Blog Day 593 - Saturday 20 November 2021 - Day 22 of Covid Nearly Normal

I have been a bit distracted by other events in my life over the last few days, (curse you relaxation of the covid rules), and although I am not creating a full blog today I thought that I had better touch base in case some of my many dear readers were concerned about me.  No, I haven't been kidnapped by gypsies, been kneecapped by the Irish mafia or fallen down a mine shaft.

I may not have mentioned it in the blog but a couple of months ago a dear friend of mine passed away due to an aggressive type of cancer.  I am executor of the estate which has involved a little of my time and today we have the scattering of the ashes.

As I have said in the past the pandemic is the gift that keeps on giving and there has been so much good covid related stuff happening in Victoria that I must wait until I have time to do it all justice in the blog, so that won't be today or possibly tomorrow, so look forward to a bumper edition of the blog one day next week.

As a bit of a teaser, the premier was complaining that some protesters were "going to hang him in Effigy".  Well if I was going to be hung in Effigy I would keep away from the place.

A little bit of covid news, although the daily infection rate in Victoria has been over 1,000 cases in the last few day, the hospital, ICU and ventilator cases continue to drop.  Hopefully this is what high rates of vaccination achieves.

Cheers, for now.......

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...
