My Dear Princess and Dear Fellows,

In these times of global stupidity, it has been impossible to get hold of certain items. 

Not toilet roll. Nor bread. Not here, anyway. People haven't gone too nuts in NZ, despite the scenes from the US and Australia of people punching each other in the face over a six pack of two-ply.

But hand sanitiser. Now that's something else. People are bonkers for the stuff, even though we keep being told that it is not as effective as good old soap and water. Caro wanted to buy some too, but none was to be had.

Miranda has a supplier. 

This does not surprise me.

She called Caro last night and they had a whispered conversation about Miranda getting some couriered to our address. A price was arranged and the deal went down. 

So now we are the proud owners of this HUGE bottle of the stuff. I could sanitise my FEET if I wanted to. The order also included latex gloves. I have no idea how Miranda got hold of those.

Anyway. The price. Eighty-eight NZD. 

HOW MUCH???

NO hand sanitiser for you! Not if you're only going to use it on FILTHY hands! 

Only if you have FECKING GANGRENE and your arm is hanging off by a TENDON do you get to use this stuff!
