20 people in a training room getting hungry.

i ask, only to find that the person who was meant to be bringing sandwiches was not coming today, since we’d been a little fuzzy on the details of our requirements.

aiiiiiiiiigh!

three of us – ray, tony and i – make a mad dash through pissing rain (ugh! probably no barbecue tomorrow) to the local waitrose supermarket.

baguette, ham, salami, salad, cheese, more baguette, crisps, houmous, guacamole, chocolate, even more baguette…

load up the car, and dash backwards.

20 people descend upon a table laden with food, a horde of security euro-wolves, and chomp until satiated.

…and there was still not enough baguette.

well, at any rate, it worked. people are fed.

i thank god that waitrose stocks decent ingredients.
