Mother in hospital visited, father collected and sitting at the table with the rest of the family eating dinner.
I have to drive him home later, from Bradford to Ripon...
...then it'll be beer time.
Sorry to hear about the lens TT, hope it lands on Friday.

GAH !!
Not going to get my new lens now till Friday [ at the earliest ] I trust that CameraCentre Cardiff will be asking Royal Mail to refund the Special Delivery charge ! Ordered 23rd and promised for the 24th !!
Tracking says it's in the system so I'm going to have to stay in every day from Friday till it actually arrives !!
They normally will. But the refund will go to the shop so you might need to ask them. GAH !!

I saved a fortune during the ash cloud a few years back. Sent loads of bits special delivery and got a full refund for the lot!

Sorry about the lens TT. My grandson missed out on a Christmas present yesterday which his uncle had ordered online for him, due to a "technical error" at PostNL. Ah well, hopefully he'll get it tomorrow, but it is tough on a four year old.
Had a good day, fantastic weather, warm and sunny. We barbecued the turkey as son's oven isn't very big, had delicious fresh sushi, delivered yesterday afternoon, in the evening, and played Family Trivial Pursuit until 1.30 am. We switched to the kids questions half way through to try and speed things up, but found them harder than the adults ones!
I didn't have a drop to drink as I was driving back and forth between son and home to deal with the dog in-between times.
Oldest son arriving sometime today for a couple of days, so a nice piece of beef for dinner tonight.
Sorry to hear about your Mum HG. I hope things go well for her.
I hope none of you are water logged, or were left without power.

To my surprise I've been fine weatherwise - plenty of rain at times but no flooding.
Lovely quiet meal with neighbours and I've been out already this morning - getting stuff for Sunday's 'do' at Church.
Tomorrow I'll be staying put till the post has been [ mid afternoon here ] - then I might be able to escape

Nothing worse than waiting for the post unless you are waiting for a courier, to collect. Got the person who had arranged them to give them a call, then two vans arrived within 10mins of each other. Another wasted day, missed a friends funeral because of it.

I'm really not going to be a happy Bunny if my 50-200WR don't arrive tomorrow. And , being perfectly honest , I'm not 100% convinced it will .
It's been sitting in a Depot somewhere, possibly still in Wales .
Unfortunately I have to be in Edinburgh at 10am on Saturday and may well not get home till 4pm or later [ depending how things go there] so cometh Monday 30th I suspect I'll be heading for the Royal Mail Depot to collect a parcel that was promised for delivery on 24th.
I'm sure that when the Cardiff Shop asks Royal Fail for the Special Delivery Fee refunded they will be told the weather was an Act of God and therefore there's no refund.
BAH !!
