I got stomped on yesterday by FB for telling someone to use AppCleaner to remove a program to trash rather than sifting through umpteen folders in the library.. said my post contravened community rules and was bullying!! I didn’t take that lying down and protested they’d got it wrong and seconds later apology and reinstated the post.?

That’s my approach - keep the brain active. Trying not to veg. I have told my husband to keep his xxxx together as he’s always inclined to be absentminded. I have told him I am not the keeper of his glasses or anything else!?
Dementia is hard to deal with - been there done that with late Mother in law. When I broached the subject with my SIL back then that something was wrong I got a very angry reaction and “how dare I say our mother was mad“ (which was not what I said).?
There were some very amusing incidents and some very worrying ones - but in the end a decision has to be made for the safety of that person as well as other people.?
It truly is a hard space between safety concerns and impinging on a persons individual personal freedom in regards to mental health or detoxing whatever the situation is. One doesn’t wrestle lightly.?

Not awake early this morning.

It was quite nice and we ate too much and we had a jolly time between us. I kidded our goddaughter in a text we were progressing on to the Casino and a strip club. But in fact we came hone to bed and a cuppa to let the food go down.
We were in fact married in the beautiful old Treasury Building which is now the Casino in the city.?
Anniversaries are for me to remind Pete he married me for ?3 and got a bargain. Do you know there’s no lists of anniversary presents after 50 - we shall have to start again where the jewels are on the list.
I have been talking about iPad Pro since before my birthday - rang my fav tech yesterday and he said Apple tell them nothing about what’s in the offing except he was predicting a new processor.?
However news this morning is full of new iPad Pro with new processor and led lighting possibly within days.?
So this maybe a good excuse of birthday and anniversary to splurge. Meantime I am trying to absorb the basics of ProCreate off videos to keep mind busy.?

There are people who are asthmatic or using oxygen etc where a mask is not appropriate or practical.
I discussed vax or no vax with GP as regards my issues of allergies and intolerances and anaphylactic reactions and I asked in the middle of the discussion if he was going to have one and he said it came down to personal choice.?
My neurologist chap is immune compromised he said so will be doing it but said I would have to rely on herd immunity with my history.?
In Australia there has been good acceptance of mask wearing and distancing when govt. says so. Some stores have signs no mask no entry.?
But when it comes down to it it’s up to you to police you for your own benefit, not police everyone else. That’s how I look at it. ?So on that basis when required we wear a mask. Currently this is not the case but we still abide by the distancing rules and do electronic checkin ( I came across one place that had check-in and check-out for iPhone ... that was new.?
I limit visits to stores and limit time I am there. I only shop about every ten days. If anyone is showing signs of coughing or flu I move away or leave.?
I’ve never had a flu vax and I’ve never had the flu.?
If I need a tetanus jab or anything GP sends me off for blood test first to test my immunity so I don’t have to risk anything I don’t need.?

Astra Zeneca one not yet produced in Australia and it has to go through Australian testing and approval. It’s going to be made here in Australian labs.?
Yes there are anti vax protests.?

I just don’t know what to think of the situation with people who cannot have a vaccination, as opposed to the anti-vaxxers. I don’t want to be mean and all that but, if I go into the supermarket or shop, dutifully wearing my mask, someone who is excused wearing it, quite legitimately, could easily be spreading infection all around. Some of them seem to think their excuse for not wearing one is the same as wearing one and they can go as close to others as they like, if you see what I mean. What is your take on this? Best

They can hardly make it mandatory but there has been talk of limitations etc for non vaccinated people like travel or jobs ... that gets people riled. PM encouraging everyone to make a you gov au account where medical history will be kept available.?

It got to 34deg C by 10am today and humidity north of 70%. It’s got down to 24c at 10pm. Lightning about and thunder rolling - was hoping for a bit of a cool down.?
I can’t really get into games bar quick puzzles. I get more out of something creative.?
Right at the moment no one is needing posters and flyers. Have tackled a couple of complicated MS Office things. ?I’ve suggested to Pete I set up a Wordpress blog for him. He used to write a daily newspaper column. I’m not exactly detecting huge enthusiasm :-)
Today they did first covid vax in Aus. The Astra Zeneca one yet to appear. Is going to be made here and has to pass TGA certification. ?Anyway they stabbed some old dears in nursing homes, some nurses, some police who are minding quarantine hotels.?

I am quite worried about my father. He can't get upstairs to bed. He has a hospital bed in the front room. I think it was the loss of my mother that really hit him hard. She was sitting 3 feet between the two of us & she said: "My husband lived on Sheepbridge lane." & he said: "What am I then, your fancy man?" We only had one continental holiday as a family. In '79 we went to France & he loved Monbezillac. The grapes are deliberately infected with fungus to increase the sugar content. I got him 6 bottles before Xmas & he said: "Well, I haven't seen this before!" That really hurt. John

Don’t have anything paying me in part time work. But Covid has stopped a lot of people asking me to do things. I am backing away from doing web page stuff and not been asked to do flyers and posters as no events on. I might actually have time for some stuff for myself…. hence looking into the iPad….. waiting to see what Apple is going to produce.?
I am trying to talk my husband into writing that best seller that Hollywood might pick up ?— no results so far. Plots sort of happen in front of us — or rather a lead into an interesting story and we mill it over but its not happening :-)?

There was a man on a plane & next to him was an intelligence officer with a dog. He said "Rover seek, he went up the right alley & came back on his handlers right hand" The officer said: "He's smuggling Cannabis, we'll get him at the next touchdown." The intelligence officer said: "Rover seek." He went down the left alley & put his left paw on the intelligence officers hand.
