Or you're on the other side, posting that.

Can't be, or you'd have seen him on the way past.

Beautiful Wife reports that there's no pasta at the local shop because some plonkers have started panic buying. Sometimes I think we deserve to disappear in a pandemic.

As an aside, North Tyrol has just been declared "at risk" and anyone who was there this month has been asked to stay at home for two weeks. This includes a teacher at Middle Son's school, who has now been teaching there for five days and ran a parents evening, so if she has it, we've all got it, as has Beautiful Daughters Kindergarten and the clients at the protected workshop I visited on Tuesday...

Someone bought forty 2kg bags at the local Tesco's, clearing the shelf in the process.

Marmite stocks running low!

When the Marmite runs out, they'll have to settle for Vegimite or nothing.

All we need now is heavy snow forecast, and it'll be the "end of the world" for some.

Actually, they mentioned the stockpiling on the 6pm news, to which one expert retorted "it's just like Christmas" (when the shops are shut for one day)

I managed to set the smoke alarms off cooking tea tonight, our alarms are mains powered with battery backup, once one gets set off the other two join in, my Good Lady wasn't impressed.
