Morning all.
I've done the grory hop and called into the GC to get some compost to spread as mulch after all that lovely rain we've had. Had a mooch round all the plants but managed to resist buying any. There's really no room to squeeze in any more. I was tempted by a deep cerise dahlia........but resisted!
I had an order from lancome delivered yesterday, two different pots of moisturiser for my mum as she likes this especially. When I opened the rather battered looking packaging I found one pot was missing.
When I looked more carefully, it appeared that the folded box they came in had been prised open at one end, then closed back up again, leaving it a bit bent looking. Filled with fury, I phoned the lancome complaints line and spoke to a very sweet (and very obviously French) man, who apologised profusely, both for my disappointment and the fact that they had no more stock to replace said item. All he could do was refund my money. And apologise about four more times.
So I spent a lot of time yesterday scouring the web, trying to find someone who had the moisturiser in stock, and finally John Lewis came up trumps. Either this item sells out very fast, or else it's being discontinued.
I shall spend the rest of the day in the garden, lots of early flowering stuff needs trimming back and the grass needs a cut too, though the white clover and blue bugle that are flowering in it look pretty...
