nice veg!

when I got home today I was surprised to see a box of fruit and vegetables on the work-top in the kitchen. what is so strange about that. well not much actually. but this one is not from the supermarket, still not strange, they are organic, still not strange.

the strange thing is that we have never done the veg shop this way before. the riverford organic vegetable company delivered our veg box today, its the one when you don't really know what is going to arrive so the haricot beans were substituted with sweet potatoes.

the real strange bit was the total lack of packaging just a cardboard box with stuff in it. I can't thin why we never did it before. i remember my mother getting fruit & veg like this when I was a small child in the 1960's, so nothing new just new to me today. 

unwrapped organic real fruit and veg, now that is a cool brand.

surprised that I am surprised >>

I mentioned before this week that I have been having trouble with my phone (a blackberry) in fact it stopped working completely today. and after restoring the operation system as well as trying to diagnose the problems myself with it without any luck. I gave up and called orange knowing that the phone was over 6 months old so I didn't expect much if anything, but after the nice customer service adviser spoke to her supervisor a new blackberry will be delivered by courier in the morning!  I am surprised that I am surprised but I am. I do spend a lot on phone bills and use orange broadband for home, but I didn't expect a good outcome. my crack-berry habit will now continue whether that is a good thing is another story. just thought I would be positive about a mobile phone company for a change. I hope I am not disappointed tomorrow.

oh well >>

so very often I am surprised at the way things work out.
today things work-wise have not worked out in a way that I would have liked. (if fact I am very disappointed).
I wonder if we only remember stuff when it goes against what we would have liked, rather than when it worked for us.
hopefully I will learn from today and be better if there is ever a next time. (and there is sure to be more disappointment on the way).
