I will. Buy food and paper products. Wound care products not a bad idea. After this you are on your own until the global government licenses Surrealists to offer investment advice.

I am lucky we invested in nothing. Glad I gave up the car long ago.

I am out and about in the car more now than ever. Scooting about, looking around.

Enjoying myself to the max. For tomorrow we may die.

Ha ha.

( Edit: or as my father would say, "Ha, bloody Ha.)

For a while there I thought you were giving investment tips.

My best investment so far this year has been 3 canisters of petrol. Up about 60%.

Mine has been pineapple chunks.

Trouble is, whatever you have, the time comes when you run out of it.

Money in the bank surely is a sinkhole.

Courier bags are quietly appreciating, hope to get around to selling all my junk before no one wants it and it still fits a courier bag.

Ha ha.

Right now (as in right now) I am making Christmas cakes which use seven eggs.

In case I get nostalgic for cakes made with eggs. Up to number twelve but have to deduct the four already eaten, and I only started making them middle of last month.

Enjoy life while you can.

Good keepers for when the flour is weevilized.

Another bonus Ha Ha for you.

I guess I should make some bread and freeze it. Have a freezer not being used at the moment.

Why have you not filled it with broad beans, par example.

I have yet to plug it in. I first have to install a wall plug for it.

Plus no broad beans at the moment. Cabbages, broccoli, parsley, celery are still in the garden though.

What when the lights go off.

Go on Rich, make a dozen Christmas cakes.

All the best people are doing it.

Lights are going off at Coronet Peak fairly regularly at the moment. Apparently because the dividend to keep the stadium afloat is greedy.

What's this christmas cake thing? Because they keep for a while? How long?

Interesting about Coronet Peak, as that is one of our haunts.

Xmas Cakes are also a way of storing brandy, or rum, or ... .

P.S. They are not keeping very well around my chomping family.

When I was a child a neighbour kept Christmas cakes for years in his longnjohns.

{ True enough as I saw said longnjohns and got to eat the cake within.)
