Rainy day. Bucketing down.
Alec's B'day. Watched the videos he's posted for October on Pampoosh website. Very cute ones of Felix feeding Gideon, Gideon falling asleep, Alec playing hide and seek with a stationary Gideon, Talia reading 'The Monster at the End of the Book' to Felix.
10.15am Caught the 172 to the Old Kent Road to the Post Office Depot to pick up the package that couldn't be delivered to me. Went several stops beyond, to the PC World. You can't return (or even exchange) switches to PC World either, once you've opened the box. Bloody hell. Right, I'll give calling BT one last try, to get Susan's wireless working on my laptop. / Walked the 4 or so stops down past the ASDA and the B&Q and the Lidl and the Curry's in the rain, to Mandela Way and the Post Office depot. The woman behind the counter didn't even check my ID, just passed me the box. Only noticed it was ripped open after I'd left the office. Couldn't be bothered to go back to complain about it; didn't really think there was anything in the box that would have fallen out, anyway. It's the box I'd mailed to myself from Holland (gosh that took a long time to arrive! more than a month!) with papers of Mom and Huub's.
12.33pm Caught the slow train to Twickenham for lunch with Alexandria and Ben
16.41 Caught the fast train via Richmond to Waterloo
18-19.00 On the phone with Vicky at BT, trying to get the wireless to work -- with success!
Skyped with Paul
Printed out biscotti recipes with an eye to baking tonight
Susan home around 8.30pm. Dinner of Sardinian pasta-lettes with delicious almond pesto from Gelupo.
Skyped with Vernon -- on wireless, in the bedroom!
22.30 Too late to start on biscotti... fell asleep reading 'Exterminate all the brutes' while Susan took a bath and did some work
