19 June (Part 3) - Uninvited guests

LY74 FZA LY74 FZAHK17 CHG didn’t show up this morning but he/she has had three days of penalty free illegal parking and maybe thinks his/her arm has been chanced more than enough.

Having been in hospital for four days and recovering for another seven I thought I was ready to risk a trip to the shops. Not nearby Sainsbury’s because their prices have become ridiculous, they think we don’t notice 3% price increases every month or two, but Eynsham Drive Lidl in my condition makes a car trip advisable.

But it wasn’t to be. I found a large Toyota on my drive. No idea who it is and it is happening too often. The grey van was there a few weeks ago and another last Monday.

It will only get worse when the CPZ is installed.

I looked into getting a bollard earlier this year but the two companies I approached, and even tried to place an order, turned out to be cowboys.

The plan would not be to have a bollard raised all the time as that may be inconvenient to myself, but to pull it up in front of unwanted vehicles. Then go away for a few days.
