Today was liberating. Headed out on the bike, no plan in mind, just kept pedalling until I was deep into Wales, no clock watching no "better get home for that meeting". I even had a cold beer in the garden when I got back
Excellent, you are clearly a quick learner, settling into retirement quite nicely

Supermarket was busy this morning, I got in about quarter past nine, my usual time and it was a lot busier than normal, roads weren't too bad but got busy later.

Not me mate! Another thing I haven't done yet is the pensioner thing of going to the supermarket on the weekend
Gave up on supermarket visits 18 months ago Taking there place home deliveries Tesco and Acado Doubt we will ever go back to the weekly supermarket run
On an average delivery how many items are incorrect or missing ?

It used to happen a lot when online supermarket first started up, but now it rarely happens and if they are out of stock of something they ask if there is an alternative you would like.
Yes......foreign muck, I'm afraid.

I did supermarket deliveries when they first started - they were great at first
Then some idiot decided to look at the profit margins and told the pickers to pick the stortest dates first
AT the time we had a young daughter who ate loads of cucumbers - so we ordered 6 - all arrived witha sell by date of that same day!!!
However they were very good and just refunded them all
recently I just find it easier to go to the shop at a quiet time - I hate waiting in for people when I could be out of my bike!!!

We've had our food delivered by the supermarket for about 15 years now, it all started when our car repairs from minor dings and whatknot at teh supermarket car park was costing more than the food we were buying.
But occasionally I'll get in the mood to cook something and have to go out for the ingredients, which I do by Gocycle
