The force that through the green fuse drives the flower. Yes? Please say yes because my parents would be so pleased that a very expensive heducation was not entirely lost.

Sure, why not? Yes, yes and yes again.

A mother hands her baby pieces of biscuit that small, stiffening fingers are unable to hold onto.


?Do you,? she says, ?Do you really? I never meant any of this.? The blue-cheeked child watches the light on his mother?s phone go on, go off, go on, go off - and smiles an unnoticed smile.

  • 2 weeks later...

A brother and sister gather speed and slither down the icy path hand in hand.


"We've built a snowman at home," the girl says. "You could come and see it."


Her father takes a long run-up and flings himself down the same impromptu slide.


"You'll have to send me a picture," he says.

  • 1 month later...

He'd had a wank again


Mum caught him, like she usually did. After all he was sitting at the table.


She served the Angel Delight, though his sister turned down the offer of "Anchor spray cream"



"Nah,.It's the name that puts me off, sounds like wan....Ow WUH, whats that for"


"Watch your mouth girl" says mother, wiping the boys moonish face with a flannel


"Mam" says the boy


"Yes love, Mam" she kisses his brow gently


"Mam"


"Eat up now you" she whispers lightly, leaning on the table to get up


"Mam, look were on the E.D.F. "


"The EDF ?....NO & look at my hair, why didn't you say....Oh blow..."

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
