"A man bought a parrot off another man and they were chatting a few weeks later
The new owner said, 'Sadly, the parrot's died.'
Already?' said the old owner. 'What happened?'
I don't know!' said the new owner. 'I got him a new cage, a new perch, a bell he could ring with his beak and a swing and everything.'
'Did he speak at all?' said the old owner.
'Yes, he did actually, just before he fell off his perch.'
'And what did he say?' the old owner asked.
'Food!'"
Good Evening Everyone!
Not so good really, I suppose, as our statistics worsen by the day. 428 new cases announced today for VIC along with 3 deaths. NSW also continues to cause concern.
Now the talk is about going to Stage 4 with precautions, but unsure what that will entail; more compulsion about wearing masks I guess. 
They’re not compulsory yet, Megs, but I don’t/can’t go out and not anxious to go either. No2 Son, working from home, attends to my meagre grocery shopping list and even replenishes my cellar without an accompanying lecture! 
It’s not a free charity-type service, mind you, so my card gets regular exercise!
AGAA4 Sorry to hear you haven’t much to laugh about! Not living on the West coast of soggy Wales?
Here’s a Scotch joke!
“Lady settles back in dentist’s chair.
“Comfy?” enquires the dentist.
“Govan” she replies.
Got that off an Internet Scottish jokes website! 
Carillion Very nice to meet you and you’re very welcome. Brittany sounds a very romantic place, especially if it’s Covid free. I’m very impressed with your DH playing as a prof, for Lancs. What era? All his aches, pains and ops would be a small price to pay to play alongside Brian Statham, or not!?
A marvellous economical bowler, straight as a die and bowled at the stumps relentlessly. Another hero was Cyril Washbrook. As you can guess, I’m a Lancs lad (Mancunian), but now focus more on EPL football, City of course! And you’re a “Toffee” fan!? Nothing wrong with that I suppose, so long it’s not Liverpool. ! Pity they lost their unbeaten home record.! Let’s hear it for City tomorrow!
Grandmabatty Oh dear! Thanks for not holding a grudge; so can I get off the “naughty stool”?
My whinge about Shakespeare was really aimed at the way we had to dissect his plays at grammer school, analysing practically every single word for what he actually meant. It took ages to repair the damage; I reckon your approach would have been more interesting and more profitable!
Anyway that’s long ago!
I’m going to have a go at WhatsApp. when I’ve tamed my new (cheapo) smartphone; yet to download “Seek”, which is like “Shazam for flowers” !?
Hoping this doesn’t do the disappearing trick. Using Word so able to save it and also saves having to retype.
Good Health.
