Hi Rufus, I heard that there's another loo roll snatch about to happen here----some bare shelves for the bare bots is the order for the weekend again I'm told.
It's not the 2nd or the 3rd wave, it's the first that never left us !
We've got another 3,600 new cases as we speak so not looking good.
Well I've done the Indian-Pacific so I'll have a go on the Ghan, Adelaide to Darwin. That'll keep me out of mischief for a couple of hours because the telly is rubbish.
I watched Michael Portillo on the Austrian railway last night ( TV ) which was nice.
Just finished a plate-full of braised steak, potatoes and carrots so I'm full to the brim, ready to nod off if the truth be known, followed by a few mini tea-cakes ----choc and marshmallow. In between getting the neighbour's washing in as it looks like rain. I think she's out because the car's not there. I can't settle if I think it's going to rain, rather gather it in and be on the safe side.
Neighbour's heading to Melbourne next April, her flight's booked anyway, then she's going to Sidney. She's looking on the bright side that the virus will be gone by then.
I did have a near-miss with a red-back when sitting on daughter's step. It crept out from between the step where the cement was missing so I shot up like a rocket while daughter bashed it with the brush. I did tell her to put a glass over it and take it somewhere where they extract venom, but it was too late, though she did say there'd be another one with it but I didn't hang around long enough to find out.
I was got at in Bowral at a motel we stayed at by bull ants coming in under the gap in the door so I covered myself in calomine and used my trousers as an anti-ant excluder. All the creatures loved me
I gather your light is up and running/ shining brightly now so you can see what you're talking about.
I always think of " The Plank " when Eric Sykes is mentioned. A classic piece of film that was. You'll have to watch it sometime on you-tube.
Son-in-law's family in Oz kept their Liverpool twang after spending most of their lives in Sydney.
I originally came from near St.Helens but have lived on the Wirral most of my life.
Wirral at the moment has got a surge of cases of virus and there are fears of another lockdown. It's not looking good,
Ah well, careful as we go look after yourself and keep safe. x
