Flour hard to come by too, Amazon is cleaned out of it

Same in our local Tesco - all flour, strong, plain and self raising.  It really ticks me off that the knobs who panic buy have now caused shortages where none existed.

Interestingly there seems to be plenty of yeast still available, so unless they've spent the past week or two culturing their own sourdough starters they won't be making any bread with it!

Plus, as discussed previously, they're going to have some fun with weevils in a few weeks  ;D

Yeast had vanished off the shelves here by last week - B'ham evidently has people who know how to bake!

Delivered without comment, but Matt Hancock has also tested positive for Coronavirus.

Johnson should probably have NOT shaken hands with sufferers and instead kept to the medical advice.

Still, I suppose they're demonstrating the herd immunity even if Cummings is fleeing!

I have "Yakketty Sax" in my head now!

The CMO is not good, here's hoping it's a mild dose :S

I've seen the lyrics for the Queen variant, but not heard it and they've done a good job.

They have, Steve. :)

Just been hunter-gathering in the local village.  :D

Was only going down there once this weekend.....(I'll forego the Sunday paper....That would be extracting the urine, at this time.)

The one trip got knocked on the head, when I was about to drive into the Farmers' Co-op's yard.....To get some (basically) essential bits and bobs.... 'cos of this bug'.
"Aw pants !".....Big notice at the gate....."Shop is closed to customers......Please phone in your requirements..arrange a time slot to collect....Your order will be left outside on a pallet for you to pick up."

Drive home...phone up...place order..pay

Hey - Ho !  ;)......At least I know the score now ;D ;D ;D.....And I easily got hand sanitiser.....and the gloop that James (Sunray) was suggesting.....They were even trying to sell me surface cleanser...."Thanks, Gonk (yes really)...We're fine for that at the mo' "

What a very strange World we're having to deal with, just now.

Take care, Chums - Phil
