Blog Day 45: Thursday 07 May 2020

I don't know if I have mentioned it before but it looks like the Boundary Hotel is taking the opportunity of the forced closure to do a major refurbishment. There have been lots of tradies vans parked outside and upon peering through windows it looks like the interior has been gutted.  All they have to do now is get rid of the kiddies playground, get rid of the pokies and employ some half decent staff and it wouldn't be a bad sort of a pub.

I think that my ambition to become a social media influencer may be a little ambitious but as always I am prepared to give it my best shot, and thanks to Andrew for his advice "to remain humble".

The number of infections in Victoria has continued to rise thanks to the Cedar Meats cluster, with 14 out of a national increase of 19 attributed to Victoria.  The connections between the Labor party and the owners of Cedar Meats is continuing to raise eyebrows. This connection is especially relevant given the government's enthusiasm in naming a school with one infection but failed to advise anybody of the Cedar Meats cluster with dozens of direct and indirect infections. It even got to the absurd position where the government said it wasn't their role to name the sources of infections it was the health department's job and the health department said that it wasn't their role it was the government's, and then they both agreed it was up to the management of the Cedar Meats to name themselves.....like that was going to happen!  

In the military we had a term for when everything had gone wrong and it was referred to as a "clusterfuck".  Is this an example of a "clusterfuck"?

Good to see no more deaths either in Victoria or Australia wide.

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...
