For once I've been getting post!!! I had post on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, admittedly the post on Thursday and Saturday was those little cards from the postman telling me that I was in and the pracel was too big for the letterbox so I'd have to collect it myself. But Yay!!!
So Friday, after picking up the only piece of regular mail (a postcard from Wordy) I set of for the sorting office to get the first parcel. When I was handed it I was most surprised, as it wasn't the nice boxy shape I was expecting, but much floppier.
It turned out to be the London Marathon fleece you get if you are unsucessful with your entry to the marathon, but bequeath your entry fee to charity. It's a very nice fleece, and I hope it won't get stolen like the kagool I got last year, but I'd still rather of been allowed to run the race.
Or more likely, limp with horrible blisters, the race.
Unfortunally, despite Nessa's best efforts my glasses are still broken. But I have gotten to the optician and they were very nice (though I didn't like the "testing the pressure in the eye by blowing air onto the eyeball machine") and with some help I picked some very nice glasses, before being told that I could have the really, really nice glasses that we didn't realise were also in the offer. Then realising that I couldn't reconize them but still think I picked the right ones costing me far too much at £213........
