convenient
Ready at hand
Convenient describes what suits your needs or saves effort.
A convenient location is easy to reach.
A convenient time works well with your schedule.
Something convenient is ready at hand when you need it: I keep a flashlight in a convenient spot.
The word can carry a faint suggestion of being too easy or suspiciously well-timed: a convenient excuse, a convenient memory lapse.
