Guten Tag!
We had a couple of gorgeous days and I enjoyed short breaks on the balcony, but now it is rather dim outside.
When we did our shopping yesterday the shops were medium full. People queued mostly sensible and while pasta and loo paper were still rare we did manage to get kitchen paper (one batch only).
In German we call panic buying "hamster buying" and stockpiling "Hamstern". We did do a dwarf hamster buy, as we don't want to go out that often anymore. But no real stockpiling.
The local pet shop had a sign saying that hamster buying was morally wrong - except at their shop.
I guess when all this is over the eagle will no longer be the German national animal - it will be a hamster instead. I will be at the forefront with new designs for the parliament, coins and so on.
