This morning DPD, a proper courier service delivered to me, as one of his 132 drops, and that before he starts collecting, this 'refurbished' laptop. So far, this appears faster than my struggling old one, less crumb filled than my bust other one, and almost all has been added that is requred. Indeed some things have arrived I did not know I still possessed. One problem was the Microsoft licence sticker was missing from the bottom. However, a short phone call and the young lad at the other end fixed this via something called 'Team Viewer,' which I had never heard off. This allowed him to do all that was required fromhis end, quicker and more correct in the end.
Costing only £239 I did not expect much, however, the service was as required, the laptop is much cleaner than Grade 2 normally is, and my phone call was quick and easy but I pay for it! Almost next day delivery, the adaptor arrived but the laptop took two more days. It all appears professional and efficient. If this old thing lasts me one year I will be happy, and all looks OK so far.
The empty fridge reminded me that meat was required. So I trotted off to Tesco but passing the butcher, the only real one left in town, I noticed he had several varieties of 'specials' on the go. So I went in, spent just over £40 on a bag of meat that will last at least a month if not longer. The freezer is now stuffed full of sausages, chicken, spiced meats and no vegan will be near me for a while!
I have done little but glance at the news today, I noted fake £20 notes are going around, these are the type used in TV and films, they look real bar from little things like the word 'POOND' on the reverse, which some folks in Aberdeen might not notice. The biggest brothel in Europe is closing because of the Corono Virus, I am not sure why, 'Sickly Come Dancing' returns soon and an exciting horde of people I have never heard off will be participating, are you pleased? 'Bread and Circus's' for the masses I say. Trump stands accused (There's phrase you often hear) of calling dead US soldiers 'Losers,' amongst other things, that could affect his vote more than police brutality. A married teacher is accused of having it off with a 15 year old pupil. Where were such teachers when I was at school? And there are people confused, say the English press, and it is all English owned, people are confused because Scotland says one thing re quarantine and virus, England another. Why confused? Follow Scots lead, you will find it is the safer option.

TThat laptop looks good...and you have a human at the other end of the line to sort out problems...and he's not Mexican.
Put Trump and Boris on as a same sex couple on that damn fool prancing programme and they would probably sweep the board at the neext elections...no, on second thoughts...
Fly, Laptop not bad, will do for a while. Trump could not do the dancing, Boris would!
Good that you patronised the local butcher. I am not much of a meat eater myself but I really value seeing these small shops in the high street and use them whenever possible.
Jenny, He is the only real butcher left here. People grumble about lack of shops but they were the ones who stopped using them and went to Tesco!
