Yesterday Twitter aficionados (i.e. journalists) was rattling on about lavatory paper shortages <yawn>. Today, on early morning radio the Prime Minister said he was going to speak to the supermarkets about the shortage of lavatory paper - I'm not making this up..
Late this afternoon I dropped into my local supermarket for some milk and ricotta.
In some countries people have to stand in line to get small amounts of cash from ATMs when there's a run on the banks. Not here, here people have to stand in lines to cart away vast quantities of lavatory paper, which is all our dollar is worth right now. I saw them with my own eyes.
It seems that by 11am we had a run on the lavatory paper shelves at all the supermarkets across this wide brown land. Thanks Scotty, a lavatory paper led recovery. If we do have a lavatory paper shortage it's probably because all the trees went up in smoke.
But the good news is: my copy of The Mirror and the Light is waiting to be picked up. Eight year wait, better be good. Dilemma: Should I finish Anarchy before starting it.
