No snow here (yet) but it was a tad blustery today. The scenery down the road is looking pretty nice.

Hm-m-m. . . intriguing!!
Sorry to read about Fudge. Electronic hugs for all xGood morning/afternoon all.
Its a grey dampish day - just drizzly rather than rainy.
Temps are set to take a dive next week but it's still quite mild at the moment.
My sister's dog Fudge has taken a turn for the worse over the weekend - just suddenly seems to have lost strength and control of her legs. She can move about but looks like Bambi on ice. My sister wonders if she's had a stroke and is taking her to the vets today, but suspects it is just old age taking it's toll. She is still eating and drinking and not in any pain, so my sister just plans to keep her comfortable until the inevitable. I don't think our lovely Fudge has long left with us
Anyway, I hope you are all having a good Monday.
All I know is that my Thanksgivin/Chriscacti are in bud about a month later than last year. One might flower next week. The other has at least a fortnight to go. They flowered together last year
Good mornooning all. It’s delivery day… except that packages have arrived any time except the day I booked.
Company 1 split the order in two and delivered on Friday
and Saturday (while we were in London… it was left on the front step) They’re sending me emails saying that something will arrive tomorrow, but I have everything ?
Company 2 split the order in two and delivered yesterday and this morning 
Company 3 delivered yesterday
Company 4 split the order in two and delivered Friday and texted saying the other half would arrive by 11am yesterday…. Which it didn’t ?. I now have an email confirming that it has arrived at their distribution centre in Crawley about 20 miles from here. No idea if it will arrive today.
Company 5 is delivering by 1pm today
Company 6 is delivering in the next hour
I took a parcel in on Thursday for a neighbour. It was a Dell laptop. My neighbour is furious with Dell because she had booked delivery for Friday when she would be in to receive it.
How hard is it to deliver on the day booked? They were lucky I was in. I scheduled today because JoesDad had free time to do the bending and lifting which my back really doesn’t want to do.

Too late on the edit… that should say Thanksgiving/Christmas CactiAll I know is that my Thanksgivin/Chriscacti are in bud about a month later than last year. One might flower next week. The other has at least a fortnight to go. They flowered together last year
They are certainly messing you around ?Good mornooning all. It’s delivery day… except that packages have arrived any time except the day I booked.

It's shocking when they leave parcels on doorsteps with no idea if anyone's home.
Ok if you've got good neighbours but I wonder how many parcels are stolen?
The last few things I've ordered I've opted for 'click and collect' to them pick up from a local shop or Amazon locker so that if they come early or late I don't miss them - but that's only available for small parcels.
I try not to order big items online but sometimes you've no choice.
Good morning/afternoon all,
It's another damp day here, but not as damp as it could be!
Lola has graced me with his presence today - he wouldn't come out at all yesterday - not even for the Hermann intruder!! So he's had a nice long warm soak and is now tucking in to his food.
It's too cold and wet for garden work so I'm going to have another clothes cull.
Hope you're all having a good Tuesday and aren't too cold or wet in your part of the world.
TTFN

Thanksgivin ?..........and it's not even Steve Wright's Serious Jockin' (with no 'g' ) Friday!!?
He's a presenter on the UK's Radio 2 and that's a segment of his show (for the US folk who are wondering what I'm talking about).
Stealing is strong, at least in Oklahoma. Also car break-ins. Many people have "Ring" systems w/outdoor cameras. Car break-ins are occurring a lot. Gangs come out from Tulsa to the suburbs because they know (1) fewer police on night shifts; (2) very few investigations because of reductions in police staff; (3) no one is awake at 1 or 2 am; (4) people carelessly leave their cars & trucks unlocked. These gangs have easy access back to Tulsa.
The delivery businesses are short on drivers, so they're being forced to hire less experienced drivers. Delivering to the wrong address seems to occur a lot, as well as theft. A lot of people post to the NextDoor app, "I was supposed to receive a package today. Does anyone have my package?"
Ugh!!
Here in California they're called porch pirates. They're caught on someone's ring camera, including their auto license number, arrested, and back out and stealing parcels the very next day.
Yep, that’s the plan. ?? Plus a bit more after that. Stand by.
Those midnight marauders are active here between 0200 & 0300. Lots of cars being ransacked & looted, car wheels up on milk crates & hauled away. Unfortunately, many folks STILL leave valuables in their cars & leave them UNLOCKED ! ?
Why?We leave plenty of lights on, triple check all house & vehicle doors nightly.
I love his dead-pan humor
I thought it was looking like you're trying to make your own butcher block pattern for something.? looks like fun to me.
Spell check strikes again ?
Unfortunately, many folks STILL leave valuables in their cars & leave them UNLOCKED ! ?
I also leave the key on the center console lol
It’s the latest fashion don’t you know? Teeny and Lumpy model straw worn coquettishly over the left ear. ?
That's better then a broken window to get the key I guess. Or whatever else they decide they want.
Razberri the bunny has been looking like that lately. She has 2 hay filled litter pans. One is for business the other is for burying herself in ? she comes out with hay all over her.?
