Another wet day & another delay

Yet another wet day and to make matters even more depressing we had an early morning call from the guy who was supposed to be fitting our gate and trellis today to say that he would not be coming. He will now be coming a week today. The reason for the delay is because apparently the trellis posts would not fit onto the delivery van. So they should now come in next week's delivery and not this week's as was intended. Well that's an excuse that I haven't heard before.
