Still no alcohol, cigarettes sales down here, only go shopping once a week for essentials... totally boring I'd say. Weekly updates come in the way of finding creepy crawlies around the garden!
Snow in May? Sounds familiar we had snow on mountains a month ago still only in Autumn, very early start, now back to normal.
Pies look exceptionally good, beer sounded even better being in the company of friends.
Flowers not currently being sold over here either (not that I've seen) so nothing like that on Mothers day.
Thanks for sharing a little about normal and have a great week!
No beer and smokes for sale?!!? The rednecks here would revolt for sure.
Breweries were listed as essential here along with liquor stores. Not only do they help keep some of us sane, the real alcoholics would need hospital treatment and make it worse at the hospitals.
Stay safe and bored!
Crazy affair with some wishy washy reasoning which I will not go into great detail about or I would be here all day.
Yes total ban has now made illegal tobacco trade larger money spinners than the legal smokes, 2018 estimated 33% of trade was already illegal. R33M lost in tax per month, so nothing makes sense. Local news, Beer drinkers look away now. SAB has begun dumping beer. 25 thousand litres went down the drain...
Isn't life strange, now normal people are becoming criminals!
That is WILD! Where is that?
In town, there are kegs worth of beer in restaurants that can't be sold. I have been known to trade some time in the dish pit of restaurants (offering take out) in exchange for a little beer. Can't have it wasted!
South Africa, the SA Breweries are close to where we live. Beer ages, sitting for six (almost 7) weeks, oldest beer had to go with no sales.
Many are now turning to brew their own beer, yeast has become scarce, pineapples have gone sky high in pricing with many attempting home brew pineapple beers.
It is a shame washing so much down a drain, here we sit and wait! (Not so patiently.)
