It's after 12 and I'm just getting around to thinking about the blog. Jamie called in earlier on his way to doing something else and he brought Archie with him. Jamie always say "Can't stay" but we get talking and playing with Archie and an hour passes easily. When he left, Marilyn produces a short list of things she needed at the local supermarket: fruit and fresh bread, and a couple of things to pick up at the chemist. I've moved on to Webster packs for my regular meds an d they're always ready on Saturday so I picked them up as well
I had a parcel from Temu delivered yesterday; nothing special, just a few things we couldn't live without. There was a time when we would have made a trip into KMart or Target to get those things, couple it with a cup of coffee and we would have used up half a day. The cost of the goods would have been about the same but add in petrol and coffee and it's much cheaper to buy online. Of course, there are intangibles that don't get considered: the value of having to get dressed; to leave the house, to see other people, and so on.
Still, I'm happy to let my fingers do the walking.
