Mundane News

[potsy]

I am being unnecessarily suspicious in the following scenario, or justifiably cautious.

A few days ago, a small leaflet was delivered by hand, and put through the letterbox. The leaflet explained that a mobile sharpening service would be calling in this area, and gave a number to ring. I ignored that, but thought, hmmm could do with getting my garden shears sharpened.

This morning it is two people knocking on doors about the mobile sharpening. I said "no thank you" very politely. Do they work in pairs, gain access to your garage, then one person distracts you while the other sizes up the house regarding burglary in two or three weeks, or am I paranoid? What thinks the panel?

My advice is to do as you have done, I never buy from anyone that knocks at the door/leaflet in this way.

On the shelf in the shed...back RH corner

My TV channels have gone walkabout.

No BBC at all, plus what else I get depends on where I poke and prod the cables. I'm currently stuck with Sky News and the Travel Channel.

We have rain, so much cooler and fresher, should make sleeping easier tonight.

Heating will be on soon, as it was last night

 

[Hill Wimp]

We have had a spit spot of rain on the beach bit that only lasted 5 minutes.

Still rather close and warm.

Ray Mears is often on the Travel Channel late in the evening. Aside from the fact that Ray is , and sometimes wears shorts, it is an interesting programme.

I was assuming sharpening was some kind of upgrade to a phone that I had t heard of, though in my mind I just saw a pencil sharpener (admittedly a large one), with a phone being pushed into it..... until I read that last sentence . I think I need some more sleep tonight!!

Yes, you do need more sleeps!

I am capable of parpening my own shencils.
