If you've read my previous post you'll know I worked hard today.
Husband likes to lie in the sun from early afternoon on; I prefer to leave it until the sun's not so fierce. So Husband had already been out there for ages when I settled down today with my book.
And then he started talking. And asking me things, and suggesting things I could do in the garden, or that needed doing, then making me get up to help him take off the pool cover, then again to put it back on. It's no wonder I have no idea what's going on in my book.
I wasn't going to post this but then Debra commented on my previous post that I deserved a rest!

I opened a letter this morning. I actually received it a few days ago but it looked boring so I'd ignored it. Husband usually opens my boring mail for me but he too had ignored this one, so in a quick tidy-up I decided I might as well check before I threw it away.
It was a letter from an insurance company asking if I were the next of kin of the late Mr John HF Williams (I was), as he had a small insurance policy that hadn't been cashed. First thought was that it was a scam so I went to the company's website - not via the link the letter suggested - and searched around there. Nothing obvious so I phoned the insurance company, again using not the number on the letter.
Customer Services searched for me and couldn't find anything but then he said he only had records on current policies. When I read him the reference number he said it did sound like one of theirs, and gave me an email address to contact.
Unfortunately my email account is playing up so I can't at the moment. I could phone an alternative number but I'll do anything to avoid talking on the phone.
I'm already planning what I'm going to do with all these millions thousands tens of pounds. Current thinking is to pay someone to sort out my Microsoft account!

My seedlings died and my lily of the valley didn't grow but thankfully Californian and 'ordinary' poppies self-seeded.

Let's hope it's multiples of tens or even hundreds of tens!
We have gotten strange emails lately and contacted the businesses as you did. It is the only way to be safe these days. Good luck!
I hope that insurance policy payout is legit -- perhaps you can use it for another little holiday away?
I hope it's billions of pounds because I know you'll want me to give you my excellent investment advice, which means paying a very small fee for my assistance..
Love,
Janie
well, here's hoping a) you get your email sorted and b) someone gives the money tree a big shake for you and c) i hope my lily of the valley survives :)
Ooh, exciting.Now I know the answer to my question - it's impossible for you to relax when 'someone' keeps asking you questions! 😎
Why do people feel the need to talk to you when you are reading? There was a kid who used to do this to me al the time when I would read on my breaks at work. I would usually say something to him like In case you didn't notice I'm reading, so I have no idea what you just said to me.
