timesnewroman is sick. There are few things more pathetic than men with colds. I know I am one and I have one. I attempted to work through it, but jimty and others were clearly of the take your bloody infectious virus out of here and don't smite us with it point of view. There was sympathy as well though and I ought to know better anyway. Its just that we are so damned busy, too much to do, too little time to do it and with the prospect of an interview for the full time permanent, well as permanent as anything is nowadays, post looming. One wants to do it well.

Sickness and thewife's busy acting schedule has necessitated our use of tesco.com for this week's supply of groceries. We had a shot at this a couple of weeks ago, when carless, only to abort it as all of the available delivery times were far too late to be of use. (Okay I wanted drink for Friday and Saturday, not Sunday). Anyway, we thought we'd have another go, especially since they were giving us free delivery for our first shopping endeavour. Relatively painless experience although the wife likes to get her hands on stuff first. Had to placate her by letting her operate the mouse. Seemed to work. We now await our goods at roughly the same time as normal and without an impulse purchase, if you discount the 2 bottles of Cava we had to add on to get the bill above the amount to make the free delivery offer.
