Diary 14th And 15th December 2016

Diary Wednesday 14th December 2016 I accidentally knocked my digital alarm clock over last night as I was preparing for bed and I woke with more alarm than usual to see the time was impossibly 93.60 – It took me a moment to work out that I had put the clock back on the bedside book-pile upside down and that I wasn’t in some weird new dimension. It was actually 04.30 am (the clock digits look different than the typed numbers here) as it should have been, though I hate getting up at such an hour in itself. Work was very busy again, with the boxes I usually store prepared mail in arriving in very short supply so batches had to be sent out simply heaped in cages which was not good for the envelopes. It was a very exhausting day. Mylot paid out today – yay! Diary Thursday 15th December 2016 Workwise almost identical to yesterday, followed by a shopping trip for essential food and less urgent Xmas wrapping paper. I was asked if i'd like a special long carrier bag for the wrapping rolls. I said yes, not realizing I would have to pay for the bag too. I know we have to pay for ordinary carrier bags in the UK now, but this was a specialized bag for items that clearly won't fit in an ordinary shopping bag which I always carry with me when shopping. Though it only cost me 5p I felt conned. Arthur Chappell
