Yes: I’ve had stuff delivered from Amazon.
Small, cheap stuff, it has to be said.
Or stuff that can be easily resold at my local CeX: a copy of Class springs to mind, there.
One of those things?
Is possibly the best single purchase I’ve made on Amazon.
Yes: I’ve bought a backscratcher.
JUST to get to those awkward crevices!

One earlier purchase?
Was Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia: which I’m almost at the end of.
It’s … quite a read: telling us exactly how harsh a civil — indeed any — war can be.
And something I can’t help but quote: and recommend.
“In case I have not said this somewhere earlier in the book: beware of my partisanship, my mistakes of fact, and of the distortion inevitably caused by my having seen only one corner of events. And beware of the same things when you read any other book on this period of the Spanish war.”Chapter 12, Homage to Catalonia, George Orwell.
