I have no time to do a painting today. So I did a kaleidoscope of one of my castles...

I am busy tidying up at the moment, some different tidying up. Cat  Midnight told me there was a mouse in my porch. I had spent a full day tidying it up for winter about three weeks ago. And so I moved everything again. The front porch is not used as a front door anymore because of reasons I have explained previously, and so I now use it with plastic storage boxes, although a  few things still in cardboard boxes. I had bought some plastic boxes on Wednesday and they were waiting for me to utilize them.

But the mouse/s got in first and nested in all my cardboard boxes and wrecked a load of stuff. 

Blinking mice...

And then I had the idea of circumnavigating the TV licensing. 
I know, I thought, I'll apply for the free TV licensing for the over 75's. I fit in the entitlement guidelines for that. But on principle I would not watch any BBC programs, but I thought that might sort out these silly letters from them.

I got stuck at the first hurdle, you have to put your old TV licence number in it said. Well that was about 17/20 years ago and I do not have that now. So I tick the box which says I have forgotten my TV license number. 

This takes me round in circles with pages and boxes, and it comes back to "You have to put your old TV licence number in".

It was an infinite loop with no escape...

I won't give in I said to myself. Tries a slightly different tactic to getting in. Fill in your name here it says. 
Okay I fill in exactly the same name as I did in the other day when they granted me another extension of no TV licence needed until July 25.

That would be no problem there, will there? 

Wrong...

TV licensing tells me that is no such  person with that name living at my address... And consequently they cannot give me a free tv licence...

I am waiting for another threat from their Enforcement Officers saying I should not be living here...

They can take a long walk on a non-existent Pier...


Have a great day...

Any post letters will go in my basket until next Tuesday...
Any emails will not be looked at until next Tuesday...

I am on a sabbatical from all communication methods until Tuesday....

And I will be writing a new notice for my kitchen window, the last one has faded from the sun so I need a new one....

The other bane of my life is drones. There are two in particular that regularly fly over my garden and hover. I know who they belong to because they have come to my door to ask if they may retrieve their drone... And I have warned them, the same will happen if their drones repeatedly fly and hover over my garden... I always hand them back. 

I have explained they do not need to fly over my garden they can go down the road flying their drones and either end is access to  woodland so there is no need to fly over my garden...

The birds do not like the drones and they sound a warning signal (which I hear if I'm wearing my cochlear sound processor)
The magpie is furious when the drones fly over and he makes one heck of a deafening racket...

Like I said, have a fantastic day...
