Blog Day 519 - Thursday 02 Sept 2021 - Day 28 of Covid Lockdown V6.0 (Extended)

Dear and gentle reader I must apologise for a bit of a hiatus in the production of the blog, I know how much it adds to your dull and dreary routine however some personal matters have distracted me from the blog for a few days and it may be a little irregular in days to come.  However don't let this absence dissuade you from continuing the support the free press by your regular and much valued contributions to my GoFundMe page.

I haven't had much of a chance to have a look at the updated virus figures apart from seeing that they appear to be on the up and up especially in NSW and lesser so in Victoria, but even so the Victorian figures are a cause for concern.  It would appear that NSW is reporting deaths on a daily basis, with seven in the last 24 hours.

I see that the vaccination figures are continuing to climb with 36% of Victorians now fully vaccinated and 58% having received their first inoculation.   Nationally 36.4% are double jabbed and 60.5 single jabbed.  Victoria has announced that in an effort to speed up the vaccination process they are reducing the time gap between the 1st and 2nd AstraZeneca to 6 weeks instead of 12.

I will try and do a more substantial blog tomorrow but I wanted to touch base today so that you wouldn't think that I had been kidnapped by Irish gypsies or fallen down a mine shaft.

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...
