Lindy: I hope you have wonderful visit with your family. I know you've missed them so much. Have a safe trip to Wales and enjoy your time there!
Yesterday’s new cases in Victoria the highest in Aussieland since covid began. They say it will get worse before better as we wait for results from lockdown. In Melbourne 5 million people only allowed out for essentials and now they say they should wear masks if they can’t social distance. However Queensland has opened its borders (except anyone from VIC) and there is a flood of “grey nomads” heading there for the sunshine.
I have been feeling down this week, so good to read all your news, chatter, rants to distract me. Thank you Friends.

Morning all; Thanks all for chats and pix. Painters gone; house now fresh and bright. Floors coming in 27th, so will prepare myself to lose more bills and generally be more discombobulated than at present. I went out in the garden when everyone left - around 1:30 pm - put up lounger, got a book, started to nod off - but then the neighbor decided it was the afternoon to bring out his power trimmer, lawn mower and blower. He doesn't have a large back yard and I couldn't figure out why the blower was going for so long. I told my OH I could've raked up whatever it was in less than half the time he spent wandering around turning the darn thing on and off. OH and I collapsed on the couch last evening with a pizza and wine and are being very lazy this morning.
AQ: It does all get a bit much doesn't it? These days I tend to feel more easily overwhelmed by things and I really do blame That Awful Man - it's like living with a constant headache. I find the virus much less distressing. Still, this too shall pass. (It will pass, won't it!?) :-)
Lindybird: Hope today's visit was wonderful and it must be so nice to be able to escape to Wales. I wonder if the campground will be busy.
On the bright side, it looks like Ms. D will be coming with daughter and granddaughter on their super-quick visit next week and Ms D may stay on for the week. Not sure yet. I just saw that our zoo is still open (for some reason the Governor's recent closure orders don't apply to it), but now we have to make reservations because they're restricting the number of visitors. That would be a nice outing. We've been there several times and it's never been that crowded....
I'm going to putter over to Trader Joe's to pick up a few staples, then home for a quiet day. Can't believe it's Saturday already.
