turpsTinker's ashes finally came home today. She was due home yesterday but we had a load of snow overnight so when I woke up on Monday morning everything was white. This meant the delivery couldn't get to the vets. Though, ridiculously, by midday, all the snow was gone from here. It was literally around for all of 12 hours or so and then no sign.
Unpacking her box we found they hadn't included her fur and footprint as requested, but thankfully it was just a case of the vets not putting them in the box, so we'll get them tomorrow. She's on the shelf next to her sisters and dog brother now, and I feel glad she's home.
We've also been to the cinema to see Ordinary Love, it was a silver screen viewing meaning I got my free cup of coffee, in fact, two free cups as I got James' too. I liked the film, I expected to come out feeling depressed as it's about a couple dealing with the wife having breast cancer, but instead it was more thought-provoking.
Then after that had a pick up from Olio. It's an app which distributes food for free, either from individuals who have stuff spare they want rid of, or, what we got, someone who signs up to be a food hero and once a week gets unsold food that's going to go out of date soon from various supermarkets, and then lists it to give away free. I've checked the app for a while but usually, there's no choice, but today I saw someone had become a hero for Tesco and lived reasonably close by, so we've been there and came home with a bag full of packaged sandwiches. I also had a nice chat to the lady doing it and both agreed it's great that more supermarkets are actively trying to cut down on food waste.
We also bought some fruit and planned on making pancakes for pancake day, but honestly, I think they'll have to wait until tomorrow now. Then I'll dip into the giant Costco bag of pancake mix which has been dominating one of my kitchen shelves for over a year now.
