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

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.?
That is the trick John to keep the mind busy, make small goals. ? I don’t always succeed but then there’s always tomorrow.?
Next project is shop for new suitcases. Plan an escape. ?Can’t go anywhere without suitcases.?
Sending virtual hugs?

Astra Zeneca is to be made here in Australia in Australian labs but then has to pass tests and registration in Australia. More Pfizer vaccine arrived in Australia today. But PM said he always knew there would never be enough for down here. So that’s why they’re taking the path they have. We’re in the sub tropics to tropics so vaccine that doesn’t need same refrigeration is the right choice.?
Our conditions are much different.?
I will keep across latest ideas down here.?
Our accountant told us today his wife had a flu shot only recently and ended up in intensive care and nearly died. That’s why I don’t do it.?
He has some immune problems to do with a form of arthritis and on weekly injections but he’s sweating on covid vax. He can have mine ??♀??

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 am not against vaccinations but I myself will not be queuing because of my food intolerances and reactions to prescribed medicines and anaphylactic episodes. It started with a raging pencillin allergy and has got worse over the years. I have never had a flu vax - but then I’ve never had the flu. Last time my husband drove me to hospital covered in hives and swelling up ?I was on a drip for 2 hrs because I’m allergic to the propellant in cortisone injections. Medical opinion so far seems to think for me it’s a no.?

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.?
