Well, that was unexpected -

Around midday, I was just finishing off a website update before I went to make lunch, when durham_rambler came to see how I was getting on, and to ask whether I had looked at the avaialbility of Ocado deliveries this morning. Of course I had, but it was very nearly midday, so I refreshed that tab on my desktop just in case, and it presented me with a grid containing a choice of delivery times: no The queue is closed, not even You are in a queue. This was so unexpected, that it took me a moment to remember what to do next.

So I have a large order from Ocado coming tomorrow. Not everything I wanted was in stock, obviously and that includes flour, which I was able to buy when we first went into lockdown, but which is now comprehensively out of stock. But not everything I thought would be difficult was unavailable, and that includes paper tissues. durham_rambler won't get his first choice of fruit squash, but he won't run out, either.

Lunch was much delayed: but I'm quite relieved not to have to brave the big out-of-town Sainsbury's just yet.

Wow, congratulations! I haven't been able to get bread flour for weeks.

I'm doing better with small shops now than with the big supermarkets. Are you still getting your vegetable box deliveries? Perhaps they could help.
