I wouldn't have believed the launching and hurling stories but some time back experienced a loud 'bang' of something flying into the security screen. Omigosh, rush out to check, nobody to be seen but a small parcel rocking to and fro on the ground. Glad it was something unbreakable. Not sure what is worse - the Olympic Games with parcels or the squeak squeak squeak of the Postie's motorbike as it stops and starts all up and down the road (maybe some of the profits could go to fixing whatever the problem is with the bike?). Makes my eye twitch like Scrat!

The Parcel contractors are good though - they always come to the door and knock. Or have been known to hide the parcels somewhere safe and slip a card under the door telling me where they are 🙂
