I am not best pleased, however it's not been an entirely wasted afternoon, even if I did not do that which I intended to do.

I got to explore a local town I wouldn't have otherwise gone to, and had a very nice coffee and cake in a proper coffee shop. Which I wouldn't have done or had time for otherwise. I'll go back another time, I think.

I listened to the staff of the place I'd gone to visit which allowed them to let off steam about the person I'd gone to visit, who refused to see me when I got there, because I'd not confirmed the arrangement... the fact I'd been trying on and off since last night, in between all the commitments I had between 6.30 last night and lunchtime today, and got the engaged signal every time, was irrelevant to this particular spectacularly self-centred soul, but was my "broken record" firm response to the barrage of accusations of my inconsiderateness...

It also gave me enough evidence to back up all I'd thought from phone conversations of interminable length, and clues as to how to proceed.

I don't half get them.

In between the oddnesses, it's been good to get back to my normal routines a bit more this week, and feel I'm doing what I'm here for!!

I have also sorted out the electric and gas people, who are all being OTT nice to me!

Time for my other cake, I think. I was given a most yummy cake in honour of yesterday's occasion, a traditional cake eating time!
