It'll be ejected into interstellar space, never to return.Photo labeled “Public domain” (copyright free) Horizon Productions SFL
HEATHER – I do hope your s-i-l stays safe. The only Aussie state that is almost covid-free is WA, but they require quarantine. Others states are letting overseas travellers in with minimal tests and very short isolation.
Hot cross buns were in some C…s supermarkets today. A new flavour; cheese & vegemite. I like vegemite. . . but in a hot cross bun? No way.
Morning all:
Lindybird: Missed that bit about a potential visit from over the Pond. :-( Let's hope it's just idle talk at this point....
AQ; Well, the way to survive that trip to Europe is on a luxury liner, but.....
Heather: Wow. That's some treat for Callum's girlfriend's family. Though I doubt a full-on Xmas dinner at a nice place here would cost much less. Glad your own Xmas dinner survived the trip! Does family visit mean just you and son's family for meals?
Everybody here still fast asleep. I should toss on some warm clothes and go feed the horses...
Take are all

Lynette: Good heaven, that sounds like a really anxiety ridden few days - and over Christmas too! Glad your OH's problems are finally being addressed, Please do let us know how he's doing and do take care of yourself in the meantime.
Busy day here. Saw daughter twice today and managed to squeeze other errands in between visits. Lots of snow forecast in the next few days; hence all the to-ing and fro-ing. Am hoping we don't get too much.
About to topple into bed. Take care all.
ANNETTE – I could not endure a cruise. When one of my “bus trip acquaintances” enthused about her cruises, I shuddered. No scenery but boring sea day after day.
LYNETTE - I hope that now your OH can get a diagnosis & care he needs. Do look after yourself. {{{HUGS}}}
NSW covid testing bungled again; 900 were told they were negative. In fact 500 were positive.
