Wheat Embargo

I should seriously stop watching the News. Bread, here in Croatia, and maybe in the rest of Europe, is alredy very expensive due to the Recession. To make the situation worse, Russia, the biggest exporter of wheat in the world, had announced a ban on wheat exports due to the recent fires destrroying many hectares of wheat fields.

This will make the already expensive bread prices shoot upwards together with other wheat products.

I only hope that the Recession will not become the Great Depression like that of the 30s or that of the 80s which caused people in Croatia and all of ex-Yugoslavia to cue up for hours in order to get thee most ordinary articles such as coffee, washing powder,sugar and PETROL (which makes me think what would an OIL embargo look like).

We have already experienced what a gas embargo looks like a few years ago when we were freezing our heads off (since the more appropriate word is inappropriate) ude to a tiff between Yurshenko and Putin. To make the situation more (tragi) comical I happened to be skiing at the moment and spent every evening begging all the forces of good for the tiff to stop and for Putin to switch the gas pipe back on.

I always complain about thhe depressive news until someone brings me back from the clouds and tells me that's pretty much a job description of the News lol.

Advice: Dear world leaders, please try not to settle your conflicts by switching of a pipeline feeding all of Europe with gas.

Hope: We won't need to cue up for bread for two hours only to find out it's gone when it's our turn. Oh, and hopeffully it won't cost 20 pounds.
