Helpful, right? Well, no. I continually complain about how bad these messages are, since
they don't give any details. This one seems better: it has now been posted.
But that's behind the times. It was “delivered” (waiting for pickup in “NAPOLEON” since yesterday
morning). Bravo, eBay!
In town for a haircut, then the most expensive fill of petrol I have ever had, at least in
Australia: $135.15. And that was the cheapest I could find. Elsewhere I could have paid
$15 more. Thank you, Donald
Trump, not just for that.
To the Fruit Shack, as
usual. I'm finding fewer and fewer things that they have in stock. Of the 12 items I had
on my list, I found only two. Are things getting worse, or is it just random fluctuation?
Leaving the parking space outside the Fruit Shack, I heard a bang.
I had backed into a car stopped behind me.
How could that happen? Of course I had looked behind me before backing out. The driver of
the car was very apologetic, though clearly it was my
fault. My guess is that she must have driven behind my car when I had started to back out,
and that she had to stop because somebody was in front of her. It still wouldn't have
happened if I had kept looking the whole time. It didn't help that the car is silver grey
and blended into the background.
And try as I might, I can't get them to contact me by SMS, as promised. They have my phone number on
record (and send me repeated irritating 2FAs), but they choose another one to inform me, and I can't find a way round it.
Never mind, once again I was able to pick up the drinks without any kind of identification.
The correct way is the road to the right containing the point marked “Delecombe Town C”.
This page contains (roughly) yesterday's and today's entries. I have
a horror of reverse chronological documents, so
all my diary entries are chronological. This page normally contains the last two days,
but if I fall behind it may contain more. You can find older entries in
the archive. Note that I often update a diary entry
a day or two after I write it.
Do you have a comment about something I have written? This is a diary, not a
“blog”, and there is
deliberately no provision for directly adding comments. It's also not a vehicle
for third-party content. But I welcome feedback and try to
reply to all messages I receive. See the diary overview for more details. If you do
send me a message relating to something I have written, please indicate
whether you'd prefer me not to mention your name. Otherwise
I'll assume that it's OK to do so.
