mandragora

There was much bitching and moaning in the House of Mandragora when

temaris' DVDs of Due South Seasons 1 and 2 arrived at Chez Tem on Friday. 'Cos I'd ordered them at around the same time she had, earlier even, but mine hadn't arrived.

Turned out that they had, and I suspect that they were shipped in the same packet from Canada. Wonder what the person checking the packing thought about two dS season 1 and 2 DVDs going to the UK. They probably didn't realise that the two addresses are geographically close, though *g*.

Unfortunately for me, the Post Office/Consignia/Royal Mail (pick whatever name they're going by this week) didn't get round to attempting to deliver the parcel to my part of London until Friday afternoon. When I was at work. And the parcel was too big to go through the letter box. So, they left a note instead, asking me to go to the local sorting office to pick up the parcel. Which I didn't get to see until I was on the way out of the house on Saturday to go the hairdressers. The result was that by the time I got out of the hairdressers the sorting office was closed (closes at 12 noon on a Saturday). (Hair is looking a lot better than it was, BTW.)

I've now picked the parcel up. When I've got no time to watch the DVDs. Sigh.

I did think it might be my parcel from amazon.co.uk, which I was promised within 3 to 5 working days. That would be two weeks ago... Looks like I've got the same problem as

stageira with amazon.co.uk. Or maybe it's the UK postal service.

In other news I have an ear infection. Foolishly I waited to go to the doctor's a week after the first symptoms, consisting of shooting pains up one side of my head, appeared. I'm now on antibiotics - again - which should clear it up in due course but the pain is particularly bad today. Have just gulped down some paracetamol in the hope this will lessen the pain.

And, I faxed a form requesting appointment for tests for the cause of my anaemia about 3 weeks ago. Have just received message from the hospital saying that they can't read the form properly and can I post it... *would bang head against wall, except that, well, ear infection*

I am so tired of being tired. And sick. I'm beginning to forget what it felt like being healthy.

Now back to drafting a proof of evidence.
