shewhomustThe Parcelforce driver who brought my wholefoods order hammered on the door instead of ringing the bell; luckily we were in the kitchen, and heard him. We asked if the bell wasn't working, and he replied that there were germs on the bell push.
I think that's unlikely. No-one has rung the bell for several days - quite a large value of several, before the weekend at least. But he didn't lnow that, so let's interpret what he said as there might be germs ... Might there? I know there are reasons to disinfect surfaces and handrails and things that people have touched recently, but how long might a virus linger on a bell push in the open air? Does anyone know? Anyway,durham_rambler has made a notice saying "This is a big house and we may not hear you knock. If you don't want to ring the bell, please telephone ...
Mysteriously, the box he delivered was labelled 'number 2 of 2', but he didn't have another one, and the contents tally with the whole of my order. So I have flour, and sugar, and vanilla pods to make vanilla sugar.
And it was only when I opened the door to that delivery that I realised the post had come, and included a lovely postcard fromhunningham, Uccello's hunting party, tiny people in vivid red dwarfed by the tall trees of the dark forest. Which cheered me immensely.
