The marvels of modern technology
Thursday evening
Isn’t technology marvelous! I’ve just finished doing my grocery shopping from the comfort of my armchair in front of the telly – and who said I can’t multitask? It’s so cool being able to sit wireless and cableless, and be able to print documents, surf the net and do ones shopping. It beats trawling around the supermarket, especially at the moment when I’m sooooooo busy. All I have to do is sit back and wait for it to arrive (and put it away obviously). I just hope I don’t get any daft substitutions, they sure don’t think about them very well, that’s my only complaint. For example, once I ordered 2 different variations of a breakfast cereal, one wasn’t available, but hey, they didn’t give me 2 of the one of my choices that was available, no, they chose something completely different! Maybe the shopper thought I needed a new taste experience and what I’d chosen was too boring.
I do most of my glass shopping on the net. Lots of good glass, frit and tools are availalable from the States, so I just have to do it that way. I love getting my parcels through the post, especially when it’s dinky jars of frit (crushed glass) individually wrapped in pink or orange tissue paper, although one order I did with a sample pack of 18 jars had 3 or 4 pieces of sticky tape on each jar and took forever to unpack (you do the maths!). I must admit I was getting a tad impatient to see all my purchses as the minutes ticked away and the pile of sticky tape strips grew.
I’m off to get another mug of coffee now and look at my Chihuly tome. TTFN.
