Over ordering!

This strange period is producing some odd effects. I have been careful with food...only ordering just enough and not wasting anything....it’s an old habit born in hard times. Wasting anything is bad but wasting food is a crime for anyone brought up during the war. Yes I am that old! But yesterday on trying to reorganise shelves in my sitting room I found a new problem. I had definitely over ordered one thing. Alcohol. Bottles of booze line various cupboards and sit on book shelves in comradeship with novels and poetry books. Gosh....I don’t drink heavily at all but I have clearly taken no chance of running out. Of either wine or the hard stuff. Some of it I had genuinely forgotten about. But putting it all together means that whatever else I run out of it won’t be alcohol. Some of it is gin based, some whiskey. I’ve had fun ordering too. The beefeater Blackberry gin sits with the Glenfiddich very nicely. There are a lot of bottles. I’ve clearly just been adding extra every time I’ve done any sort of a shop. Running out of space in cupboards I’ve now put some bottles on my bookcase in the sitting room. This is not a good look....I must remember to talk to people in my study until I can put some in cupboards ...or better yet drink it. The pink strawberry Beefeater looks very inviting..... ahem!
