Off to do some food shopping↓

I bumped into an ex-co-worker who I used to work with at 

 If it got any worst with panic buying, and soldiers would be called out. She would argue with a soldier with a loaded gun if she had too, she told me.

Good luck with that! I told her.

There was a nice sewing machine for sale↓

 

 I have two, I don't need a third!

We go into Lidl and there is no pasta, bread or toilet roll again.

I bump into a good friend trying to find some dried spaghetti.
