Count on the Co-Op...

If 'reduce, reuse, recycle' really is a mantra for our times (alongside 'oh no, the recession' and 'What do you make of that Fred Goodwin then?') then the Co-op really must get the plaudits today.

Unpacking my weekly shopping, delivered by the 'Co' via Caledonian Macbrayne, I was delighted to chance upon their choice of packing/insulation material this week.

Normally we're lucky to get a page or two of an old Press & Journal but today, having recently cancelled the Guardian Weekly subscription, I was treated to a glossy, free and fairly recent Telegraph Travel magazine. Tomorrow's breakfast need not be without its supplements!

Every little helps...oh, that's someone else.
