Long time, no blog update

But look: I drew you flowers.

I plead insanity - or more specifically A2 exams and going to Wales. The trouble is, one feels obliged to end one's absence with a particularly deep and meaningful/entertaining post, so one ends up waiting to return until one has found such a topic. Or giving up and posting anyway.

Things that have happened:

- I was attacked by a chicken

- I discovered lemon and ginger tea, and Welsh cakes - delicious!

- Exams are over (huzzah!)

- And Murray lost the tennis...

I've got a few ideas for posts waiting, so updates should be a bit more regular from now on.

This Modern Age We Live In...

We normally get our food delivered and the bags are helpfully labelled according to whether the supermarket reckons it goes in the cupboard/fridge/freezer - in case you were going to freeze your cereal, or something (although who are they to stop you if you wanted to - people of the world, rise up! MISFILE YOUR GROCERIES!). I assume that this is not because it is thought most people would otherwise be left standing in the middle of their kitchens, paralysed by indecision, but either to show that they care, or to stop people suing them. But it still seems rather a waste of time and energy.


I am feeling particularly patronised by these bags today because I took the delivery this evening and there was - horror of horrors! - an unmarked bag! This was, the deliveryman spontaneously explained, because this ice cream had initially not been in stock and so was added at the last minute. However, he also felt the need to assure me that although it was in a substitution bag, it still went in the freezer. 

Why? Just why?

I didn't know whether to be more amused or annoyed, so I settled for a politely neutral expression and a nod. And then decided to blog about it.
