.....best laid plans and a question?

................as it was the middle of the week yesterday...I started to think about the weekend! As you do..... You know, plans and all that. Sat down to watch a bit of TV and the phone goes, it's my daughter on the other end. Was I busy on Friday? Then she said, she remembered my usual shopping visits were made on Friday morning but would I like to visit for lunch? Then would I take my grandaughter to school. Being her first experience of primary school she goes for half a day, three days a week. We don't want her to miss any attendances if possible. Her father would pick her up on his way back from work. Well a chance to see a 'cherub' and join in the school activities, yea.....

So, a bit of re-scheduling with the shopping completed this morning and other little jobs done this afternoon, that left me to blog and make ready for lunch and the school trip tomorrow! Nothing like a bit of re-organisation to keep you active...hmmmm..

I was thinking of having a wander onto the other cliff, to see how the 'posh' people live! Talking to some people about Waitrose the 'posh' peoples shopping place to meet! I seem to remember it stands on land once occupied by the Tomson and Wotton brewery and was bought for development by the supermarket. My research antenae started to twitch and I wondered if there were any landmarks left over there. Does anyone have any photos or narrative about the old place, would it have been older than the Shepherd Neame, Faversham brewery? Michael if you're reading have you got any answers? Anyway I'll go and have a look and see what I can find, probably next week.

I do use the supermarket sometimes as I'm an ardent fan of John Lewis department stores in both London and Bluewater but that's another story from my very early past......

all change with Sky...

Just got a mailing from Sky to say they're about to change their 'set up' to make their service in conjunction with 'Google' easier to send and receive e mailings! Their letter begins and I quote:
Hello,
The countdown has begun, we will be moving your Sky Email to your new Sky Email and Tools 'powered by Google'. Below is everything you need to know about the move.
What you need to know
Between 7 November 2007 and 13 November 2007, your account will be switched to the new Sky Email and Tools service, which means:

God help me... please!

I look forward to the event with some degree of terror... This morning the monthly Sky statement arrived with a covering letter to say 'they are going greener'. On further reading, the postal statement will appear on the TV as part of their interactive services as well as on their website. Another nail in the coffin of the postal service as we know it! A lot of paper invoices and statements that used to come through the letterbox in my front door now arrive in my e mail 'mailbox'. Most of the stuff that comes through the front door is unsolicited rubbish and is consigned straight to the re-cycle box with yesterday's newspapers. True without things like firewalls and the like I used to get long lists of junk turn up on my e mail. If anybody experiences any problems with my e mail over the next few days remember I've just mastered what I've got now so please be patient...
