I’ve completely lost touch with petrol prices these days—cycling everywhere does that to you 😅. I can see both sides of your discussion, though: part of me agrees with trying to fill up and store, and part of me sides with Jamie. It feels like you can’t really win either way, and both options can be a bit daunting.
Also, glad you clarified it wasn’t a squirrel! 😆
I love sardines too—definitely something I picked up from my dad. Recently, I thought I’d switch back to having salmon for brekkie, but I quickly realised I actually prefer sardines 😂. My husband’s not much of a seafood fan (though he loves sushi and sashimi), but he’ll still eat my sardines because I load them up with herbs and spices.
If you’ve got the space, I think stocking up like you’re doing is a smart move — it gives peace of mind while we all hope for the best.

We also have the room under the house hahah....but I think what will be will be. Perhaps we can try fishing... We do have salmon out there but it's Australia salmon which isn't as nice. I like it smoked though.
You know from living in site I have a lot of resourcefulness should shit really happen. Certainly if we lost fuel. It's just everything is so spread out in Australia that we can't just cycle down the tow path and get to Sainsbury's easily! I have bought an electric bike I totally adore (it's also hilly here) but it's still take me two hours to get to work on a dangerous highway. Even to the next town where my mum is, twenty minutes to drive, the path is mostly a gravel track that often diverts in off-road territory. If they only spent more money on connecting twons via cycle routes!!
Ewww sardines!! They must stink out your barge!! Do you put the tin outside straight away? As I'm afraid I couldn't visit until you've fumigated the place. I go nuts at Jamie if he doesn't put the tin out immediately and wash his plate. Then I have to open all the doors. They are the ONE thing I can't abide even though I totally get why people like them! I get the super cheap ones for my chooks as a protein top up for them. Gag.
