I think I must
have mentioned in a previous Blog about a missing parcel containing my driving
spectacle which I inadvertently left behind in UK and our attempts to find it
via the online tracking system and visiting the local post office.
In disgust
I checked the tracking system this morning and now there is no mention of it
being anywhere as all status items had been deleted which to means that it has
been lost for sure. My daughter will make a claim against the British Post but
you can only do this after twenty days and you need a copy of an invoice to
substantiate your claim value. Well of course I don’t carry around with an
invoice for a set of spectacles and was thinking there is not point in phoning
the Opticians on a Saturday as its their busiest day and so would leave it
until Monday.
So we went
for some food shopping in Courmeilles and also some diesel for the car, a bit cheaper
here still than UK, even after the poor exchange rate. Well we got back and
started watching qualifying for the Formula 1 Monaca GP and the lady from
reception turned up carrying a small package which was my spectacles, unbelievable
as I thought they were really lost.
Anyway we
watched the qualifying and then had a mid-afternoon rest waiting for the FA Cup
Final to start where Chelsea was bound to win, only they Chelsea team that I know
did not turn up and they got whipped again by Arsenal. So this was the bad news
bit of the day
.
Oh Damn!!!! |
Oh well that’s
life. Tomorrow is another day and the weather is still looking good.
