A busy Wednesday

Most of the day spent processing images, applying final colour corrections and cropping.

Tracked down a source for a new radiator for my BMW as it’s suddenly become a mobile steam machine, thank goodness we have two BMWs and a Passat!

Welsh class this evening, then popped in to see my mum.

Monday – another quiet day

Still having some problems with my local Post Office accepting SmartStamp Special Delivery items. I took along a copy of the email from Royal Mail that states they have to accept them so they did but they weren’t terribly happy.

Lots of ‘trick or treaters’ this evening!

A mainly quiet Sunday

A fairly relaxing day – Sunday lunch at home for the first time in a number of weeks.

A customer contacted me this evening about issues with PayPal payments, I’m hoping to make the move soon to SecPay for payments from my on-line order pages. SecPay should provide a smoother interface for my customers, most of whom do not have issues with PayPal but I know from my own experiences when becoming a verified merchant that some of their process can take a little time.

A mainly dry Thursday

Met my son Paul at Chris Babbage’s garage in Cardiff this morning. Paul is having his 4×4 serviced, went to MacDonalds for breakfast with Paul on the way back home. 🙂

Had another delivery from Jorgensen today, which means I have more albums to make up tomorrow.

Paul’s truck will be ready tomorrow morning so I’ll be dropping him down to the garage.

A quiet Wednesday – still raining

Decided that as I worked through the weekend and Monday that I would have a relaxing day today.

Visited the retail complex at Talbot Green, did some mainly window shopping.

Royal Mail have replied that my local Post Office have to accept Special Delivery items where the postage has been created with SmartStamp – hope my local Post Office now know this as well!

No Welsh class this evening as it’s half term.
