Tonight, potentially, marks the beginning of a new era in terms of our weekly Big Shop. Exciting, I know. Regular readers will no doubt know and be fascinated by the fact that we tend to amble down to Harringay Sainsbury's most weekends to stock up on tasty goods to see us through the week. This weekend, though - given that we'd be spending the majority of it in Dorset, we decided to try out shopping online. It makes sense really; we do almost everything else online and we're certainly no strangers to internet shopping, plus I figure that the amount we spend on delivery is saved by avoiding impulse buys and unnecessary BOGOF type offers. As it was we basically bought the usual - K seemingly having lots of fun clicking through the virtual shelves and arranging delivery for tonight.
I'm home in time to meet the delivery man - who expresses his own surprise that nothing has been exchanged for what we ordered ("this almost never happens", he assures me - hardly filling me with confidence for ordering online regularly). I unpack the shopping and sort out an unnecessarily spicy pizza for dinner, as K is out at her dressmaking course. The evening's TV is not particularly inspiring, but I make sure to watch University Challenge, setting myself the usual goal of getting ten answers right - which I achieve (but, it must be said, the round spent identifying songs from the Trainspotting soundtrack is a bit of a gift). I also watch Only Connect on BBC4, but on that one I barely understand the questions. Still, there's the lovely Victoria Coren to ease my bafflement.
