The boys are back in town

Work has resumed on replacing the sewers in Nelson Street. This part of the project requires sporadic road closures over a 14 month period. It's only month 7 now. CleanSteve has written about the road closures and sewer replacement programme in his blip of 10th October.

A lovely day, but apart from walking to and from work and popping out at lunchtime, I didn't really notice the weather. The window in the town surgery overlooks the waiting room.

Had to sort out some orders for cards etc when I got home. The front room looked like an explosion in Santa's grotto. Also busy investigating The Case of the Disappearing Clothes...

Last week, while I was away, Steve posted a pre-packed parcel of clothes to my mother. I'd spent a few days shopping for blouses for my mother, and had included a warm coat too, because I was told she needed clothes. A further package had been sent on Saturday, which my sister M told me had received today. She was delighted with the blouse.

This made me wonder about whether the 'big parcel' had arrived, so I tracked it, and found it had been delivered and signed for last Friday. Family members on our chat group wondered whether a neighbour might have accepted it for her, but then M found a box of coffee creams in the kitchen. We knew they'd been in the parcel. The clothes were nowhere to be seen. So, after M had sorted out supper for our mother, she had a look in a cupboard. The coat was eventually located, hanging up, and the three shirts surfaced too, folded up in a cupboard. M asked her about it, but our mother had absolutely no recollection of having received a parcel of clothing, nor of putting it away. I guess she won't be wearing the new threads any time soon.

And now I'm feeling rough. Had both vaccines on Saturday, so it had better not be flu or CoVid.
