Mother’s Day Karma

All those years of blaming the postman for my Mother’s Day cards late arrival have come back to haunt me. This year, it was posted on Thursday, so she should have got it on Friday, two whole days before Mother’s Day, and I would not receive a brusque phone call enquiring of its whereabouts on Sunday.

As it turned out, I didn’t get such a phone call on Sunday, but I did get two brusque messages on Monday. She didn’t state what she wanted, so I was most puzzled. I rang her back, and she did her where’s-my-card thing. Damn postman! I told her it was posted on Thursday, and I described the card to her (she was suitably amused), and she was pleased I’d sent one, but upset that it hadn’t arrived. I hope she has words with Mr Postman.

They said on a recent BBC News broadcast that the Post Office loses thousands upon thousands of letters in a single week. I wonder how many other Mother’s Day cards they lost last week. Including mine.
