A Win and a Fail

Thank you for all the good wishes. Kate - I get five gallons of white vinegar delivered every few months and I always, always apologise.

Today people have been slightly better. From what I can see, however, is that things come and go in waves, so I'm taking each day as it comes and working out isolation from day of last symptom.

Today I had three deliveries. The first was unremarkable and some hot chocolate from the stationery company, Viking. The second was from a sandwich shop called Lean Lunch which normally specialises in delivering healthy snacks, but currently are also offering fruit and veg boxes. The third was from a local delivery company called Beelivery which I think operates in a lot of areas.

The veg box from Lean Lunch was awesome! It was delivered with some noodles for bear (he was ambivalent) and was spectacular. I remembered to take a photo after I had removed the raspberries, the courgettes and the chicken breasts.


It's all lovely fresh stuff. I don't think you can see the fresh chili or the fresh ginger, but there is a lot of good stuff. We had some of the chicken tonight, and I put courgette, sweet potato and red onion, all diced, in a glass dish with some oil and some stock powder and microwaved for twenty minutes. This was a success. Tomorrow is casserole with the rest of the chicken and some of the great veggies.

I also had the Beelivery delivery. The young lad who delivered seemed lovely, but it was so expensive. I asked for both gluten and non gluten bread, but they only got gluten stuff, so I shall manage without (not really a huge hardship), and the mark up was bad. They delivered grapes which cost me £2.59 but were price marked at £1. I'm glad I know it exists, and while we are desperate I may consider it for bread, but it is not something I could recommend. The site is horrible to get around as well.

I've also been cold all day, so I hope I'm not having another run in with the dratted thing.

Hugs and good health to all.

  1. The veg box looks good - we are still managing to get all we want at Sainsbury's so far but my sister has resorted to a veg box so she doesn't have to go out shopping whilst she is going over to mum's place to look after her most days. You just can't be too careful with this virus. Stay safe. x

  2. Those vegetables look very fresh and good! I hope bear and your husband continue to feel better and you don't get sick, again! Wishing you all good health!
