    That means having to go out, the only grinder I've got is for a nasty habit I picked up in the Caribbean.

    Going to be annoying grinding down all those fookin coffee beans with a mortar and pestle tho, since they've subbed kilos of ground!
    Or get a grinder? Then you can tinker with how fine the grind is and potentially get a better tasting cuppa.

    Or... take the plunge and get a proper bean to cup coffee machine like real people have.

    Ta - not done this before.
    We haven't tried it yet but, from what we've heard, they bring it to the car already in bags.

    Use another supermarket.

    I have to use Asda as they have sorted themselves out.

    I have to say, I am in two minds over this.

    1. Yes, absolutely, keep deliveries for thems that can't get out. Totally on board with that in principle.

    2. Going out presents a risk of me catching the virus and goes against the guidance of don't go out. I know shopping is exempt but it's not risk free.

    Living on my own I have to hope that I don't catch anything and, if I do, I remain with it enough to know when I need hospitalisation. I am not in a high risk group but I don't want to be one of the statistical anomalies that gets the Daily Fail all frothy mouthed.

    Thanks for correcting me. I thought it was the guinea pigs who were terminally ill.

    Strangely enough, that's the one thing I'm not since this all started. Keep having naps in the afternoon and sleeping for a good 8 hours a night

    I thought it was great having a milkman who delivers a variety of stuff but today got a revised, much shorter list, with next to nothing I'd want. No cream!!! I can't survive without my raspberries and cream.

    I don't think it would be, the opposite, actually
