Good Evening! Not a bad day here in “The Lucky Country”!
About 20C, overcast, no rain, humid but pleasantly warm and no wind. Haven’t caught up with yesterday’s Covid stats other than no dramatic changes.
Our PM over rode State premiers yesterday by threatening to raise their cap/limit on returning Aussies allowed back from o/seas, mainly UK. I think they said 24,000 have been trapped. Qantas boss wants the job of course.
Jaxjacky were your trips to USA back in the days of Concord?
As an advocate supporter of automatics I reckon it was probably you who was sluggish! 
Just think! A different car, sitting on the left so your feet had to be re-programmed and driving on the right! Your brain would have had a lot of data streaming in.
I drove once in Pound Ridge, Vermont when we visited Vera’s aunt and used her car to visit the shopping malls. Turning left was nerve-stretching! 
No! I’m not into flu jabs ever since my first and only one over 60 years ago which made me really crook. Doctors keep asking and I keep saying “No thanks!” even though they’re free.
Grandmabatty whilst on medical matters, I saw your message on the Good Morning thread, about not losing weight due to thyroid medications. Interesting because Vera had to have a thyroidectomy when she was 19 to remove most of her thyroid which resulted in having to control frequent fluctuations in activity in what was left. But thenceforth she had a constant battle to put on weight no matter what she ate. She was the envy of her floral art colleagues, most of whom had the opposite problem!
Being 95% teetotal might explain it!
Btw. talking food! Your warning about the pie filling came too late because I’d already bitten into one, broke two front teeth and now can’t even whistle “All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth..... ” I now dribble and have to wear a bib, but I suppose you’re used to dealing with that with Grandson!? 
Megs That’s a pity about losing your October break. Being a nosey parker, Google shows some nice looking Warner hotels around the place advertising their Corana virus- free guarantee, but that’s not much comfort if you can’t get there. Driving there is out of the question I guess! ? Warners is very prevalent here, particularly in NSW, but is probably a completely different chain.!
Now why would your daughter wish for a manual when she’s already able to drive an auto?
Getting quite chilly now so must nudge up the C/H a notch or two!
Good Health
