Lochan nam Beistain

I have lot of blip gaps to go back and fill, but today first.

An early morning text came in to say that our shopping delivery, due to come in a big green and white livery van, had been cancelled.

Oh, Bother, we thought.

With the cupboards bare Mrs SJR and I set off for the Fort William supermarket(s). The options are so poor that the outing requires a visit to at least three shops ending at the most expensive for the things you couldn't get anywhere else. Caley got a short walk (by his standards) to this wee loch on the way down.
Home, and with the shopping half away, a big green and white van rolls up to our gate. The driver, seemed to be aware that some of his customers had received the phantom text and was bemused at the lack of forethought by his store management to perhaps not phone round those affected to say the van was still coming.
We had no storage (or budget) to accommodate another week's shopping and he had no problem when we said that we no longer needed it.
What a shambles and waste of our valuable Sunday.
