A text message from R in Lanzarote at 8am to say that there was going to be a delivery to her house this morning. She was asking me to go round to the house by 10am to receive it. 

A bit of a mad panic to get out of bed and organised to get there. I took my Christmas cards to write. Hobbs joined me for a while to watch. 

By 12.30 there wasn’t any sight of a delivery so I sent R a text asking if there was an update. Yes apparently it was at the side of the house behind the dustbin!!! 

I wasn’t exactly amused as there had been no effort to ring the doorbell. Even Olive didn’t bark when it was left. A wasted morning in a cold house as the heating doesn’t come on at that time of day. 

I didn’t get many of the cards done, I’m not yet switched on this year.
