Not sure how much this is to do with Jack Monroe @BootstrapCook but there now seems to be a supermarket price war. Every single item on our Tesco delivery today is down in price. Whatever, Good work Jack. (FAO @mrjamesob )

Mum has had 2020's kits and is now in need of some feeding up... so she sits and waits at our door for an egg, or lump of cheese. Bertie dog furious of course. (You may have to click on the image to see all of it).

This is what delivery drivers see when they arrive here. An utterly hopeless guard dog (thank goodness). Tesco drivers apparently say they're 'off to see Bertie today'.

@mrjamesob PM saying 'Don't panic buy' reminds me of when a teacher once said 'I'm stepping out for a few minutes, on no account should anyone one look into this box'. The box was empty of course, and the teacher came back and just said 'And that is what's called human nature'.

This is Callum (aka Colin). Unlike every other deer around here, who spend their days wandering the hills foraging for food, he just stands in a car park and waits for tourists to feed him. He's been there for years, so it's obviously working for him.
