It is nice to have plenty of food in, and 5 people inevitably need quite a lot. I heard today Tesco are reintroducing rationing on some things - including loo paper again! Seems we're back at March lunacy.

Think the press do a lot of scaremongering which doesn’t help and cannot believe that the uk are the only country in the world with the new strain of the virus. Anyway off to Mr T tomorrow just for a few bits and bobs. Hoping it’s not too busy. I worked there until I retired earlier this year so I used to get everything when I was in work. It’s a relief when all the shopping is done. Hoping for a quiet Xmas eve.x

The new strain is in lots of other countries not just the UK. This not letting the lorries out of the country is the EU throwing their toys out of the pram because they’re worried they won’t be able to fish in our waters.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
