Snooping

It was a fairly typical Thursday morning. Ocado arrived with a mountain of shopping which we sorted, stowed, or carried round to our elderly neighbours as appropriate. The Silver Vixen and Urban-cub were both interested in YouTube fitness videos so the Gorse Fox showed them how to access them on the big TV. No doubt there will have to be further explanations, but at least they have seen the videos they want on the big device.

The Gorse Fox retired to the study. He had heard from Barclaycard. They want to see the correspondence between the Gorse Fox and Expedia where they are refusing to pay refunds on the FlyBe bookings. This is easier said than done. They have no detectable email address, no proper UK address (other than a serviced post box), and the Gorse Fox could only find their complaints contact form. Given that they published a clear statement on the day FlyBe went to the wall, this all seems very silly. Anyway, the Gorse Fox is playing the game and awaits a response from Expedia.

This afternoon has been spent helping out in the garden.

The Silver Vixen had ordered some faux ornamental laurel hedging. This arrived early afternoon and after some remodelling of the old trellis, now nicely covers one corner of the garden.

A Buddha pokes his head out between the leaves and as he writes, the Silver Vixen and Urban-cub are feeding several kilometres of solar lights through the foliage with some frangipani flowers randomly interspersed through the hedging.

While all that was going on, the nice man from Amazon turned up with the Gorse Fox's new security cameras. He will leave it until tomorrow to set them up, but they are currently charging in the corner of the kitchen.
