Grout, aerial, mattress

Yesterday got the Norcross grout from Staffordshire Tile and Stone Cº in Milford, though he normally just deals with the trade. Also chatted with an aerial guy, who said there shouldn't be a problem with BBC programmes, unless it was the omni-directional aerial messing with the mux, and confusing the tuner.

Having advised a 7.30 p.m. delivery on Wednesday, the mattress firm first postponed that to 11 p.m., and then said it would be Thursday between 9 and 12. At 12.20 they showed up. The mattress itself looked fine, but the 6" strip was only 5'3" long – a foot short. So I paid for the mattress but not the strip. Angela rang today as we travelled home to say that a strip of the right size would be delivered next week – Wednesday or Thursday matches our travel plans reasonably well.
