I am expecting a parcel to arrive at the flat tomorrow morning. Rather than giving a reasonable time frame for delivery, Parcelforce, in their infinite wisdom, has given me from 7am to 6pm. Now I just know it will probably arrive at 5:58pm but, because I know how these things work, I have to get there as early as possible.
My main problem is that I cannot get there any earlier than 7:30am and in order to achieve this, I have to get up at 4:30am tomorrow. Even typing it makes me tired.
I have tried contacting Parcelforce to ask them if was in any way possible to ensure it doesn’t arrive between 7 & 8am but, although they have a ‘Contact Us’ form which requests an email address and a phone number, they have decided not to contact me in return. I figure this is simply a ruse to make people THINK they care about the customer.
Am I the only person who thinks that having to wait a possible 11 hours is excessive? Clearly Parcelforce doesn’t.
Anyway, we went for a lovely long walk around the park today so, in the interests of calm, here’s some photographs of Farnham Park:
Very green
Carron Pond
Up the hill
The path

The title refers to something Claire said (or wrote) yesterday which I found delightfully obscure and funny. It doesn’t appear to mean anything and I definitely do not want to forget it!
I really enjoy the piks of Farnham but how do you know the name of the pond?
Today mum complained about the dull colours of our tops- Fi refused to comment!
I looked on the map posted at the entrance at the end of our street for the name of the pond! I have no idea who (or what) Carron is, was or will be.
Your mother makes me laugh more with each passing day!
