bopeepsheep seems to be having a whale of a time on eBay] which the postman had stuffed a short way into our letter box and left it sticking out on Saturday morning. It had clearly rained since then, and though the outside of the package had dried out, the contents (baby clothes) were still slightly damp.This morning a postman rang the doorbell and, as I was slightly slow in opening the door, he left the package on the ground just by the door and continued on his merry way. When I opened the door he said something of the form `it's down by the door, mate' so I asked him to please not do that in case we are on holiday and he grunted an `oh yeah' kind of noise.
But it will be as well not to buy anything by mail order during the week before we go away. . .
