I don’t know if it is just me but I am finding odd things missing on the shelves. The sort of crackers I prefer were unavailable for five weeks. Eggs. Screwdrivers. Just weird things that are not always on the shelves at the shops. Possibly this has something to do with supply chains going through Victoria?
Also, we went to get roller skates for Ruby. The first place had no stock left and referred us to the markets. The market had one set left in her size. They said that they had been sending skates to Saudi Arabia and America as they had just had a spate of unusual online orders from overseas. The guy at the shops speculated that the virus meant that China was not sending products to the USA so they were instead scooping up ones already sent to Australia. Hmmmm, American friends does this sound plausible?
I am wondering whether I am paranoid, whether this is a mere market blip, or if this is a moment I will look back on as the beginning of a substantial change in my way of life.
