caddymanMist in the Dollis Valley this morning. As the Boy Twine would have it, autumn is on its way. But not just yet. Once that mist was burnt off, the temperature rose very quickly to most un-autumnal levels. Even Cheerful Gay Guy who works in Waitrose and whom I see most mornings on my way to the tube station looked harassed this morning, though that still didn’t manage to completely kill his cheery politeness. Maybe he bumped into Creepy Swedish Guy, though I didn’t see the latter, myself.
The trouble with the weather as it stands is that it is entirely in transition. Cool – even chilly - early in the morning, but too warm later on.
In other news, bank-related bureaucracy has left me unable to get cash from my current account for the next four to five working days.
Having recently cut up and returned my Barclaycard and closed the account, I took it badly when I received notification that someone was trying to deliver a new one. I took it even worse when my Barclay’s Connect debit card was refused in Waitrose last night. It is supposed to expire at the end of this month, not during it. A phone call to the bank later and I find out that the card labelled “Barclaycard” which we grumbled about back in August was in fact the replacement “Connect Card” mislabelled. That has now been cancelled and I have to await a new one. The delivery of that will probably involve high farce in itself.
