Friday
Yesterday was another day of waiting in for a delivery. Although it was scheduled to arrive between 8am and 10 pm, the van broke down and I didn't receive my order until mid afternoon. It's just one of those things, frustrating, but not intentional or a result of bad service and they did keep me informed. The good news is that there was only one substitution and I was happy to accept the alternative choice - chicken thighs instead of drumsticks. The freezer is full again and at a reduced cost as I had a £10 voucher to use. I'm entitled to another voucher as compensation for the delivery problem but I won't need any more frozen goods before the voucher expires so will see if my sister wants it rather than waste it.
I didn't attempt to start the bulk cooking yesterday so will be doing that today instead, plus a load of washing, and a bit of deadheading in the garden. The highlight of the day will be a Zoom catch up with J and L this afternoon. I'm looking forward to hearing all their news and hopefully we'll be able to agree a date for meeting face-to-face.
Tonight I fancy watching a musical. I know a performance of Tangled has been released on YouTube so that's a possibility, or I have the film version of Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson.
Glad to hear that the grocery delivery arrived, eventually, and the one substitution was an acceptable one. :) What are you planning to cook? Lovely view from your window, too; looks like it will be a nice day, weather wise. Hope your day goes well and you have a fun Zoom meeting. :)
ReplyDeleteThe company I used this time specialise in frozen goods but also supply fresh produce and cupboard staples, so I tried them out to see what their fresh veg is like. I'm going to make a veg curry and a veg chilli because I like to keep a supply of each in the freezer. I have some chicken defrosting and will use that to make a chicken and veg bake. I'll use the odds and ends of veg to make up some soup because it's always useful to have some in the freezer.
DeleteIt's going to be hot today so I have all the windows and doors open. Probably not the best day for cooking but at least I won't need to stay in the kitchen all the time!
I'm looking forward to the Zoom chat this afternoon. Hope you have a good day too xx
We sometimes know the day a delivery will come, but that's about it lol It is a blessing in these days to have online video options for seeing people.
ReplyDeleteWith food delivery you book a specific time slot which they are usually very good at sticking to.
DeleteZoom and WhatsApp video have indeed been essential technology during these strange times.
