At the beginning of the month we placed an order for 16 cans of Guinness, 3litres of JD and 3 bottles of wine. After a week it had not arrived so I called LCBO (the liquor store in Ottawa that I order from) to see what was going on. I was told that they were out of stock on the JD but should be getting some soon. The following week I received a phone call to say that the 3l bottles had been recalled due to a problem with the glass bottles. You can only import what is on your permit so I had to substitute it with another 3l bottle of spirits, I picked Canadian Club and they said it would be shipped out the next day as the shipment for that day had already gone.
I just phoned First Air cargo in Ottawa and was told that it is still sitting there, as it has been since last Friday. Apparently it will probably ship in the next couple of days as they have been really busy and are catching up. Humph. I am particularly annoyed since I had selected the bottles of wine to go well with a nice BBQ steak for Blaine and I to have a date night steak dinner and bottle of wine. He is now duty chief until we go away so can't drink half a bottle of wine, and my back hurts so I am grumpy which would not make for good date night. Ah well I guess that when it does arrive I can put it aside for a celebration after we return from Europe.
