Week 2 - Wednesday 30 March 2022 - Reasonably Covid Normal Welcome to the new weekly blog. I trust that the withdrawal from the daily blog hasn't been too difficult for you and I realise that your daily life is the poorer for it's absence. Life goes on, although the covid virus is still a big part of our lives it is not front and centre as it has been for the last couple of years. Lots of people are wearing masks, even when they don't have to, we are still checking in with QR codes and having our vaccination status checked in cafes, restaurants, hotels etc. Although I have noticed that many venues are not policing the QR code check in and the vaccination status of their patrons. Obviously and unfortunately people are still being infected and dying because of, or with the virus. I have been pretty busy with the Shrine.

Blog Day 712 - Tuesday 22 March 2022 - Day 25 Even More Covid Nearly Normaller Momentous news today, I'm getting married........ha ha, only kidding.

As a special treat I have extracted some international figures, presented in two tables to be posted as soo...
Blog Day 709 - Saturday 19 March 2022 - Day 22 of Even More Covid Nearly Normaller A am sure that you, my gentle readers, will be relieved to know that I have returned unscathed from my adventures in the great Australian wilderness, or at least the Delatite arm of Lake Eildon. I arrived at our camp site early Tuesday afternoon and although overcast it wasn't raining. My fellow adventurers who, for the sake of anonymity, I will call John, Richard and Tom, had already arrived and were busily setting up tents and getting boats in the water and so on. I put up my new tent and I must admit having a tent that one can stand up in is such a blessing. Tuesday night was uneventful and up early to be out on the water by about 9.00, and was it bucketing down. The rain started at about 3.00am in the morning and didn't stop until about 2.00pm in the afternoon. I discovered very early in the piece that my new tent is very waterproof and I was snug and dry. Once out on the water...
