"Two things I noticed when shopping in ALDI and Tesco today: 1) 90% wore masks - surprising 2) the flour shelves were empty - not surprising, but at least I picked up the last two packs! I guess we'll soon be back to the Covid days of homebaking " Dont really watch main stream media,are lockdowns looming or what ? | |||

"Last time I made a similar comment about the percentage of people wearing masks post restrictions I was called a liar. Nice to know I'm not the only one to see it. " Last week ALDI was at about 60% mask wearing (with a quick scan), this week it has shot up to almost 100%. | |||

"Well Ukraine is known as the breadbasket of Europe because of the amount of wheat it produces. So not surprised to hear about flour flying off the shelves" Might see an emergence of home baking pics here over the next few weeks/months but for very different reasons this time | |||

"Anyone planning to go gluten free, now is the time!" I quit bread many years ago, Dirk joined me from October. Neither of us looking back. Occasional sourdough bloomer or nice special fresh loaf now and then with some homemade soup is our hight of bread or anything flour related consumption. Kids love their crepes, so we do always keep a bag of flour handy Missus | |||

"Yea apparently there will be a shortage of flour and prices likely to rise and also the price of bread. You'll have people buying flour now that will probably never even use it " I'd say a lot of people still have nearly all the unused flour from the last lockdown panic-buy | |||

"This time last week about 10% of people in my local shop wearing masks. Today it was definitely about 50% but mainly the older generation. Was on luas on Sunday afternoon it was packed and only about 5 people wearing masks. Interesting to see what its like this weekend. Not a single child in my son's class is currently wearing one " Interesting. Has been around 90% across the board wearing masks from what I’ve observed between shops, Dee's workplace, public transport and the primary and secondary school kid's classes. A far cry from the 1% some were saying a couple of weeks ago. | |||

"I'm still wearing my mask, covid is still doing the rounds, it hadn't miraculously fecked off, know a few people who have been hit hard with it and they healthy fit people.

And 0% in my kids schools are. " As well as 90% of people out and about in shops or using public transport. Btw my two eldest go to school in separate counties. One in Dublin (primary school) she told me most are wearing masks in the school (even the classes that didn't have to before) secondary school child said here in Kildare maybe 10 pupils in their year aren't wearing masks (troublemakers who didn't wear them properly in the first place) Dee works in another county in a customer facing role. 3 of her staff of 12 aren't wearing masks while most of her customers are wearing masks. Surveys are being conducted currently about people wearing masks by a friend of mine doing his masters. 85% of his respondants are wearing masks dues to covid being an ongoing issue. His survey is ongoing and will be for another few months but has had nearly 80 people respond online so far. | |||

We do eat: Meat, vegetables, eggs, cheeses, fruit, more vegetables, crazy amounts of olive oil and butter Since October Dirk lost all weight he put on in last 3 years. I am not as active for obvious reasons, so mine is shifting slower. That aside - our diet is now full of good nutrients and vitamins that no bread would ever replace | |||
