Of Returns and Mixed Weather

This morning I was on the phone to Lands End as I discovered I had ordered the wrong item by mistake (in fact 2 of them in different colours)..The girl at the call centre couldn't have been more helpful and between us we tracked down exactly what I wanted. I chose a black fleece, but didn't really want any of the other 3 colours; however the girl said that they did in fact have some in a creamy colour, which will be nice for summer (if we get summer). She said she had one in that colour and really liked it.

So I now have the two incorrect ones parcelled up for a full refund, and await the new ones.

She asked me what the weather was like here, so I opened the bedroom curtains and said it was wet and horrible and promptly closed the curtains again!

I should point out that my computer and so on are at one end of my bedroom, (making a bedroom/study) so I am up, showered and dressed, often for quite some time before I open the curtains!

Later, the best sister in the world came with her three legged friend, who had just been to the vet. We had a grand chat and a cup of tea (and water and biscuits for the dog) and then when I saw her out to the car, I discovered that, not only did the day look nice, but also it was really warm.

Summer again.

Mark it well in case this is the last day of summer!

The evening weather was lovely - warm, sunny and no wind. I went into the garden but didn't stay long as all the bitey things were out and about. All hail the Scottish midge!

If we are looking at the survival of the fittest, the midge will win hands down!

ah those lovely scottish midges.. how I remember their bite-y-ness.. they don't like me I am too cold skinned for them but it was hell for anyone nearby that was warmer... vicious little blighters... between them and the cockroach for survivalists..

Hopefully we will have some warmer weather soon
