I'm afraid I couldn't stay awake long enough to post last night.
Mowsehowse, I love to read about the wildlife you see on your walks, lovely to have lakes as well as sea on your doorstep.
Caroline, the birthday card sounds great, I bet he'll be really pleased with it. Don't know how you managed to keep your patience with the hairdresser, I'd have felt like wrapping the dryer cord round his neck!
My day:
Woke up tired as I'd had about four hours' sleep, got up so I could rally myself round for the art class Zoom lesson. Am very impressed by how our teacher conducts it, less so by some of the participants who don't mute themselves when necessary and seem to have forgotten everything they ever knew about using a computer.
Finished class and left everything out while I had lunch. I still hadn't received the code that was supposed to be sent to me yesterday to enable me to sign in to a particular website so I phoned again. I actually told the guy I was getting quite angry about having to phone so many times and when he asked if I'd checked my messages for a text I told him not to talk to me like I'm an idiot. Why would I ring without checking? Once again I was promised a solution that shouldn't take more than an hour so I said I would ring back in an hour.
Went for my walk around the local area, it wasn't as cold as I expected, no wind. First time I've seen a squirrel in these woods.
Came home and phoned again to see what progress had been made for me to access my account. Despite being told I could ask for the same person so I didn't have to explain it all again I was told he was busy. The person I spoke to was telling me that they would see if they could sort it out and ring me back. I told them that wasn't good enough, they were supposed to sort it out a week ago. I'm afraid I ranted a bit but it did have the desired effect and it was eventually resolved.
Spent a while on Rootschat, did some ironing. Ordered another over the door thing for storing shoes, I'd bought one recently, it hangs inside a cupboard door and is very useful for summer sandals. I'd been thinking of getting another but there's only one other cupboard where I could hang it and there's not enough space to be able to put shoes in the lower pockets. However, I can put scarves or something small in those.
Whitby lemon and pepper fish goujons for tea, very tasty. Spoke to my friend L about how the art class had gone, she's not happy with her painting but she missed nearly a year of classes due to personal circumstances, I think she just needs to build her confidence again.
Usual evening, was really tired so put the light out early.
