I had just enough to get my 2-cup dose on Sunday morning, then it was out to 
find some more. I can always walk to a cafe or bakery on my street, or go to 
the corner shop to buy some; but then it's expensive. If I want to get it at 
a decent price, it means an expedition. But now my stock is replenished, and 
ought to last me until the first week of next month.
