Blog Day 69: Sunday 31 May 2020

Even a hard working and reliable blogger and social influencer such as myself has to have the occasional day off, so nothing much to report today.  

Last night I decided that one of my emergency lockdown food items was getting close to its use by date so roasted pork knuckle was enjoyed by all.

The more observant of you will recall that the pork knuckle appeared in the occasional series of "What's in the pantry Graeme"? so for your amusement and to take up space in the blog I have posted some before and after pics below, I will leave you to work out which is which;




It was delicious and I have some left over to have cold tonight.  To support my role as a social influencer please ring "Three Aussie Farmers" and tell them that you have seen my blog about their product and how that has encouraged you to buy it. They can contact me for my bank account details.

I can say at this stage the can of pickled mutton is looking pretty safe.

Four further infections in Victoria in the last 24 hours.  Two of these infections are related to the Keilor Downs family cluster which brings that to a total of 13.  Hard to get rid of once it gets in there.

Tomorrow I will present the eagerly anticipated world corona virus stats (or selected countries anyway), please let me know if you want me to include a particular country.

Corona Virus Daily Stats: Day 146

Vic: 1,649 infected (+4 from previous day) - 19 deaths (increase 0)
Aus: 7,192 infected (+8 from previous day) - 103 deaths (increase 0)
Recovered: 6,614
World: 6,057,553

    I've had that before - I have to say I thought it was a bit on the salty side. But otherwise I thought it was a pretty good product. Not too expensive and pretty quick in the oven.

      Not sure how anything can be a "bit on the salty side".

    Did you eat anything with it or just on its own?

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...
