There was a knock on door thisorning at 8 o’clock. Ah that will be a courier with my latest eBay purchase a vacuum cleaner for the build site. When I opened the door there was a tall man brandishing a piece of paper and pointing at my name and address. He spoke no English and just looked at me, then I noticed the address included the words Oaktree and I realised it’s my windows and they are at the wrong house. It took a while to explain to the Polish driver that they needed to go somewhere else. We got there in the end but there was no way I could explain it’s just a wooden site gate and nobody will be there. So I had to jump in the car and come to site to make sure he found it ok. When I got here he was walking the steet looking dazed and confussed. Not sure what he is doing now I can hear a lot of goings on in the lorry so I guess he is unloading but no sign of the windows coming out of the truck. Now he is having a smoke. I was about to have some breakfast when he arrived now I am starving.
