I couldn't seem to find any direction yesterday . . . . no Fx! So I immersed myself in paperwork for Vintage Trains. I had hoped to go plant the centre bed but heavy rain was forecast so I didn't see the point.
I also dealt with mundane stuff like notifying the Council that the gutter drains outside are blocked, nay - not blocked - covered in 'stuff' so that they are invisible! With this storm pending, I can do without any flooding thank you.
I was woken this morning at 07.30hrs by the most peculiar sounds and, viewing from a bedroom window, there were two workmen cleaning said drains!!
How's about that for service!!
Something I did not expect, less then 24hours reaction to my email, I thanked them very much and told them I was impressed with their swift action. By their demeanour, I don't think they are used to folk thanking them for their work but it is good to know that the road and surrounding houses will not have to deal with maniacs driving their cars through the flooded road.
Well done Birmingham City Council!
Today Fx will be with me and, dependant on the weather, we should have another fun day . . . . . it's not dependant on the weather . . . . . we always have fun!
Thought I would show you some peonies flourishing out in the border . . .
WOW! That is service and you're right about thanks, many people are surprised when I give gratitude, strange isn't it, that it seems so unusual to thank someone for doing something for you. Your peony is beautiful, a lovley colour, we have just 3 flowers on ours.
