Good Evening from a very cold Melbourne and Victoria.
This wasn’t mentioned when we signed the papers to come here; it was all about sun, sandy beaches and surf!
The snow resort operators up in North Victoria are rubbing their hands and not because they’re cold! Several cms of snow already and still one month to official start of the ski season which starts with The Queen’s Birthday holiday weekend. Another Public holiday!
Then in July we get “Christmas in July”, normally a bonanza for the restauranteers, but it will be interesting how they cope with Covid.
*Aveline” Where are you with a roaring fire at this time of year.!/
Very handy though for aiming your nutshells and orange peel.
You’re right about the Over 80s hooligans. They drive their electric scooters around the school like crazy!; Freda doesn’t like that because bumps damage her pristine duco and she wouldn’t be able to chassis like she used to! 
Owing to your lack of response and talking food I consulted Dr, Google about “Quesedilla and it turns out to be “Mexico’s answer to Pizza” Looks like pizza and probably smells like it too, judging by all the dishes on display! No after-effects, I hope!?
Wouldn’t think it goes with chocolate cake, but youngest DGS should be able to handle both!
Jaxjacky So it’s “Porto” after all that! 8,000 City fans and 8,000 Chelsea fans!
Have you written off for tickets yet?
Wonder how the pandemic will affect travel plans? Fans are ecouraged to get straight back home as soon as the game is finished. Depending on how the game is going, one set of fans could be leaving earlier than the other!
rafichagran Yes, we had more Covid cases, about half-a-dozen, last week, but in true Aussie style we isolated them very quickly.
We learned today that about 60 Aussie citizens were prevented from boarding a Jumbo due to bring them back to OZ. They were part of a group of about 160 due to be repatriated from India on a Jumbo that had delivered Medical supplies.
Apparently there are thousands still waiting to be brought home!
and they are not in the best of places to be waiting, what with the hospital situation.
We had a fascinating TV doco about the Millau Viaduct in the South of France.
Rob Bell was our guide and I was petrified as we were taken up Tower 2.
Obviously he has a head for heights, but when they pointed the camera downwards over the edge of a seemingly narrow platform over 340 meters high, well, being a vertigo sufferer, I felt distinctly queazy and gripped arms of my armchair very tightly. Yet I still had to keep looking.
I couldn’t help admiring the workers who put the whole thing together.
Reminded me of my worst nightmare; being stuck in a cable-car in the Swiss Alps
, 1,000 metres above the valley floor and having to clamber through the roof on a rope ladder dangling from a rescue chopper! 
Now to get some sleep 
Weather promises to be even colder and wetter; not quite “the coldest since records began” but that might be coming!
