Morris

This malevolent creature lurks in the shrubbery. We called him Morris as we bought him just after seeing a very bad-tempered Van Morrison in an open air concert in Chester, more than a decade ago.

Our broken dishwasher was repaired today. After booking the repair over the phone, I was told I would receive a text message confirming the time at which the repair chap would arrive. The text duly arrived this morning, saying he would be arriving between 8.59 and 10.59. In fact he came at 10.16 and was finished by 10.43.
