Masks (Covid)

[happy daze john in oz]

Figures bad again today but the 'experts' still say we are nearing the peak.
I di hope they are correct.
But new changes to restrictions will at least allow more transport to move essential goods.
Supermarket shelves look a bit like the end of the world.

Dunny rolls again on ration!!!!!
So stay off the Curry for a few days.

Yes indeed John
I did our normal Shopping Today and Boy! Hardly anything on the Shelves at Coles, then to Woolies which seemed a bit better so between the two stores managed to get most of what i needed! Even got some Dunny Rolls at Woolies, Coles was bare!

Think as you say now with the new Rules in place at least hopefully the Shelves will start to get filled again!

Cheers

Down here in Cooma miles and miles from anywhere we have had only one glitch, shortage of milk in Coles, still had the big containers, next day it was kosher, big milk factory in Bega down the road., now the holidays are coming to an end we are not getting the hundreds of caravans buying everything up.

Only one answer Des , stock up with condensed milk, old lifeboat stores would do , can also use as marmalade when that runs out, is an acquired taste but used to go down well , especially when it was Cappys marmalade with small animals floating in it near the bottom. While your at it a couple of jars of Barley sugar would go down well . Cheers JS

This is a true story... I was 2 mate on a Runciman ship and docked in Liverpool after a short 6 month trip. The crowd asked me to ask the personnel/stores manager if they could have fresh milk delivered as weren’t paying off until the next day , so I asked him, of course he said I”ll have the dairy drop it off at the bottom of the gangway as soon as possible. Sure enough he did so. I went to find him to thank, and found him going round all the messroms collecting all the tins of condensed milk up and putting in a bag, this included the tins already broken into. I said what are you doing ? Collecting all the condensed milk in he said. why ? I asked , because they can’t have both , it’s one or the other. And I’m not going to set a practice of having both. This is 100% true and was the way a shipowner thought or at least his storm troopers did . JS

Numbers down again today, the end is nigh, so they say.

Think my next door neighbors on the other side of the road from us have got the virus.
Lots of people coming to the door and leaving shopping bags and leaving.
But they are Greek Authodox would that make a difference I wonder.

In our town of some 36,500 there are about 500 cases of it.
My brother is now let out again, only 7 days inside for it.
