A mouse a-chewin' on
the pantry door
He's been at it fer a month or more
When he gets through he'd sure be sore
'Cause there ain't a darned thing in there
(Recorded byWalter Brennan)
Life is
truly tedious at the moment as there is one man with Covid-19 (English strain)
who spent about ten days out in the community but fortunately using the “SafeWA”
app so there is a record of where he went during the time he has been affected.
Meanwhile,
we are all in total lockdown for five days
- masks in the common areas in
the Apartment building and everywhere else.
So far there has not been another case discovered but there is massive
testing and D2 is a part of that as she is an emergency physician working in
the main public hospital in the danger zone.
To add to
Perth’s woes there is a massive bushfire upwind of us and the whole of the city
is enveloped in smoke so all the doors are firmly closed and the air con is
running. The only thing going for it all
is that my dental appointment in two days time has been canceled.
Covid Koala
the Drop Bear is back on duty on the window sill of the dining area and I have
taken the opportunity to wash all my bedding from the fleece under blanket to
the duvet and everything in between.
Yesterday (and probably today from the feel of it) the temperature registered
over 37 degrees (or 100 degrees in the old measurement) and even the down duvet dried
so fast that I simply kept on washing everything and it was all back on my bed
in time for me to sleep in clean everything.
I am getting
over my phobia about paying my bills online.
After the problems which I encountered after the installation of the NBN
I still get a bit nervous in case I encounter problems again - but
I have an ‘authentication app’ (the reason I needed the smart phone) and, of course, the SafeWA app is the cherry on the cake for the phone.
My toe is
finally pain-free although I have not yet tried wearing a shoe and my right eye
has been lasered so I now have really good long distance vision, really good
close-up vision and nothing in between.
New spectacles are pending for reading and computer but I haven’t needed
spectacles for general seeing and am still getting used to not having to take
them off and on for the first time for over 70 years. I cover one eye when I use the computer . . .
The
limerick:-
I have used
this one before but it is one of my favourites.
There once was a student of Johns
Who wanted to bugger the swans.
But the loyal hall porter
Said “Sir, take my daughter,
Them birds is reserved for the Dons.”
