Here - all on-line shopping & deliveries with the major supermarkets has been cancelled. They've simply have ceased the service completely - at least for the time being.

Too many were hitting it up as a means to avoid the mass queue for the TP isle.

Yeah, stripped supermarket shelves is now the new normal here too.

Everything out, or very short. Even fresh stuff.

Local big name supermarkets have just setup a "old and infirm" only shopping hour betwix 7 and 8 am - so they have a chance before the crazy mass are allowed in after 8 am.

It's nuts. Completely crazy how "normal" folk are so over-reacting.


Like other places around the globe, many normal things are getting canned - all big gatherings. Theatre, sports, conventions and such. Talk of the need for harsh triage to decide who gets treatment should the medical system get overrun. Scary that it may come to that.

Ummm - I had heard the mindless panic buying of bog rolls had progressed to both UK and US - this seems to confirm it. Scenes of fights between buyers over toilet rolls in supermarket isles are being reported here.

Crazy stuff.

Meanwhile I wanna coupla electronic bits and bobs for a new puter. Ordred same from China since they are not very common here. Feedback from suppliers and tracking suggests delivery might be some time before early 2029 ... iffn I'm lucky. *sigh*



++ Oh and a few drops of "essential oil" for a "pretty smell" can be added to the above formula for hand sanitiser if that's your wish. ISO alcohol - the base component is often available from hardware and electronic parts stores too.

Not quite. Their lack of an opposable thumb means our two are still completely reliant on me to open their catfood tins. Their scheming and claws, however, ensure my compliance!

Seriously that PG in the air killing "bugs" is certainly something that ought have more current thought and attention.

Whilst I'm very light-on with my vape PG nowdays, it sorta makes you wonder, doesn't it? Maybe passenger aircraft might use PG in their airconditioning, or if it could be re-introduced into hospital airconditioning and so on.

Oz has just stated we are officially in a pandemic and set in motion all sorts of "virus activities". Nothing about adding PG (or any other anti bacterial/disinfectant) into the air in high risk areas such as places where large numbers of the public gather.

Maybe it is not all that useful, donno I'm not "sciency", but surely it's worth some consideration?

Yes, I've read of some of those things. And I'm damned sure the frustrations would have annoyed me greatly - and, likely, pushed me away from vaping. That's why I've respect for you and those like you who pushed thro and helped the rest of us who followed.


You talk about not seeing another vaper for months at a time in those early days ... well, I sorta wonder about the differences between our two countries, as I still will go months between seeing another vaper. Granted, I'm not in the big city anymore, no longer gathering outside the office with others in the "smoking lounges", but even so, on our recent roadtrip holidays, it was notable rather then usual to see someone vaping. Maybe I do not move in the right circles ?

Anyway - that's all aside from the main point: congrats on making it thro! 10 years. Wow.
