A thread for discussing the wild, whacky and utterly mundane of life in our isolated corner of the planet.

    Our turn to have egg shortages!
    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-13/shoppers-faced-with-egg-shortages-wa/105036582

    We go through two cartons a week in the house. This week, I went to Aldi, 2x Coles and 2x Woolies before I finally found some at IGA for $10.50/dozen (eep!). I had seen them at Spud Shed, but they were cage eggs and didn’t grab them. At that point, I had only seen Aldi, and they are always a little hit-or-miss with egg supplies - I didn’t think anything of it.

      People may complain about our strict biosecurity arrangements in this State. I will never be one of them, the costs we minimise are such a strength.

      I only hope the experience of this shot hole borer, and COVID have reinforced in Western Australian’s minds the benefits we get from using our geography and strict biosecurity. I don’t know though.
