I've just had an email from my bird feed provider, telling me that due to the virus etc etc, they've had such a vast increase in online orders, they can't cope and aren't taking any new orders. What on earth is that all about????
Maybe folk are eating it if they can't get hold of their muesli I do eat quite a lot of things that the birds eat - raisins, sunflower seeds, porridge..
@Dovefromabove - there are always those who plumb the depths aren't there? Someone knows who they are, but they possibly don't care

Decided to enjoy the sunshine and do some weeding this pm. Found baby snails sat in the trumpets of my Ice Follies daffs and chomping. How very dare they!!!
They are now ex sails and their parents have been lobbed across the road into the hedgerow.

Snowflakes popped up again this year. Appeared chewed on, so I covered them with a cage-thought squirrels were to blame. Nope. Snails. Potted one up and composted the remains of the other. Such a shame.
I think people buying a bit extra is fine - there's one heck of a difference between buying an extra couple of tins of this and that and buying 10 bars of soap or... And everyone is obviously thinking about how they do cater for isolation, so buying a bit more is to be expected.And buying it over a few weeks rather than in one go stops too much pressure on the stores. But it does then raise a question as to what 'a bit more ' is eh? Oddly, saw on a news program last night about the virus in Italy, that the supermarket that the reporter went in was (from the bits shown and his comments) reasonably well stocked - and they have been on lockdown.
I see from the news that Johnson's version of a bit more might vary from mine. You may make your own jokes about why he might need a lorry load of toilet paper.
R2 is apparently playing all 90's music today. What's that about? I must have missed the reasoning... How on earth will I manage without them playing Springsteen's 'Born to Run', and Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street'?
God, I hate those two songs now

How can you hate Born to run . It contains the line " Wrap your legs 'round these velvet ribs and strap your hand across my engine" Genius.
