Yodel are the worst fucking company. The worst. Alas I am forced to use them once a year.

Journey time to Yodel depot for OU course materials (they refused to deliver): 2hrs 15 mins. Twenty minute walk, 2 trams, 1 train, 20 minute run for last 2 mile. Had to run to get to depot as the train was late. Haven't run in 3 years. I am a puddle on the ground.

It is indeed. But hopefully this will cheer you up, Doc'- I forgot to mention I saw Boris Johnson on Thursday! I was stuck in traffic on the A650 near Wakefield when his convoy sped past me with blue lights and sirens! The convoy, which was quite gratuitous I have to say, slowed slightly as it passed me, navigating it's way through the traffic, and I saw an unmistakable mop of blonde hair in the rear seat of one of the cars! He was obviously on his way to that disastrous speech at the police training facility. How exciting!

I did, however, have some nice fish and chips afterwards with a splendid hot chocolate so the day was not a total waste of time. The trains on the way back were all cancelled so found a bus instead. I left at 9:15am. Got back 16:40pm! -Ralph |

The entire day. To collect a parcel? That would send me into a rage of terrifying proportions.

Oh it has been a very trying today. Only having a very very good fish and chips for lunch has stopped sending me completetly off the deep end.
By contrast, had it been Royal Mail I had to deal with, their sorting office is a 10 min walk away from where I am. Or Amazon, who send my stuff to a locker under 10 mins away also.

We will wage war on Yodel.
And the hideous assumption that adults all drive.

Indeed. Alas, the OU insist on using them. Another student in a group I manage found their course package in a hedge. Another had to negotiate with them on the phone before they would agree to leave their stuff with a neighbour.

I return from a few days 'oop north' - working on Friday, staying with sister's family yesterday. Nieces (5 and 7) were a handful when it came to babysitting on this occasion, resulting in them watching part of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' with me long after they should have been tucked up in bed... and eating my naan bread. They liked Groot and Rocket Raccoon, and were relieved that Groot's severed arms grew back.
Unlike the limbs chopped off in the Horrible Histories episode they put on for me this morning.

So the effect of me deciding that I'm not going to drink Monday to Thursday appears to be that I drink a whole heck of a lot more than usual on Sunday night instead.
