Do all connubial unions eventuate felicitously?

The circus is in town! In keeping with the ban on gatherings over 100 people, they have dropped their capacity from 900 to 90 people per show. Not that I would go at the best of times, but you couldn't pay me to enter that tent just now. Coronavirus AND clowns, what fun.

There was an advertisement for a cruise holiday on TV tonight. The tagline was WONDER MORE. "Wonder more... WHAT YOU'LL CATCH," said my mother. Something else that doesn't appeal to me in general, and not now in particular.

The independent supermarket I went to for cat food the other day was giving out two free toilet rolls per customer today. I didn't go; we have enough. The older lady who works in accounts payable has been fretting about her dwindling supply, especially with her sister coming to stay this weekend, so she hurriedly made a list of groceries she needed to buy during her lunch break and duly collected her free rolls. Later in the afternoon, one of the IT guys came into our office. He'd been doing some work for us yesterday and heard her saying how she couldn't buy toilet rolls, so when he bought something at that supermarket during his lunch break, he claimed his two free rolls and donated them to her. She was thrilled.

There was an interesting article in The Conversation today about supply chains and demand. In Australia, we are apparently about three weeks away from getting back to normal toilet paper supplies, probably a little longer for pasta, probably much longer for hand sanitiser. Good to know.

Perhaps next time I might write an entry that doesn't involve toilet paper.
