Mrs Bodie and I just returned from week in Singapore. Like others we had no wait at arrival for immigration. Arrived at 15.30. About 10-15 min wait for cab. Masks are very much worn everywhere even on street. Obviously indoors is a must. On leaving singapore if returning to aust have screen shot...

Our local Terry White also does supervised RAT test, will find out cost when Mrs Bodie and I get our flu shots this afternoon. Makes much easier rather than get to airport 4+hours before flight. We hopefully off to Singapore in 2 weeks time.

As one of the riff raff that flies at the back, everything will come down to price. Domestic flights I can handle without the extras especially for flights upto 2 hrs. International flights I just want extra leg room as long as all things are the same as previous flights. If I can preorder...

I dont think they want to lockdown, but unless they get his apartment building isolated and tested and info from him and uber to test and isolate passengers, and get negative results. He should have been wearing a mask driving uber. The big worry is where has he been in the community and not...

Im worried about qld coming out of lock down - Firstly- The Victoria situation- the came out of lock down - only to go back in week later. Secondly - NSW situation- more regional areas getting added to lock down. Thirdly- delta Strain. I dont now whether they will have some areas released...

We will get dates when federal election is in motion. I expect now that will in march next year to allow vaccine rollout to be fixed and hopefully fade in the memory of electors . They are hoping more vaccine will arrive to do 60+%. I cant see them gambling enough vaccine to arrive to prior to...

Mrs Bodie and I had second shot on Friday at Royal Brisbane. Very good set up now in place. We had appoitment time and skipped queue of just walkins and the 15 min monitoring was longest part of process. Both only have tender arms from injection, which is now clearing. Didnt see any lollies.

I had to bank a cheque the other day, went to bank and they said you can deposit it taking photo on bank app. I had other things to do at shopping centre and said they are talking themselves out of job. They have staff trying to get you to use atms. I was at commonweath bank at king george...

I have held Nab shares for over 30 years. That was my first investment, held by my dad as i was 15yrs old. I used to clean the bank branch and mow the yard in qld rural branches. Just got dividends since and share offer which i invested in. Now mortgage free trying to diversify investments so...

A little off topic but banks are taking longer to approve finance and release mortgages. We are selling a unit (EPOA ) and buyer had a valuer go to the unit 6 business days prior to finance approval deadline - we gave the 2 extra days until finance was finally approved. Our real estate also...

I finished work at 2am and now back at work at 2pm. We all brought in australia day food though.

Further - Fully agree with CaptJcool said Cricket Australia needs a good hard look at their schedule. I know covid but where is couple shield games before first test at gabba - then cont shield til before boxing day test ( 3rd or 4th test of summer) then you could do a shorter big bash over...

First up - Very well played India during entire series. One very poor session in Adelaide cost them the test. 100 more runs would have made an intersting chase in Adelaide. Gill is a find as opener. Australia - batting only smith and labuschagne had good series - i think pucovski has potential...

I think they will try raise the gst- but I also think the states will agree with that to 15%. no tax cuts - and possible temp levy on high income earners then comes on expense - will they touch family trusts, limit negative gearing , or the low hanging fruit of pensioners and the...

Not so much panic buying but picked up alcohol at the Normanby Hotel carpark - pretty good price but was pretty busy as they were clearing out so they will have no stock left - finishes tonight - feel so sorry for the staff though, but every body was was wishing them all well and hoping they...
