Saw someone jogging past outside so felt sufficiently motivated to get up off the settee and close the curtains
Free at last! Hooray! Premier Dan is now everyones’ best friend by announcing lifting of most restrictions as of Tuesday. I haven’t caught up with all the details, b ut pubs, clubs, cafes etc. can all open again, at least those that haven’t gone to the wall. Nothing about facemasks so I guess they stay. Some wit remarked that they’ve been useful for confirming whether or not you’ve got bad breath!
Thank you all for your interest in Freda; unfortunately she’s feeling a bit flat at the moment because the gardener pulled her plug the other day to make way for his 2-stroke leaf blower and didn’t replace it resulting in me finding her in a distressed state with no get-up and go! She’s now getting plenty of amps!
What’s wrong with the good oldfashioned broom!? Good exercise and much quieter.
Stephen Welcome to this kind and gentle thread. Where are you from? and no jokes about the birds and bees thank you!
Actually the ride on Freda is very comfortable; all-round 4-wheel suspension, wide tyres and a swivel seat making it safer to dismount! 
Jane; my kindly neighbours, especially the ones who bring round homemade soup and scones are Merrin and Jan. They’ll laugh when I tell them you think they are scooters! 
Most acqaintences are now aware of GN and always ask “How are your Grannies?”to which I always reply “Very friendly company” (I told you I’m Britain’s diplomatic attache, answer to Sir Les P.)
Btw; latest issue of “The Oldie” arrived today; problem; bulk mail travels to OZ via Zurich or Rotterdam so should I disinfect its wrapper!?
Megs Having just understood all about “shielding” you now throw in “Tier”.!
I’ve heard of “top tier” before, but how does it work?
Brazil nuts are the challenge, especially for arthritic wrists. I accumulate them ready for a trip to the vice in the garage; it’s remarkable how all the last nuts in the bowl turn out to be full of dust!
Of course you’re going to have Christmas; just put on Frankie singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, something like that!
Jaxjacky You’re allowed to put jokes on this thread too! I saw you! We’re open minded! 
Now that glass of wine, whether it’s red or white, should really be Guinness!
Do you buy that by the “Box” too!?
Ordinary weather all week and it’s mid-Spring! Brisbane branch of the family escaped that huge hail storm yesterday and had their swimming pool topped up for free; and the temp. remained in the upper 20s. 
“The curfew tolls etc.”
Good Health
