit more exciting this year with Ferrari joining the Mercedes party
this year.
Let’s see if Tuesday brings joy or sadness, I hope it brings
a mattress!
