    Please understand that in no way am I questioning your right to any form of opinion. My objection was that neither you or I,or anyone else in this State is in any form or 'lock down'.We re subject to some personal inconvenience, but that is a small price to pay for the wellbeing of others...

    Ron, just get it straight, Mate We are not in lock down. We have restrictions placed on us, but nothing like the rest of the world. Those in the the vastly affected countries of the world have genuine reasons for complaint, whereas we do not. You and I are uniquely fortunate as you slip into the...

    Nothing to report of any import. The glass must be half full. Think otherwise then there's not much left to cling too. Eventually, this will dissipate. Just remember that the Spanish 'Flu of 1919 did , to some extent die out, but not before millions of deaths and in those times medicine was...

    Weather wise , It' still a lovely day! Lyricts? Surely someone will know. Actually , while the south of Oz prepares for cold snap., it is still warm and humidish here.Spooky, I have given thousands of intramuscular (IMI), Subcut ( subcutaneous ) and IV infusions over the years. It is easy...

    My GP kindly faxed 'flu vaccine scripts through my chemist. Picked the same up yesterday and 'stabbed' my wife ! She,also, once being upon a time , a nurse retaliated and returned the favour. Good to get this over and done with, particularly under the circumstances we all face. Quite warm...

    Fancy working there, Merv. I lived my first 10 years in Bracknell so i know that neck of the woods, but not actually Broadmoor. Must have been bloody interesting working there Merv. Yes, Spooky, life at the old, as it was named ;Broadmoor Hospital for the Criminally Insane did have some sticky...

    I'm'no expert, but you technically should be 'safe' until next week,Ron. Happy Birthday in advance and welcome to the totally reflective but , minimally productive seventies. Rest on your Laurels, unless she objects. Cheers. M

    What is YOUR weather like today??

    Don't worry,. I spent nearly seven years in Broadmoor Hospital , both as a student and staff nurse. Those the were the days ( proof available) of Incarceration, with no lack of food , loo rolls and plenty of 'exercise-' for the none faint- hearted. The Butlins of Crowthorne! Whatever you...

    What is YOUR weather like today??

    Quite a pleasant day thus far . 29* the max, but there is a little nip ( not Yoko) in the air , indicating that autumn is on the threshold. Still self- isolating, but need to grab a few shopping items later. Schizophrenia is a useful affliction in times like thi;, there is always someone to...

    What is YOUR weather like today??

    Beware of Greek nerds bearing gifts! I think you deserve a nice free surprise ! Going to the quacks is an avoidable option . At our age, with our list of complaints , if a face- to face encounter can be averted, then please , Mate, think about using the 'dog & bone" Remember , the medicos...

    What is YOUR weather like today??

    Yep Ron, We too have had problems with Telstra , the same as you , but largely the landline. For about 10 days we were using our mobile phone in lieu. f you do have a a hand phone , Telstra will divert your service from the landline to the mobile. It does not cost you anything. Once the...

    My GI bod ;phoned me at 0745 the other morning. I wasn't impressed particularly because I haven't seen him for about 9 months and have minimal time for him. The feeling is probably mutual, but it me who gives a sh..! With the present covid -19 situation ,gastrologists are not front line troops...

    Smart move Buff. Living on an island , wa have done this for some years . Better selection and avoids being ripped off by the local stores. At the present time it pays to be cautious!

    What is YOUR weather like today??

    Cool and windy this morning. Some showers asr forecast. Virtual self isolation at the moment. CD & COPD are two good reasons to be wary, not that I am wrapping myself in cotton wool. I ain't that precious!

    What is YOUR weather like today??

    I envy you Buff, without going into details , quite often I have very disturbing dreams. The bog roll banditry continues here., despite constant reminders to the culprits that this is not a virus that is primarily associated with GIT problems. To address the tissue issue I have dug two...

    More rain, but the wind has abated a little it is probably around 25* , but seems cooler than that.

    What is YOUR weather like today??

    Overcast with 15 gusting to 20 kts. Much cooler., but possibly some rain later.. No further outbreaks of bog roll related violence in my neck of the woods. The stupidity of some people is truly amazing. God knows how they would have dealt with rationing during and after WW2., which I remember well.

    Diagnosed after 40?? Anyone???

    Just before the age of 50 following acute appendicitis, appendectomy, and peritonitis. Gma set and match. That was 26 years ago and counting.

    What is YOUR weather like today??

    Ron, I don't think that it fair to say that 'some people, especially health professionals' are not taking the CONVID-19 outbreak seriously.As far as the efficacy of wearing surgical masks is concerned, they are more effective in containing infections in the affected person rather than blocking...
