I am having a virtual doctors appointment tomorrow between 9 and 11 am . Weird.

A 2 hour window?? Geez, they keep you waiting even when you aren't in their office. I ASSUME you have to sit by your phone and wait for it to ring?

I went to a supermarket today. I won't be doing that again until this bit of madness is over.
I bought 5kg of brown rice, 5kg of brown sugar, a couple of Italian pizzas, 3 jars of Sicilian pesto and some chocolate.
Only ten people allowed in the store at a time.
Disinfectant hand wash when you go in and supplied with plastic gloves which you trash on exit. Very weird.
My man down the track has a shed load of wild boar in his freezer and more smoked and dried hanging in his larder. I'm swapping eggs for meat.
Got nisperos ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loquat ) growing here and ripe so there is fruit. The cherries will come on as the nisperos fade; then the tomatoes will be edible so that's vitamin C covered.
Anything else vegetable wise I can barter for, or get in the village from the local growers.
I wish I knew a bit more about herbs for cooking. The other sort are not in short supply around here.
Give me a shout when it's all over.

Sounds like you're in pretty good shape there, Shad. Nice to have good neighbors and fairly merciful weather! And bartering tools. You use a lot of brown sugar?

Raining here not great weather to lay wire

Not really Meg. I buy in bulk certain things normally. It just so happened that I was low on sugar. I drink a lot of tea with one spoonful of sugar per cup.
I don't use the supermarkets much normally.

Okay, interesting that you use brown sugar. Or maybe not so strange, just to me? Now I'll have to try it! I wonder if our brown sugars are created equal.

I'm a bulk buyer, as well. That whole not liking to go to town thing

I told the kids I felt like we were going to prom, haha.

I use a lot of brown sugar here! Mostly in baking but I like it in oatmeal and cream of wheat

Yep, baking here, too. Never thought to try it in tea or coffee. I don't usually add to tea unless it's honey. But I do add white sugar to coffee and whole cream.
