I got measured up for my new shoes at the hospital this morning. I discovered there was a better range of colours available than last time, so I ordered up one black pair and one red pair. 
Next up, I got a visit from the District Gnurse. Who couldn't operate a door entry system so I had to schlep downstairs to let her in. 
Then it was my Tesco delivery, and finally a package. 
I expected it to be my TalkTalk TV box, rescheduled after they failed to deliver last Wednesday. It wasn't. It was the LED light bulbs I ordered. 
I 'phoned the UK Mail "helpline" and got quite angry with them. They agreed to "upgrade my service" and deliver it "Guaranteed before 10:30am tomorrow". I asked how "A day late after a week's delay" could in any way be considered an upgrade... 
Once I finally had the flat to myself I put the radio on and settled down in front of the computer for a while. Until 7pm...
...just before The Archers, which was when the *second* person who didn't know how to operate a door entry system arrived. After two quick rounds of Doorbuzzer Roulette I lost patience and switched my intercom off till The Archers were over. 
I watched "The Tomorrow People", "Law & Order: UK", "Castle" and some of "CSI". I'll be watching "Law & Order: SVU" and "Warehouse 13" before I crash.

Yes good. Take control over your doorbell and switch the bloody thing off. Well done. I would do my gate buzzer if I could. No switch.
Your home is your castle and if you pull up the drawbridge no-one can disturb you, simple. If it's the postman he can redeliver. They are serving you, not the other way round. it's what you pay your taxes for. (Or what I pay my taxes for <chuckle>
