Blog Day 74: Friday 05 June 2020

I know that this will come as a big disappointment to my legion of dedicated readers but there probably won't be any blog entries for the next few days as I am going away for the long weekend.  I anticipate being so busy with social (read drinking and eating) activities that I won't have the time or inclination to be blogging unless of course I get bored with the company and the activities.  I can hear your sighs of disappointment from here.  But never fear I will be back, probably next Tuesday.  Won't that be a bumper edition!

You would all be aware of the proposed rallies in Melbourne and other parts of the country tomorrow. Three weeks ago Dangerous Dan was telling us that we were all going to die if more than five people attended a mother's day lunch, last week he told us we were all going to die if more than twenty people attended a restaurant at the same time.  I think he said something along the lines of "if these rules are ignored it will kill people".  However, DD and the police have now said that, contrary to the advise of the Chief Health Officer, they will allow a gathering of 30,000 people in front of parliament house.  Why is the police commissioner going along with this, he is retiring at the end of this month so he no longer has to kowtow to DD as he has done for the rest of his tenure.

We have done such a great job at dealing with this virus and yet the government is prepared to risk it all to pander to a bunch of left wing extremists. Let them protest all they like once this pandemic is over or at least the risk is reduce to acceptable levels.  To paraphrase a great premier of this state "once this pandemic is over they can march up and down until their feet fall off".

That's enough of all that so for a change of pace.

Another rib tickler from Leanne; 

Q: Did you hear? The King of Spain has been quarantined on his plane. Do you know what this means?

A: It means the reign in Spain stays mainly on the plane!

Just wait for me to get my breath back.

Three new infections in Victoria and four more in NSW.  Another primary school in the northern suburbs of Melbourne has been closed. An infected student attended the school prior to showing symptons.  I see the French government has announced that there will be no Bastille Day parade down the Champs Elysees this year.

See you all next week, take care.

    Maybe dan is allowing the protests because he wants more people to get corona so he can put us into lockdown again?

      Just what this blog needs, a good conspiracy theory.

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...
