The Daily Teaser — 22-11-2013: JFK

Oh, for Feck’s SAKE … !!!!!!!!

I’ve had a bad week, what with the ongoing aerial problems.

A problem which, right now, STILL isn’t sorted.

Monday, apparently.   It seems the chaps who were going to work on the exterior aerial were given half the scaffolding they needed to get to the external aerial.   On top of THAT … ?   The chap who was replacing the junction box, DIDN’T.

On top of THAT … ?   On top of THAT, it seems there’s an issue with my email account.

LORD know’s what’s caused that: but that’s put a big tin lid on my week … !

Dear GODS!

Right … lets get a move on: BEFORE it gets any bloody worse … … …

*        It get’s WORSE, Debbi! First the aerial — Monday, we’re told! — and now my email! The upside is that I managed to catch — through the iPlayer’s Live service — An Adventure In Time And Space: David Bradley gave a superb performance as William Hartnell.   Superb … and heartbreaking!
