Limande chips and peas for dinner with brioche for desert.

Could be dab or flounder and frits or fries depending where you live

I don't do angry but I'm pushing the edge. Our printer stopped picking up paper, we've gone for a few weeks feeding it by hand. Anyway we ordered a new printer on Monday for delivery tomorrow.
I just received an email that it won't be delivered until Saturday. No one will be home to accept delivery on Saturday. The company tells me after despatch the delivery date cannot be changed.

In my extended neighborhood, people have packages left when they're not around, use a camera to document porch thieves and then complain about the police and our elected officials. I'm not much of a Nextdoor fan.

That would make me angry.

It was terrible before we moved here, order something and it would be slated for delivery two weeks or so after we returned to England
I'm use to the USA delivery systems and dealing with Montreal..... well... I prefer NOT to deal with Montreal. And getting repairs can be equally as maddening...thank goodness we have access to the Chinese way of doing things....otherwise it would take forever

At least you don't get the phrase "au normalment".
It's a cut down version of 'if everything is normal' meaning something along the lines of next week (or next month) so long as the wife doesn't have a bad day or the elections go my way, or we don't get visitors etc etc...

NAH, we get mostly (我会处理的) Wǒ huì chǔlǐ de (I'll take care of it)

But delieveries are different....can take 3, 4...6 weeks to get something delivered... and you can change the delivery date...but you may have just added another 3, 4, .... 6 weeks to the wait

In the US we have a song with a Latin American accent

Mañana (Is Soon Enough for Me)
...
The window she is broken and the rain is comin' in
If someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skin
But if we wait a day or two the rain may go away
And we don't need a window on such a sunny day
...
