Almost Foiled

I've been in Glasgow for two days of scans and, today, my Drugs Trial review. All that was very successful and routine. I'm on the Trial for another 16 weeks until the next review.

However after my MRI scan at Ross Hall Hospital on Monday I decided to have a bite to eat. All that was left was some excellent soup and a sandwich. I can't even remember what the sandwich was because all my time and mental effort was taken up trying to get into the sandwich wrapper.

Am I the only person who finds some of these things absolutely frustrating?

Too Much Wrapping

I was reasonably certain that CJ or Ian had done a posting on plastic wrapping (other than Ian's recent A Month Without Plastic ) but I can't find one. Anyway yesterday when I was at Intermarché I saw what, to me, is more ludicrous than any other piece of shrink wrapping that I've ever come across: shrink wrapped oranges. Even worse is that it's here in France where fruit and vegetables seem generally to be fresher and more 'straight from the farm' than we are used to in the UK.
