Another nice morning but still a cold wind. We used to get this every year about this season of year and when I lived in Bowling I took the opportunity of going eastwards as coming home I would have the wind behind me. Had my now usual trip up the Mishnish Lochs this morning and managing to push a higher gear uphill now so improving slowly but cannot get the distance without repeating the same bit over again which gets boring. More traffic than usual but slightly earlier in the morning than before.
Somebody reported to the volunteers that I had looked at the Coop queue and gone away so being very old and frail obviously need assistance shopping. Got fed up with somebody on a mobile trying to phone me so eventually answered meaning to give an earful of abuse. Turns out to be somebody offering food boxes from Lidl/Aldi delivered. They cannot understand that what is in the boxes is not what I need and I do not trust anyone to do shopping to my satisfaction. Have to explain that the Coop seems incapable of organising stock deliveries from lorry load to lorry load rather that by an arbitrary clock timetable which means no stock in the morning. This person had no idea about anything much and thought that there was a pensioners time from 0800 to1000 which is nonsense. I know they mean well but sometimes since they have no background knowledge they are not much use. Whoever phoned obviously had never met me and had no idea who I was. I suspect I know who put them on to me but their motives are suspect.
