Blog Day 23: Wednesday 15 April 2020

Andrew, you will be pleased to see that I now have the correct date at the top of the blog page.  I was in the settings area looking for something else and I found how to correct the date and time.

I would like to thank two of my regular contributors for their suggestions as to what I can do with my tinned corned mutton and thank you for keeping your comments nice, considering this is a family blog.

Being a bit bored last night I had a look to if there was anything interesting on Netflix and I discovered some new episode of the Windsors.  The Windsors is a British comedy series taking the mickey out of the royal family, very funny and very close to the real thing I reckon.  Well worth a look at it you want a laugh.  Last night's episode had Harry marrying Malcolm Turnbull's daughter to save the Commonwealth - "the most important organisation in the world". Good fun.

Here is an idea that I have come up with whilst on my walk.  I reckon in these troubled times a lot of people would get a lot of comfort out of having a pet but wouldn't be prepared to have one long term.  Hence "Rent a Pet".  I would need to do a deal with a pet shelter and hire some dogs and cats on a weekly basis for a nominal amount, and then I rent said cats and dogs out to the lonely and desperate for a much larger amount.  Daily, weekly or monthly hire and at the end of the hire period the pet is returned to me and I give it back to the pound to await whatever fate was in the offing.  Hiring rates would depend on the size, breed, temperament and nature of the animal.  

Open to suggestions as to how I could improve on this plan and open to investments of whatever sum you are comfortable with donating, sorry I mean investing.

Well, I reckon that is enough creative thinking for one day, almost like being at work.


Current Virus Stats Day 100

Vic: 1,299 infected (+8 from previous day) - 14 deaths (increase 0)
Aus: 6,440 infected (+46 from previous day) - 63 deaths (increase 2) 
Recovered: 2,186 Australian Newspaper, 3,598 Aus Gov Dept of Health (huge variance)
World: 1,973,715

Still mainly using figures from newspapers, the Dept of Health stats are running at least 24 hours behind.  Even then there are variances between the various papers.  Just doing my best here folk.

    Well done - the correct date is very important. Future generations deserve accurate historical reports.

      And the future generations are going to get extremely accurate historical information from this blog. They will think that we are all living on tinned corned mutton and sauerkraut.

Blog day 3: Thursday 26 March 2020 Its funny to think that this time last year I was a couple of days away from heading off to Europe for 5 weeks, my how things have changed.  On that trip the only medical issues I needed to concern myself with was twisting an ankle on a cobblestone or recovering from a hangover, wouldn't want to be there now. I am wondering where the extinction rebellion people have got to, they seem to gone very quiet, maybe they are lining up in the Centrelink queues to take money from a government they despise from a society for which they have no respect. Haven't been for a walk today apart from up and down the driveway to collect the newspaper and check the letterbox.  I even excitedly opened the letter from the bank enclosing my credit card bill. Keeping in touch with people by email, SMS and phone, Leanne even suggested today that I join Facebook.  Maybe...….when hell freezes over! Catching up on my reading, and looking at inspiration...

Blog Day 522 - Sunday 05 Sept 2021 - Day 31 of Covid Lockdown V6.0 Extended   There was an interesting piece in The Australian newspaper yesterday with the headline "Catholic Health Plea to Protect Jab Objectors".  In part the article said, and I quote "Indeed Catholic teaching holds that no one should be forced to have a vaccine or be discriminated for exercising a conscientious objection". I would be interested which part of the bible discusses covid vaccinations or indeed vaccinations generally. I also like the story of the Sydney family who snuck into Victoria to visit family or friends and then snuck back into NSW using the backroads, naturally without any of the required permits or exemptions.  Everything was going hunky dory until the children of the family started boasting about their trip out of town to their mates at school.  SPRUNG! I gather by the name of the school that the family may have been of Irish extraction. In a rather rapid turnaround Victoria ...

Blog Day 589 - Tuesday 16 November 2021 - Day 18 of Covid Normal The Andrews government have back pedalled a little with their new draconian pandemic legislation.  The fine for individuals breaching the new pandemic rules has been reduced from $92,000 to $45,000 for individuals.  That is a relief, far better to be fined $45,000 than $92,000, I wonder if you could enter into a payment plan?   There is still a lot of opposition to the legislation from the most unlikely of bedfellows, including the Human Rights Commission, the Melbourne legal profession, the usual suspects of various flag waving ratbag groups and anti vaxxers as well as regular members of the public. A great day for Australia's giant leap into the space age.  Sometime over the weekend the first solid fuel, Australian designed rocket to be launched in the country since 1971 was launched somewhere in outback NSW.  This rocket in its mighty thrust into the outer reaches of the known universe reac...
