That time of year thou mayst in me behold
- Sonnet LXX111
.. when I have to make a decision again. Not a life-changing one or an important one about which political blogs to nominate to Iain Dale, which has much exercised James today, but a totally trivial one about how to use the 3000 supermarket points I have accumulated since January. [Regular readers may remember that I acquired a smart set of saucepans then.] This time the four items that have caught my eye in the catalogue are:
1. A foot spa. Nice to have but how often would I use it? It is also rather large and would have to be stored somewhere.
2. A tower fan. I have air conditioning only in the living room so this would be handy for the bedroom. It would save carting a table top fan from room to room at night and this one has a timer on it. [Last night I fell asleep and had the small fan going all night.] But here we are at the end of July. The fan would probably take 4 weeks to arrive and by then the worst of the heat will be over.
3. A microwave. I've managed without one for two years, though. The one in the catalogue is a good make but again, it is large and I would have to buy, or have made, a surface to put it on.
4. An MP3 player. Hmmm.....
What would you do?
