When rummaging around in my kitchen for food the other day, I noticed I was running a little short of groceries. It was time to do a ‘big shop’. To avoid one of life’s major stresses – traipsing around a Bristol-based superstore on a Sunday afternoon – I arranged for Asda to delivery to my flat.
All was going well – I even managed to find a voucher for free delivery. The problem arose when the groceries arrived and I began to unpack the frozen food – mainly pizzas and ice cream (all healthy items, naturally).
While the products were supposed to be frozen, they had actually thawed out. Now either the driver had left these items in the glove compartment of the delivery van, or the onboard freezer had broken.
Needless to say, with a tear in the corner of my eye, I threw the pizzas and ice cream in the bin. Asda refunded me for all the frozen items, including some ready meals, which, by luck, appeared to remain frozen and I will probably eat at a later date. It was a very sombre moment – the coffee ice cream is normally so nice.
Incidentally, if anyone wants to risk salmonella in return for free pizzas and liquid ice cream; feel free to raid the dustbins outside my flat.

About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
