I am now double-dosed CoVaxed with AstraZeneca, with absolutely nil side effects for me at all.
My Youngest Son, Alex (turns 23 next month!), with his ‘missus’, Sophie.
RIP my 2nd-last Auntie Val, who passed away very recently... say hello to dad [your brother] and mum for me. All good happy and positive memories for me – she was a good woman. She was 90 - a good innings! Because we are all in Covid Lockdown still (until 11 Oct - fingers crossed), my brother and I will not be able to attend her funeral. My brother and I managed to get in touch with our 2 cousins, her daughters, to pass on our legitimate sympathies.
I’ve got back into Bread making here at home. So, I replaced the flat battery on my little digital Kitchen Scales, but that wasn’t why it wasn’t working... twas not just a flat battery, the unit is actually broken [it was an old one and I haven’t used it in two years... hmmm...]. So, once I managed to get back online again, I quickly had a new one delivered, and voila! Lots of gorgeously-fresh homebaked bread.
I’ve been slowly getting back into mowing/edging my little lawns [now Spring has sprung] when I’m able to... a bit here and there, just to keep on top of it. I keep forgetting I’m disabled sometimes – D’oh! I tried pouring some boiling water on a few naughty weeds growing in the cracks of the concrete floor of my empty carport, to kill them off – a tip from Patrick’s Radio Show on Thursdays... and it actually works! I’d never heard of doing that do destroy weeds before.
We’ve even had an Earthquake! On Wednesday 22 Sept in NE Victoria (about 600kms / 375 miles away)... I slept right thru it! D’oh! And then there was that nearby Twister... "only in Australia" [laffs].
There’s a little corner store one block away from here, selling a good coffee [I am told, altho I don’t drink/enjoy coffee!]; despite our Covid Lockdown, every time I walk past on my daily walks, there are crowds gathered for their daily fix of a good coffee, wearing masks and social distancing etc. The actual shop site had been closed for a long time... so it's great to see a new small local business opening up and seemingly thriving.
Now that season is over – bring on the cricket! Glad to see the Indians giving our Ladies Cricket Team a great challenge.
I’ve been updating/tweaking this blog a lot lately, too.
Take a look at some shared harmless fun silliness (instead of all the doom’n’dloom we seem to be forever bombarded with everywhere!): “The Odd Socks”.
And to finish off this post... here are two pieces of atmospheric instrumental music, composed by a fellow MSer.

Earth quakes? Duudddeeee... Did the fishies notice?
ReplyDeleteThoon and Katia are way too cool to let something trivial like an earthquake disturb them! [laffs]
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy Christobeth's music as well.
ReplyDeleteWith quarry near never sure if it an earthquake or not here, but the earth certainly moves for us laffs
Thanks Jan. Gotta support people as we can!
ReplyDeleteThe only rumbles I have here is the occasional train softly rumbling past about 500 meters away in the middle of the night... you wouldn't hear them unless you really listened for them.
