If I don't get them, I don't see why anyone else should.
Most specifically, the people who work in Sainsbury's.
I'm out of milk.
I head off to Sainsbury's at 8:30pm because, naturally, it's a Monday and on Mondays Sainsbury's is open until 10pm.
Half way to the cash machine, I remember that this Monday is a 'special' Monday. By which I mean, no-one but Cambridge students, doctors and air traffic controllers have to work properly (OK, and maybe a few others). Therefore Sainsbury's shuts at 6pm, which, of course, was two and a half hours ago and therefore Eni still has no milk.
There is one upside to this.
Tomorrow Eni gets to have coffee and Madeira cake for breakfast.
This is good, as it also overcomes the problem of Eni needing a caffeine kick for the exam, but being unable to stomach coffee first thing is she's had milk with breakfast.
So perhaps it was a blessing in disguise? Meh. Bleurgh.
