I have had my second and final (I hope) Covid shot and the relief is enormous. Not because I thought that I might catch the virus - Western Australia is probably the safest place in the world in that regard but because I have defeated technology in order to navigate MyGov and Medicare, combine the two, install an app on my newish smart phone and download a certificate to say that I am fully vaccinated.
I have been battling technology for about a year now, ever since I had the NBN connected and found that I needed a new landline phone, new smart phone and fathom out how to work them. This also encompassed the problems I had with banking and paying my bills which seems to be working at the moment although I still have some underlying unease that I might have a problem down the track. This was due to the NBN creating a new persona for me without telling me so that I was unable to log in to my bank account and needed to keep on phoning the bank whenever I needed to do a transaction.
There is nothing else of note. The knitting group was cancelled for one week when the State went into a sudden lockdown for five days and the supermarkets seem to have ample supplies of toilet paper if it happens again but our borders are firmly shut and I seriously doubt that D1 will be over for Christmas for the second year running. However we chat regularly on Skype so there is contact.
I sponsored a guide dog this year and my puppy arrived a couple of weeks ago. GB2 and I are going to visit "Visability" next Tuesday to meet her. Her birthday was on 21st April so she is still a baby but already sits on command so she is a clever puppy.
The Limerick:-
Said a young Darwin lady, quite rude,
The first time she saw a man nude,
"I'm glad I'm the sex
That's concave not convex!
I don't fancy things that protrude,"
