Good Evening; Sorry to have neglected you ladies, but other matters arose which needed some sensible male input. As you know, they’re arguing the toss about a Male-only thread versus a Female-only, which has become almost a non-event because of the recent exodus of Grandads. Apparently others are around, but wearing good camouflage and also not willing to voice an opinion
I’ll be hanging around to provide some banter that a lady poster, she of the “dangling preposition” craves and also hope that these “Newsletters” from OZ provide encouragement that there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel
Like today’s news for example. 23 days now without any new Covid cases or deaths; border controls are being relaxed, apart from W.A. and the sudden recent severe lockdown in S.Australia has been ended as of now. Apparently the false scare was started by a Pizza employee. No word as to what charges he’ll face, but they could stick him in one of the pizza ovens.
Our TV entertainment continues to be excellent Michael P. is stll riding the rails, still feeding his face. even on Indian trains, but why he always has to try his hand at some local custom, whether it’s preparing some native delicacies, loom-spinning or learning a Morris-Dancing type routine beats me! I must be getting old!
Not too old to be interested in chocalate though! Our latest episode centred on Frys, Violet Crumble, Turkish Delight etc No wonder all the workers who’re interviewed are so happy! 
The Great Fire of London is out and now we’re digging up Pyramids again.
Jaxjacky . if you’re there! Talking of digging , I came across a very amusing character whilst browsing, called “Dave and his allotment” Thought of you straight away!
You probably know all about it; a series set in the North East. There was an episode
entitled “Nil Desperandum Carburundum” which I haven’t found again involving his allotment and greenhouse being a total wreck. On second thoughts don’t look for it; it’s sad really.
Megs hope you and Mr. M are keeping as well as can be epected. How’s the shielding programme going? Fortunately we don’t have worries like that just now; it was hard enough keeping up with lockdown “levels”
We don’t have to wear masks outdoors now provided common sense and social distancing rules are observed. Much easier with the hotter weather beginning to rev up!
Btw. I noticed in a posting recently you were defined as my “ally”! Does that mean we are on a war-footing!? I still prefer “buddy” as bestowed on us a couple of years ago. 
Well, I’ll put a sock in it before someone tells me to do just that; Won’t need bed-socks tonight; temperature conducive to wearing conservative night-wear; Sighs of relief from some lady GNer!
Good Health
