Anyone Been To The Shops Today?

[bednobs]

is it a bit more normal out there?

[iluvmargie]

Went to Asda this morning, got everything I needed. They even had bog roll. At the till, they wouldn't let you have more than three of anything which in my opinion should have been implemented from the very beginning. Goodness knows what will happen if total lockdown comes in though, people still have to shop.

I have just got back from my local shop, I managed to get some milk. The shelves and freezer were just about totally empty.

Will probably go at old folks time on Wednesday.

What I forget to mention is that they were handing-out bunches of flowers to any NHS staff. I guess they were ones which hadn't been sold due to the odd Mothering Sunday situation but, nevertheless, a nice gesture.

I've found it's a bit better but still no toilet roll. Chilled were a little depleted. Wanted a chicken for tomorrow but all gone. I bought a boxed frozen chicken breast with stuffing in the end.

[iluvmargie]

That is indeed a lovely gesture bhg.

just back from medium-sized Sainsburys, no toilet roll, not even ordinary tissues for noses. Not a lot of alcohol left either. Food supply okay, though. It wasn't rammed but quite a few people in there and I couldn't social-distance the whole time.

Paracetamol is getting hard to find, though, and it's the only painkiller my OH can tolerate.

[jno]

oh, and they have barriers up outside: NHS staff only, 7.30-8am.

[marval]

What surprised me on my way home was an ice cream van was going round. It went into a turning with its music blaring, I didn't think that would happen.

[jno]

perhaps the driver was dead at the wheel?

[pastafreak]

The ice cream van has been showing up here, also. If I had little ones I'd not be letting them buy from it.

No shopping. Stayed in studio painting. Touched up one oil. Started new big oil, started one acrylic.
