WE noticed small white vans delivering what looked like halves of pigs to local butchers in Ferreries about 1 o´clock today. We also noticed chicken and egg wagons doing dodges down the backstreet of villages to avoid Tortosa town. So some produce is getting out.

Maybe this is the time to be more neighbourly and exchange your surplus for some produce you need.

Folk wonder how long this will go on for? How long can the truck drivers families live with no wage coming in? I hear if they don´t work, they don´t get paid. No union wage to back them up.

Also be aware of anyone living alone, elderly or vulnerable and see if you can help them out or share a meal.

I ask people to shop with care. Buy what you need or have run out of. Do not shop like World War 3 is about to hit.

Fuel shortage and I have not heard of anyone considering or asking to "Car Share". This morning I noticed there seemed to be twice as many cars up at Verga de la Cinta hospital, where I was expecting less.
