Ten days again! No! Twelve days since last post... I'm just soooo tired! Okay, been walking, Monday four miles and was probably too far.. knees hurt and hips! I'm just so stubborn, as I walked in along the Erewash Canal/River, Nottingham Canal/Cromford Canal?!? Who knows the names!! I paused here and there, but just kept going, and thinking I have to stop soon and walk back! I have found a more circular route now, which is much better!

The photograph above is a point where two rivers/canals, cross...

Did I mention the saga of my Falmers waistcoat?? I have owned it for decades, literally, decades! 70's! 

I at last uploaded it to eBay, sold it, sent from the Post Office via Evri...

Notifications on its way... Then not on its way, apparently an incorrect postal code, which I have been seen as the Post Office printed out the label from a QR code...


The customer and I have had a fair few communications yesterday and the day before, good ones, nothing bad... I also spoke with eBay, and Evri! 

And finally yesterday afternoon heard it had been delivered, money came through and the raised concerns about not being delivered, were cancelled!

Great! Only it wasn't, it never arrived! The driver hadn't delivered it and told the customer she hadn't personally! 

The customer has now had a full refund, and I seem to have also kept the money?? 

What saddens and angers me so much is that that waistcoat had been mine for so long, travelling with me, living quietly amongst my other belongings and now? What? Where? 

If it ever shows up back with me I shall send it to the customer again, personally, for free, and I don't just mean the postage.. 

I've had a few rocky days this week, just been one of those obstacle weeks.. 

I started taking collagen again, took it back home then stopped when I moved.. 

I'll take it for six months before I either decide to continue or stop.. I'm taking the full one, it has every collagen needed, now where's my Roman numerals! Okay types I, II, III, IV, V and X!

For my joints primarily, I guess if nails and hair improve also will be a bonus... But it's my joints really I need to help along now.. 

I was never a one for supplements, now I'm taking a handful! Lols!

Also eating the Kefla yoghurt, no more sweet fruity ones, still adding the chia pudding I have made .. and maybe a drizzle of honey, but not every day on that..

Unfortunately I found a great food product on the shelf the other day. KTC Vermicelli, from Pakistan. It was on the shelf with other odd bits and pieces..

I say unfortunately as in the pudding recipe!! 

Kheer, Vermicelli pudding..

Three handfuls of this fine pasta, cooked in butter, (used my Olivio), then milk, raisins, almonds, bit of sugar... Finally some cream!

Very, very! Yummy! Oh and the price of the pasta? 12p! I only had to buy the 30% less fat cream...
