Look No Hands!

If anything can go wrong, it will - Murphy's Law
 Welcome to my Tuesday 😱
Nice warm hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
It's going to be nice day for sunshine!
I give hubby a sloppy wet 😘 before I leave.
The big big sunglasses had to come out.
On goes the summer coat
(With a jacket underneath)
Now for the fun to start...🎈
It goes alright until....
I'm standing on the pavement, when a car is coming towards me, and the car starts to veer towards me.....
The woman car driver was messing with her hair, and no hands are on the steering wheel!
She then suddenly veered the car back....
I just shook my head.
Most cars try to get me in the road,
Not on the pavement!
The white Telsa didn't stop again.
Nearly had a few near taps and cracks this morning! 
I'm glad I finished in one piece.
I picked up the newspaper on the way home.
I puts on the coffee machine.
Now for that important coffee..
I start writing Sunday's blog post,
When DPD's customer service department phones me about the misdelivered parcel.
"I will get the driver to get it and redeliver it."
Was what they said......
We shall see....
My friend pops in for chat with coffee.
I said goodbye to my friend later on.
(I will see my friend later on in the week for more chat and coffee....)
Lunchtime.
Then it's time for afternoon shift.
As I get into Sexy Beast, I notice a DPD van goes past. I rush to end of my drive, and it's vanished into one of factory units.
Gets back into Sexy Beast.
I changes to another CD to listen to.
The Summer coat gets put on.
Puts my lights on.
Chats with the woman who has given me some plants and vice versa.
My friend came with dog.
I gives my friend some bread pudding
(My neighbour gets my younger son some on a Monday, and he got too much for just himself to eat,so I gave my friend some)
We sits and has a chat in the sunshine.
Once it was time for me to start.
I said goodbye to my friend.
Now for the fun to start 🍭
Some cars had to stop as I was in there way.
Some cars seem it quite funny not having to stop.
A few near tap and cracks again.
At least I finished in one piece!
Now back home.
No parcel from DPD was there waiting for me.
I just about have had enough of this!
I asked the Seller for a refund.
The email I got was:
"DPD works late in the evening, you might get your parcel!"
Fine I can wait until 9pm!
I get on with making a Beef Casserole.
Out come the cast iron Casserole Dish.
Once I put that in the oven.
I watered all the plants.
Then to carry on writing yesterday's blog post.
Hubby came home for a sloppy wet 💋.
Dished up the food.
(Ate it too quick for a picture, the dumplings were nice!)
Quick look into today's newspaper.
Michael Lonsdale-Crouch, commonly known as Michael Lonsdale and sometimes named as Michel Lonsdale, was a French actor who appeared in over 180 films and television shows. He is best known in the English-speaking world for his roles as the villain Hugo Drax in the 1979 James Bond film Moonraker, the detective Claude Lebel in The Day of the Jackal, The Abbot in The Name of the Rose and Dupont d'Ivry in The Remains of the Day
He died on this day in 2020 aged 89
Another nice full moon...
We watched the new series of "Bake Off".
While watching it, I had my book to finish.
 As normal, no DPD redelivering of my parcel.
Got in touch with Seller.
"Give me a refund please!"
Sleep tea time.
Finding out if I got permission to board the loft, and expecting another parcel to be delivered by DPD tomorrow
What could go wrong?????🐫

My radio in the kitchen has died on me.
I can only get one station, and that's Classical FM.
I ordered a echo dot from Argos...
(Pick up later)
I was waiting for my order from DPD 12- 1pm.
Early lunch incase it come early.
I go upstairs to wash my teeth, and surprise surprise, a DPD van goes up the road....
Then I receive a pic of my parcel...
Let's DPD customer service department know it's been delivered wrong.
They will phone me back tomorrow morning.
I let the seller know the parcel has been delivered else.
Then the string of emails soon followed.
"It's been delivered...."They said.
"Not to my house it ain't"I replied,
With a photo of my house.
Then off to work I go.
Summer coat goes on.
I gets a ice lolly from the shop.
Turns on my lights.
Sits on a bench and chats with my friend for a good yak of half an hour.
I say goodbye to my friend.
I start the afternoon shift.
One speedy driver comes up the road, sees me in the middle of the road and had to brake hard!
No chance of tap and crack!
Back to the pavement I go.
At least I finished in one piece!
Now onto Argos.
Quickly in there.
Then back home with it.
The Seller is still sending emails.
I send one to shut them down until tomorrow.
The echo dot is now fully working in the kitchen!
