On the road

Well I was late into work today, but by design, for once. I hung around in the vague hope that Furtle’s package would arrive – the one she paid extra for guaranteed delivery Saturday just gone. It didn’t arrive then and as of 9.20 am today it still hadn’t arrived. I am confident that we will have one of those snotty “while you were out” cards waiting for us tonight.

I was very rude in this connection about Parcel Farce. It seems that I was being unfair as this is some other cowboy courier. When Furtle used the tracking number over the weekend, we find that the package was in Glasgow. It will have started off in Basingstoke, so it probably got driven past the Athenaeum Club to get to Scotland in the first place. Either way, it is now officially more travelled than I am on an ounce for ounce basis.

It also seems to have fallen out of the space-time continuum; the despatch date in Glasgow was before its arrival there. I don’t know what the package is; Furtle is being appropriately mysterious about it. I hope some bugger is enjoying it.
