Deliveries

It's good to have friendly neighbours. Our next door neigbour has retired. It's handy for when we have deliveries. We all order stuff off the internet. When my son was at college and working part time he was often home during the day but now he's starting work full time he can't guarantee that he'll be there for deliveries. We can now have things left at our neighbours house. We could ask for things to be left at my mum's house but she lives miles away. My son could probably get things delivered to where he works.

Bus

I thought I'd missed my bus this morning. It is a 20 minute walk and a bus goes past every 30 minutes. But it is the school holidays. The buses are sometimes irregular. They don't change the timetable though. Sometimes I see the bus parked up, while I'm walking. I see them on the other side of the park. Possibly the driver is waiting to leave at the right time. Could be if they're early so they are back on the timetable.

Fire Alarm

The fire alarm in the building is tested every friday at 10:30. The alarm wouldn't switch off once. There was something wrong with the button. Everyone had to leave the building. It must have been a nice earner for the firemen. I suppose they must penalise companies for false alarms because the firemen have to come out each time. It could cause problems if they couldn't get to somebody because of one.

Graduation

It was my Daughters graduation last friday. The ceremony programme is some kind of special edition because it is the university's 40th anniversary. She's in the booklet 3 times. Once for the ceremony and twice for awards she won. One this year one last year.

Sandwiches

Years ago, both me and my wife worked near each other. We would both drive to work. She'd go to work later than me.

One day I forgot my sandwiches. She saw them and dropped them off for me. When the 'package' was dropped off, I got a call from security! The company where I worked handled bullion so they were used to treating deliveries as valuable. It was only a small company. The security was actually employed by the company, not contracted out like usually happens.

84 Emails

Something strange happened on friday. I got 84 emails all at once, most of them were one of those out of office auto reply things. They were from the institute of advanced motoring. One of the emails was from someone asking for it to stop. Some of them contained discounts or offers, eg. for AA membership or tyres etc. They're no use for me. You can't get tyres cheaper than Makro.
