RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted February 4 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4 Sadly the plan to eat some Henry Hippo sweets was overshadowed by the news that Welsh rugby Legend, Barry John, had died aged 79.

RMweb Premium Dave Hunt Posted February 4 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4 Although my plan to spend time in the shed this afternoon did come to pass, most of it was taken up making a bracket for a broken kitchen light fitting rather than modelling. Further time was required to fit it which, surprise, surprise, was in one of the most awkward places. Then I was offered, as in the offer you don't refuse, to partake in a game of Scrabble with Jill and a friend. My revenge was to win the game, which actually didn't enhance my standing in the immediate community. Ah, well, you win some and lose some pretty much all really.

After a couple of days it was en route, but subsequent tracking showed it out for delivery - in Hamburg. Amazon realised their error and gave me a refund, I don't think I even had to ask. Fairy nuff. Three weeks later the lens arrived.... In the whole scheme of things - it is often more economically viable to issue a refund or replace the item, rather than allocating resources to finding it/redirecting it. Especially when the item is "cheap". Double delivery or delivery after refund is allowed for in Jeff B's accounting. 8 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted February 5 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5 Mention of the weather seems to have upset the wind god. The wind speed has been picking up since early evening and is now gusting. It is literally whistling and moaning around hippodrome. I do hope it dies down by tomorrow, as I have 6 fence panels to replace. I really don't want to be on the top of my work platform with a 5' x 6' sail in my hand. 2 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
