Not long since woke up from a little snooze, now Sat in the garden watching the birds.

Very tiring being on the sick :tired:

You have to rest that knee! The worst thing I found that exasperated, or exagerated or is it exacerbated :scratch: knees, is pushing a trolley round a supermarket. The combination of a heavy trolley, slippy floors, and wonky wheels on trolley made my knee very painful. I damaged the cruciate ligaments in my left knee decades ago, and the last time I pushed a trolley in a supermarket was June 2002! ^_^

You can sit quietly at home and order your groceries on-line.

Well that was a first, got the back door open whilst I'm doing a bit more dismantling of furniture in the living room.

Look up to see a woodpigeon walking round the kitchen :eek:

Mirror?

Mmm I'm not sure about the grocery delivery, I treat that like I do self scan checkouts, not to be trusted :ph34r:

I do need to go see my Doc again later though, need a sick note, wonder how long he'll give me?

I have used Tesco for on-line orders. My mother lives in Coventry, so from my puter here, I can order her groceries to be delivered to her. On one occasion, one bag was missing from the delivery, but the driver returned with that one, after his next delivery.

I have also used Asda and Ocado. I prefer Ocado as they have one hour time slots, and they sell the particular porridge, Rosé Port and soups that I like. You can say that you do not want "substitutions", if your item is out of stock. Usually any substitutions have been fine. If you choose a mid week delivery, there might not be any charges for delivery.

Like everyone else, the rain she rain. So much for taking my new camera out. This is all so far today.

Yes, I was going to do some raining, but it is now gardening very heavily.

For Peeps on here who like cats, here is an update on Tasha. She went to the Vet again today. The stitches came out, and loads of fluid was drained from the affected area. She has to have eye drops several times a day. They are still not sure if they can save the eye, but they think the cause was an injury to the eye, and not anything more sinister. They want to see her again next Friday.

Just looked, and the first available slot is Monday afternoon, £3.50.

The first 'cheap' slot is Monday between 22.00 and 23.00 for £2.00.

I may try it as the 500 yard walk to the local supermarket is getting very tiresome :whistle:

Do not be put off by the fact that the first time you do a grocery order on-line, it may take you a long time. The website should remember "your favourites" so that your second order will be much quicker. Do watch the sizes of the items. You may need to do some maths to work out the best prices. You can print out your order and edit it again, and again until, usually about 9pm of the evening before the delivery day.

The above sounds very comppelcated, but it is not really once you get the hang of it. Which supermarket are you going to use? Morrisons do deliveries and Asda.
