I just got back from being across to our village supermarket and other than them still having no dextrose the shelves and fridges are all looking pretty full now especially the paper towel, tissue and T.P. aisle.

Cheers.

I went over to our village supermarket yesterday to get Dog some food plus a roll of gasless wire for the MIG and noticed that all the shelves, fridges and freezers were all full again so I'll be fine to buy another 18 roll pack of TP in a week or 2, but they will have to get some more MIG wire as I got the last roll.

I also ducked in to the ag shop next door yesterday and got three 8m lengths of gal 25mmx50mmx2mm RHS passed over the fence for a few projects that I can do around here that will also use up a bit more of my stored left over building materials (2x 6.4m lengths of 20mmx45mmx1.6mm RHS, some corrugated steel roofing offcuts, 8 timber bed posts plus an assortment of other stuff) and which will also give me a bit more room in the shed. I'm just waiting for the sun to warm that steel up a bit before I start cutting it up (it was 4C, but felt like 2C, here this morning).

So that should keep me socially distanced for a while longer. ;-)

Cheers.

1 thing I found that the supermarket is out of today and that's 10 packs of 115mm (4.5") cutting disks. :-(

I'll pay the ag shop next door another visit in the morning. ;-)

Anyhow I got most the parts for a new queen sized bed frame cut today (the main frame at least is done), but some brackets will still have to be cut yet (when I actually know what type I need/want to attach it to the timber bed posts).

At least tomorrow I won't have to use the old hacksaw and mitre box as the rest of the cutting doesn't need to be so accurate as today's cuts and can be quickly cut with the angle grinder instead (once I get some more cutting disks for it) before a bit of clean up grinding is done on all the parts.

Happy social distancing.

Cheers.
