I am not hoarding toilet paper! It would be futile to try as there is none available in Coles and although I haven't checked supplies in Farmer Jack I suspect that their shelves will also be empty. Farmer Jack did have skim milk yesterday but not a lot and I snagged the last carton in Coles. I normally buy four cartons at a time and freeze them so I am OK for a while but will be upset if yoghurt disappears. Fruit and vegetables are fresh and abundant; probably locally grown.
The only thing which I have stocked up is cat food and litter. If all else fails and they eat through my stock they will be reduced to eating anti-furball pellets which they do not like at all and which I have only because they refuse to eat them. For litter they will have to make do with shredded newspaper if all else fails.
One of the local wine shops is advertising that they will give away one toilet roll with every bottle of wine they sell. I think that is brilliant. Senor B702 is here and safe. I thought that he had gone back to Italy but he told me that he had been advised to stay here for now. My only real worry is the air conditioning in this building. It tends to blow through even when it is not turned on which makes me wonder how much air we are all sharing.
The stock market has gone bearish and so this morning I ordered four pairs of linen trousers from Shukr.com . I obviously haven't yet let the Stock Market crash upset me too much. I have sat out bear markets several times on the theory that I can't lose money until I sell, which I do not intend to do.
My main concern is D2 who is an emergency physician and will be firmly on the front line but hopefully things will not get too bad here. I have been told that Perth is the most isolated capital city in the world.
The Limerick:-
There was a young lady named Smith
Whose virtue was mostly a myth.
She said, "Try as I can
I can't find a man
Who it's fun to be virtuous with."
