There are all kinds of shortages on the island – potatoes, cheese, 2% milk – I don’t even know what else. The ship has just come from the Cape, but didn’t bring many things it should have, and there was some mix-up with potatoes. I haven’t had good potatoes for such a long time that I was disappointed not to have any, so when one of our church ladies offered some to me, I accepted very happily!
There was a smash’n’grab in town recently, the first one we’ve heard of since being here. Someone broke two windows of a shop in town, and took out whatever merchandise they could reach. Although it’s a petty and non-violent crime, it’s still a huge news event, and almost makes one want to lock doors.
