It's those dratted Pixsies. You can't turn your back on them for a minute .....
Good morning all.
The weather hasn't quite made it's mind up this morning; a brief shower around 9:15, now hot and sultry. Up the hill to Shaftesbury to visit the bank; new-fangled parking meters installed by DCC
. Asked workman if they were operational, and he said yes and grinned.
Hmmm .... spent 5 minutes reading the instructions and small print, and trying to find out where you put your coins. The printers at the bank were also in hiccup mode; long queues everywhere, including WH Smiths where I braved the self-service till ("No, I do NOT want any promotional items, capiche?"
)
Then back home to find I'd inadvertently agreed to providing the electricity company with meter readings, according to a garbled voicemail message. Decided I didn't want to tangle with the Automated Meter Reading System on the phone, so with a heavy heart registered for an on-line account
. I don't like doing this, as I am convinced digital is all going to end in tears, but nowadays companies are very much restricting your choice and pushing you that way. Oh well. Enough of technology for today.
Jo and WM, we could do with your rain down here ...
Have a good day, everyone!
