Essentials

Every other Thursday a doorstep delivery man calls to see if we want anything ftom his company. They sell tea, coffee and what I call Edible Combustibles. Our friend who lives in a remote place doesn't get a call because she is a bit off their round so we order for her - seven packets of ginger biscuits. That's her usual fortnightly order! Plus tea sometimes. Nothing for us today. He was an hour late because of traffic incidents around Newcastle so wasn't in to trying to tempt me with triple chocolate biscuits and the like.
