The cupboard was bare

It's not as awful as it looks or sounds. I got a couple of cups out of the bottom of this tin, that'll keep me going till I get to the shops later :)

There's something in here though about living minimally without large stocks, and the discipline of not having what you want immediately that you want it. It's a good practice, but surprisingly hard to get a grip on. My first reaction is disappointment that something's run out again. For the time being, our shops are fully stocked and despite hand-wringing from all around, I think there'll still be some coffee for me to buy at the same price I bought it last week.

All part of the process, stuff comes from somewhere, passes through, goes somewhere else.
