Into town in the morning. No queue at all in Boots (and the makeup aisles were open) or in M&S. I'd noticed yesterday in the Tesco Express that the atmosphere was calmer and the shelves better stocked. The first time the pasta shelves were empty was Thu Mar 12, so the difficulties (part 1?) lasted 6 weeks.

That suggests my guess of 10 weeks' no deal disruption à la three-day week wasn't a bad one. The thing to do, I think, is to amalgamate the no-deal and Survival caches into one, to last at least 13 weeks and preferably 26 weeks.

Interesting that the two caches don't quite overlap: I didn't anticipate needing to cache makeup, because I thought no-one would care what people looked like during no deal. But of course when you're trying to access resources under pressure, it's easier if you look good.

Really I should be doubly grateful that my no deal preparations were useful for the plague, and that the plague was - is - a useful practice run for no deal.
