OK — so we’ve got a Mexican standoff. How do we move forward?
Builders wait.
Landowners wait.
Investors wait.
Politicians wait.

No one feels reckless.
Nothing moves.

If building homes was the safest way to make money,
more homes would already be built.

So what’s really stopping it?

Housing shortages don’t happen forever without someone benefiting.

The uncomfortable question is who — and why that makes change so hard.

My parcel has finally been delivered and the buyer has picked it up.

At last! All's well that ends well and all that.

Royal Mail only updated their status at the end of the day, a couple of hours after delivery. As it would have been stored in a locker that was fine but I'd have preferred a quicker update to reassure me that I wouldn't have to wait another day.

On reflection, the Royal Mail status was ominously vague.

"we normally expect to deliver" implies that there's a high chance of something not-normal happening.

What could it be?

a) postie delayed by market day traffic
b) post van stuck in a muddy bog
c) time ceases to exist once the county border is crossed
d) masked men hold up the locker site

Royal Mail statuses are confusing. Why did they say a package was being 'delivered' when it was just being transferred between delivery hubs?

Grr. At least I know it's in the right area but still no delivery time. This is a 48hr post that's taken 4 days. Hopefully with the buyer today.

Swap shop.

Today I'm doing some admin on my postal stuff.

Apparently my non-barcoded stamps are no longer valid for postage. However, I can swap them for new stamps by filling in a Royal Mail form, so that's what I'm doing this afternoon.
