Saturday 27th May 2017- Some good news and some not so good

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.
