Up and down and up and down and....
Mrs Next Door SMSed me earlier and said she was expecting a delivery between 11 and 3, could I let them into the house with it. I replied and said I'd be in other than when I was walking the dog.
Then the farmer up the road SMSed to ask if I was around "After lunch" for him to come and empty the muck skip. As I'd already eaten my lunch and was just about to take the dog out, I said "Just taking the dog out, I'll be back in an hour," and headed out with her.
Just as we got to the bottom of the hill, along came his tractor. I waved and said "I'll pay you when you come back with the empty one," and then carried on up the hill. Just as I got half way up it, Mrs Next Door sent me a SMS to say the delivery would be there in ten minutes, so I went back down, paid the farmer for taking the poo away, let her dogs out, and twiddled my thumbs, while Jodie wondered where her walk was.
Along came a van, and the driver gave me.... her veg box. Rather bemused at why she needed me to be there for it, I put the dogs away and left the veg in her kitchen, then took the pooch and headed back up the hill.
Just as I got into the woods, I saw Mrs Farmer. "Are you expecting a delivery? I just saw a big lorry trying to come down past us to get to you. I told them they wouldn't make it, and sent them round." And then I got a SMS from Mrs Next Door: "Sorry, they got lost, I've just given them directions and they'll be there in ten minutes...."
Oops. I guess it wasn't the veg box that I was waiting for. So, down through the field we came, much to Jodie's confusion, and shortly afterwards the actual delivery arrived.
And then we went back up the hill and actually had our walk!
This is new, I'm slightly confused: we've not had a storm since I last walked past it, but it looks fairly thoroughly trashed!
