There are some flats opposite our office; I see the windows to these flats from my desk.
Nothing interesting to see really; the blinds are always closed – there is no sign of anyone there.
Until about a month or so ago that is.
Now I do tend to see movement on a daily basis. The blinds are still closed but there is often the appearance of two cats. They sit on the same windowsill; sometimes one of them and sometimes both of them.
They look content.
When they’re not at the window I imagine they are doing exciting things within the flat; jumping from drape to drape, chasing mice, doing handpawstands – that kind of thing.
And napping, of course.
I’m hoping that they get a ‘Teach yourself semaphore’ set for Christmas.
We could communicate then.
Update to add – they are learning semaphore!
Postal Scam
December 8, 2009 2 Comments
There’s a postal scam currently working the rounds in the UK, here’s the gist of it which I’ve received via email:
Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas is fast approaching – it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following:
A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 0906 6611911 (a Premium rate number).
DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize.
If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £315 for the phone call.
If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655.
So, don’t be stupid enough to call an 0906 number as that would be a very expensive way to not get a delivery.
Tell your friends and loved ones.
