OH MY....

Down here there are grapevine statements like the store can ask you to leave at once. Not too sure if that is the case, I do know for fact verbal abuse against staff will get you removed which granted is different.

And rightly so but my two visits since the lockdown have given me the impression people are polite to one another especially since the panic buying has stopped, due mainly to rationing.

I must admit I got told off by the wife on my return because despite having about thirty toilet rolls in one of the garages I couldn't resist picking up a twenty four pack when I saw the aisle fully stocked.

The only item I can't source atm is peppermint cordial for my rum so last night I tried it with coke (as was my only option in Mexico) and was pleasantly surprised.

Jim, rationing is almost over apart from a very very few items, I placed the news story in the virus thread. Too sum up all the major Supermarkets are now operating as normal, I raised the point is that wise. After all what happened and this situation is going to last a very long time.

It's a pity the same can't be said about some of the Australian beaches.

Default The true nature of domestic bliss

I'm watching "Love after Lockup" and wondering if they will create "Love after Lockdown"...24/7 with the woman-of-my-dreams (40yrs!)is a tad stressful when she has a cabin-fever induced rant...but I've learned to claim "my hearing-aid batteries are low dear!"...

There;s a public bus route about fifty yards away and I'm struggling to remember the last time I saw a passenger on the bus.

Good thing really as it shows the lock down is having some effect.

My pal in Sydney just messaged to say he's received the commissioned painting I sent him (just 12 days ago).The customs documentation was a bit of a nightmare but it looks as though it went through without a hitch... what a relief
