Oh Dear! Another record! Each day is a "most ever" day and yet I assume that by now "self-isolation" must be a normal part of life!?
Our weather today, as forecast, has been very conducive to a "stay indoors" day. Cold, wet and windy; most un-Australian! sad
Your photos convey an air of tranquility, Grandad; Of course I had to consult Dr.Google as to their whereabouts; West of Bristol in "zummerzet', but apart from some nice looking houses there was no clue as to what "Pill" means! My guess would have been "Hill", but that doesn't fit as it looked fairly flat.
Good to see Boris back on his feet even if a bit wobbly, but the physios are on to him I'm sure.!
Just going to tweak the cen .heating up a couple of notches prior to bed-time as it's getting a bit chilly. sad
Thankfully the idea of 1st. class/3rd class membership seems to have resolved itself in favour of class-less membership! That's what democracy is all about. smile
Anyway, I need some YouTube to liven things up a bit so;
Good health wine

Pill is a village Rufus2.

Very hot here Rufus, quite early to have this kind of weather here, still I hate the cold so small mercy.

Beautiful spring weather here. Almost cruel really. Bright blue skies, daffodils, new growth bursting out of the trees and shrubs - and all we can do is look out at it! The birds must be wondering what's going on.
I watched 'Ladies in Black' a film set in 1950s Sydney and it reminded me how much I'd loved Sydney. Don't suppose we'll ever return there but Oz is a great country.

My D is not far from Sydney--Allambie Hts, which in Aborigine terms means peaceful place. Northern suburbs.
I love the place and its fabulous coastal walks. My GS's share a house with their mates at Dee-Why near to the beach but it's out of bounds.

I trust you are keeping well Rufus2 in this strange world known as lockdown-under, although my personal fear is that it will unlock too soon as this virus has a habit of doing a U-turn.

Australia was once a classless society as I knew it when I first visited it in 1982, but over the years I also saw changes, some not always for the better but we have to move with the times.

Always had some good laughs on my hols there.
Stay safe and well cobber. G'night.
