Watty's Awakening

If its any consolation Watty, my afternoon involved the world’s stinkiest baby nappy followed by the cat pooping on the welcome mat. Which is six inches from her litter box. 

And I am now at my job where I clean 9 toilets 😂

Blimey! How much damage was done to the delivery vehicle??! 

Keep going with the insurance company and the phone company. Sending you all power to your elbow! 😉😊

Sounds like you're wading through treacle with all these problems. Try and get one sorted and another pops up to occupy its space.  Grrrr.

Surprisingly little. It was a large round bale of hay that took the impact as it was over the side on a trailer  The chap was remarkably unconcerned and tried to say it was broken anyway and then wedged it with a piece of wood and said that would do. I did not agree it would "do"   and said I would chat to his boss.

What is it with poor drivers at the moment. A delivery driver knocked a wall down the other day in my street.

Under too much pressure to get deliveries done quickly

What a palaver you're having! I hope that's the last of the hassles and things start doing what they ought.

Thank you all. Despite everything I have woken very cheerful after a goodnights sleep, had a shower, clean clothes and the sun is shinning.  The horses are in the field, I am off to have my hair cut and then come back to work with tickets to a concert in the local church tonight with girl friends. Apparently the ticket price (£5) includes a glass of fizz and a mince pie.   

Looking for joys in my day has really helped my mood in the aftermath of PPH this year.  I don't do it everyday but often enough to realise  I am really very blessed.   

I'm going to make a big pot of the broccoli soup at some point today.  It froze fabulously. Whilst that was made as a way of using up the old broccoli in the bottom of the fridge, I loved it so much I've bought broccoli for it   Mental note to buy onions when out.

Glad to hear that you're finding many things to be grateful for.

Diversion Warning!!  Can I recommend finding a spot in your garden for some onion sets? We're not skilled gardeners but they don't take much effort, and are incredibly easy to grow. All the rain this year meant we got some whoppers. They are too big to use all of one in just one meal, so anything left gets put in a bag and frozen ready for those 'can't be arsed to chop an onion' meals.  Haven't bought onions since August and still have a few in the garage.  50 sets for about a fiver IIRC.

Reminds me, need to get some muck to spread on the veg area. You wont have this problem.

That is an excellent idea @Slinky  Happy to take MSE divisions. .  There is a weed infested spot behind where the horsebox is parked.  It has previously been a nursery for baby hedging a strawberry bed and a sweet pea patch.   I've been wondering what to do with it. Do onions need much sun?  The lorry would need to move if they do.
