Around here

The world is in such a state at the moment with this health crisis.  I wasn't particularly worried about it 2-3 weeks ago however as the weeks go by and the rate of infection increases and spreads from country to country it is a worry.  I'm not sure why Australia is in a grip of "toilet roll fever" and flour and rice as well, however I did buy my supply of toilet paper yesterday morning.  Health crisis or no health crisis, we had run out and I was due to buy some in my normal shop so I did.  I ended up back at the supermarket in the evening and the end of the isle where they had a big supply of toilet rolls was empty and although I didn't bother going down the toilet roll isle it seemed every person had some in their shopping trolley.

It's had a huge impact on global tourism, the world stock market, and events are being cancelled left, right and centre.  The stock market affects superannuation and investments however the stock market has recovered over the years with these types of crisis in the past so there is no need to panic.  I think some of these things are necessary to at least slow things down and to protect people since there is currently no known cure.  One person gets on a plane and sits near people, then those people catch trains, buses, taxis and go to shopping centres and mix with other people who in turn do the same thing.  You can see why these things are on the move so quickly and all we can do is keep up with the hygiene which we should be doing anyway by washing hands thoroughly etc.

It's been a quiet week here so I only have a few photos to share.

The lettuces are coming along nicely.
