Planetary alignment? :D

We'd run out of boxes Tuesday... Phil ordered some more (no idea why he waited till Tuesday morning rather than calling on Monday afternoon when we could see we were going to run out... I said "why don't you order them now"... he replied "no point, it's only next day delivery before midday"). They are usually delivered first thing in the morning - often by 8.30, so got myself in early (Phil was driving the van to meet a supplier of a new wine, a Ribeira del Duero, and pick up 54 boxes of it...)... only the boxes didn't arrive... a phonecall to the truck company revealed they wouldn't be with me till after lunch... So basically twiddled my thumbs finding things to do... then mad rush once they arrived to get most urgent orders out by 3.30pm courier pickup time... Oh well. Then unloaded the 54 boxes of Ribeira del Duero off Phil's van. Then checked courier's "orders overview" - with 150 boxes going out Mon/Tues bound to be some issues... there were, of course... Then Phil went home and I sat making boxes to avoid rush Thursday morning, listening to "The rest is football" podcast with Lineker, Shearer and Micah Richards... particularly enjoyed an episode where (one of my childhood heroes) Peter Beardsley guested... (sorry to non footy fans!). Then home for lovely Mindful Chef chicken dish and another comfortable 2-0 win for Liverpool - Arsenal drawing 0-0 so now 13 points clear... That'll do! Just the small matter of Paris St Germain in the Champions League next, as Liverpool have the weekend off - think I need to follow suit...!
When courier came in the afternoon it was lovely and sunny, but the rain pummelling the metal roof told me the weather had changed, and blip was the view when I emerged at "home-time"...
