Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

If anybody cares, grump went in the FF Problems room. Just thought I'd signpost it so you know where it is. Wouldn't want it getting completely ignored, after all. |

Should you find yourself in the position of having to ablute with recourse solely to water which appears to have been expressly chilled for the purpose (assuming you are not in any case accustomed to doing so in which case this post will sound to you as the ravings of an utter wuss), commence by wetting a towel and allowing that to warm up a little towards room temperature before moistening the skin with it. Soap or similar may then be administered.
Rinsing is the tricky bit. The limbs are OK as they can be done one at a time minimising the trauma to the rest of the body. At some point, however, the torso must be rinsed. This does require the chilled water to be poured over the body. This may give rise to occasional screams and involuntary panting. This is quite normal and not in itself life-threatening. |

I hate doing these stupid shifts. I still cannot stay asleep for long enough to feel ok until when i get home after work. Curse the humans who thought shifts were a good idea - they should be banned as a public health nusiance. Two more to go and then Heather and I have both booked Friday off so can have a nice quiet day together and have a rest.

Grrr. Stupid Madonna and Guy are to be divorced, according to my newspage. After they've adopted vulnerable children too! I know they'll have plenty of money, but that isn't the most important thing in the world. Poor kids.  |

I'm waiting for a Tesco grocery delivery. I can't complain that they are late - yet - because there is still half an hour of the two-hour slot to go, but I hate hanging around waiting. If Ocado can manage one-hour slots, and always be on time though they come from a much greater distance, why can't Tesco? I'm using Tesco because they don't have a minimum order price, and since there is only me and I do go shopping as well, I don't want a great deal, just the heavy stuff.

They were five minutes late - by which time, embarrassingly enough, I had rung Customer Services, who told me the round was running 80 minutes late. That means some people in the 10-12 slot would get their orders very late. Why can't they get it right? Traffic is no more a problem for them than it is for Ocado, after all.
The order was right, except for one not very important substitution, which is something, I suppose.

That does suprise me Mary. I've never had a late delivery. I've had a few at the last minute, almost on the dot but never as much as 5 minutes late. Perhaps I'm on their route out to people from the depot, because invariably if I order say, a 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. slot, they're there at 1 minute past 9. That's happened a few times. I've raced back from the school run because I've spied the van outside my house - it's a very long straight road so I can see from a long way. They're usually just starting to phone me on the mobile as I draw up behind them. One grump is that they park right across the drive so I can't get in - but it makes it easier for them I suppose. I've never used Ocado but my daughter-in-law has and she says they're very good. |

Ocado: I've only ever had to use them a couple of times, and they are fantastic. Not only on time but extremely courteous and helpful, and they package your stuff in colour-coded bags (for cupboard, fridge, freezer etc.). Worth every penny if you really need that kind of service.

When Customer Services told me they were running late they said it was because of "staffing problems", which could mean anything, from someone not turning up to plain inefficiency. The driver was very pleasant and friendly - can't complain there - but a heavy pumpkin had been put next to a softish loaf, with predictable results. I'd asked for the bagless delivery, feeling virtuous, but when I saw the poor man struggling up the drive (which is long-ish) with trays of stuff I felt a bit bad. Bags are much easier for them. Ocado bags, of course, are returnable, recycleable (is that a word??) and biodegradable  They know how to appeal to the middle classes  |

"Twenty-three and a quarter minutes past," Uncle Matthew was saying furiously, "in precisely six and three quarter minutes the damned fella will be late."
