Even that doesn’t always work. Our local Facebook page often has people putting up photos of their parcels and asking if anyone recognises the door as it’s not theirs! :laugh:
I had a photo that the courier took of the 'safe place'. He'd launched the parcel over the back fence then held his phone up to take a pic of the parcel in the middle of the lawn 😂

A lot of parcel companies now take a pic of the parcel at the delivery point to prove that it's been dropped off at the correct address.
I have seen a few recently here where a pic was taken but inside somebody's shed. Pleas on FB page "does anybody recognise their shed in this pic?" There are also quite a few in Oban with pictures taken on anonymous doorsteps.

Sunshine and showers today and still a bit windy but not as bad as yesterday.
Wind is always a feature anywhere north and west in Scotland and usually very strong. I remember being up near Loch Shin and took a forest road up the Bettyhill direction. I had come back down to the tarmac road again to return downhill to base when a female cyclist came struggling up the not very steep road " This is hell on earth she shouted "as she had struggled against the wind for miles.:sad:

I remember climbing the Pap of Glencoe, and a fierce wind made what in calm weather is a walk and a bit of scrambling into a similar ordeal. I got quite spooked.
 
In this case the box arrived, so there's evidence it was delivered. However, it had been opened and badly re-taped. I'm not sure Skagen/Fossil send out packages sealed like this (note - I cut the tape to open it):

Vanilla or cream slices...

Twist the top layer off and put it upside down on the plate. Then take a cake fork and eat the bottom layer. Set the cake fork aside, pick up the top layer with your fingers and scarf it.

^_^

Maybe I should see the results of letting you lot loose on my giant profiteroles... :whistle:
Laying them on their side & proceeding with the said fork is often successful.
 
Warm, breezy and sort of sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, but still feeling a bit out-of-sorts. Puttered around gently in the kitchen this morning. This included removing the sprouts from a bag of potatoes. No, not *those* kind of sprouts... :laugh:

Writing will be on the agenda this afternoon. And maybe a gentle bicycular bimble.

It is almost time for luncheon.
