Scottish Piper on stamp
I just got back from work and replied to comments. For some reason, every “i” on my screen was highlighted in yellow. I must have discovered WP’s secret “turn letters yellow” button. It doesn’t seem to be a very useful feature.
It’s not as irritating as the “Someone” button or the “wipe out all my text” feature that I seems to access from time to time, but that’s the best I can say for it. I can’t immediately think of a use for it, but that doesn’t matter, because even if I did, I have no idea how to make it happen.
At work we had another call from the firm trying to sell us new loft insulation. They were trying before I was ill, continued regularly while I was away, and they tried again today. I explained yet again that we are a shop and that we don’t have a loft but I expect they will try again later in the week.

In the afternoon we had a visit from a man needing a medal replacing.
“I suppose,” I said, “that you’ll be wanting it to wear on Sunday.”
“Yes.” he said, my sarcasm passing completely over his head.
The week before Remembrance Day can be very trying.
As for the rest of it, everything went fine.
When I got home Julia had found a sheet of stamps I have been looking for. It’s a pack of First Class Stamps of the discontinued type. I knew they were around somewhere and have been looking as I need to send them off and get them replaced with the new type. She truly is a treasure. And she had also bought me a bar of fruit and nut chocolate for being brave and going back to work.
Stamps, stamps, stamps…
Julia takes good care of you, Simon! I will have to find that photo of Rick and the 5 lb Hershey bar I won in a raffle.
Your first three paragraphs struck a cord. 🙂
5 ib Hershey Bar? I am impressed. I have never won tht many calories in anything . . . 🙂
I put in a lot of raffle tickets. 🙂
That’s the way to do it! 🙂
It is lovely to get a pat on the back now and then.
Yes, that is true. 🙂
Your first two paragraphs made me howl with laughter. SO RELATABLE.
And such a sweet bit about Julia. xoxox
I’m very lucky – 34 years and she still hasn’t thrown me out. 🙂
Only one bar!
It was a big bar, but I did share it. About 60:40.
