I wonder whether anyone on the FediVerse knows what obscure #magic ritual can be performed with a box of #teeth, income tax forms from 2003, and a Sacha Distel album.
Because the relative has all three.
The income tax forms box was not labelled. I think that this was a safety precaution against any old random person rocking up and accidentally raising some ancient Mesopotamian god.
The plan is to consign the income tax forms to the flames, and keep the world safe.
The boxes of teeth are Holy Medical Relics and Must Be Kept For Future Archaeologists, apparently.
I did not dare ask about #SachaDistel after learning that.

Even more annoyingly for #Ryman #ClickAndCollect, the manufacturer of the items concerned has its own on-line system. The manufacturer doesn't do weekends, and I picked Ryman believing all of the 'Click-and-Collect TODAY' statements on its system.
I picked a collection branch near to the relative because I needed this stuff for the relative's on-going #ShedClearance, and used the branch picker to also ensure that everything was in stock. The plan was to go to the branch in the relative's town in the afternoon and collect the Same Day stuff so that I could use it immediately in the evening.
I tested the same order in the manufacturer's system.
I could have gone to the manufacturer this morning and had the same order delivered directly to the relative's house, without the trip across town, at just £10 more total including the shipping charge, by the day after tomorrow.
I could have added in some of the other items that Ryman changed the collection date on the basket because of.
