Are 'they' out to get me?

If I were being paranoid, I'd say that 'they', whoever 'they may be, are trying to thwart me.

Everything I try to buy is not available. I'm faced with an empty space on that shelf. Whatever it is: basmati rice, my favourite yoghurt, potato salad, remoulade sauce, sour cherries in a jar and photocopying paper (to name but a few at my local supermarket), Ohropax wax earplugs (at DM, a drugstore) and gluten-free pizza bases and raisin bread (in Zur Heide, a smart food store). 

I did ask one of the women at the supermarket if this was because of delivery problems and she said yes. Whether it is because of Putin's attack on Ukraine, I don't know. But it does seems strange that it's all the stuff I just happen to want right now. I guess I should be lucky, though, that it's not much worse. At present, anyway.
