Afternoon all.
Many happy returns to Mrs Stationmaster, if I have read your post correctly, Mike.
I am a little confused this afternoon. (Not difficult, I hear you say).
Last weekend, Bank Holiday notwithstanding, I ordered two items from that supplier named after a large South American drainage system. I received an e-mail confirmation saying the order had ben despatched and would be arriving this Sunday, the 7th. I thought, based on past experience, that was quite a long time for them, especially as they were fulfilling the order themselves and using their own delivery logistics. The items are non urgent so it didn't really matter.
However, when we got back from shopping this morning I had an e-mail saying the second item was despatched yesterday and would be with me today. I hadn't realised that they were delivering the items separately (two very similar items from same supplier) but I can't understand why one, despatched over the weekend might take a week and the other despatched yesterday is arriving today, both using he same delivery system. Ah well, ours not to reason why.
My best wishes to those undergoing and those recuperating.
The rest of you can fend for yourselves.
