Marilyn needed a blood test so Jamie took her into Launceston where there is a facility that opens at the weekend. One of the benefits of lending him my car is that he will take on some of the responsibilities that I used to shoulder. It gave me a chance to catch up on my reading although I can remember a time when I might have been tempted to browse through some Youtube videos. Although there is still good stuff to be found there, there's also a lot of rubbish and I prefer not to be bothered by it. It seems that everyone is a Trump-critic and I can only stomach a little bit of his stupidity.
We've got into the habit of making two or three small orders from Coles each week rather than having one big supply delivered. Because we pay a regular amount for delivery it makes no difference whether we have one weekly order or a smaller amount more often when it occurs to us. It will be here tomorrow and, by that time, we'll have thought of something else we need. I suppose it's keeping someone in work as well.
We had a new fellow deliver our meals from Toosey yesterday, a typical country Tasmanian with an Akubra. "I hope they've given you what you asked for," he said. "They're all Nepalese in the kitchen and I don't know whether any of them can understand English."
There's nothing like a bit of casual racism to help with your digestion.
