damn

You wait and wait and wait and wait for the postie only to find that today is a day with no regular postie and a couple of guys that, while posties, when asked why they're so late (3pm) their first words are "I'm doing overtime for this you know..."

We collared the postie to find out if he had the passport:

postie: "signed for and next day?"
me: "oh yes; it's a passport and we know it was sent yesterday"
postie: look of discomfort crossing his face "errrr.... let me check"
me: "oh dear"
postie: "no, no signed for"
me: "arse"

So, no holiday today for us. In other news, aphids are invading the kitchen.
