I had to make a dash to the supermarket (have been getting online deliveries & the fruit & veg done by daughters) husband immuno compromised and we are both over 70. Gosh it was scary - how hard is it to calculate the correct distance? When one woman came too close I got a fright, exclaimed 'ah'...

Slightly OT - had to go into Harvey Norman's in Frankston yesterday to buy a small heater (previous died being used whilst WFH) Maybe my understanding of 'essential' is different. My goodness the joint was packed and busy. I had to walk through the furniture section & people were seriously just...

I buy it regularly and enjoy it very much. Was chatting to a friend on the Gold Coast yesterday and was also recommending she try some of the Aldi whites. Her husband does the shopping and alleges that there's no grog section in the store he goes to. I allege male blindness. Who's right?

Thank you so much for this thread, clipped wings. Very brave of you to bare your soul and express so eloquently what you've been going through. I don't know you, however I too, send hugs and very warmest wishes. We're all in this together. SDtay well .

Trolling. As always the case with this one.....

Well being home all the time turns one's mind to cookery. I've been baking up a storm as we have been working heaps in the garden and it's nice to have a little something with a cuppa. I'm getting as fat as a trout! I've just bought online some Pilates equipment and yoga mats and we will be...

Yeah I don't get the Bunnings being open. How many things that are being purchased are 'necessary'? I have a fmaily member working there which is very handy as I give her my list - just garden stuff which is very handy whilst we are staying home. I nipped into the local shopping mall, on...

My daughter & a friend, b oth 19, did a a Kon Tiki tour which included a day trip to Gallipoli. They gathered at the edge of the cemetery & listened to the guide. She glanced down at the first grave, of a young lad who'd died at 19. Born in February as she was, and with our surname. It still...

Breathtaking

Oh wow that is breathtaking. Thanks for posting!

I nicked out yesterday to Karingal shopping centre to buy a few groceries, since MrMac is immuno compromised and over 70 we've been pretty much in self isolation for 6 weeks and our girls have been doing the shopping. Went first to BigW. 2 security guards on the front - doing nothing to control...

Yesterday I went to Karingal shopping centre for a quick food shop & for a replacement electric jug Into BigW first - it was as busy as on a normal weekend. The vast majority of shoppers seemed oblivious to the social distancing rules & looked like they were shopping for all kinds of things -...

Refusing to rise to the bait works. Trolls can't abide silence

Couldn't you use sliced bread, a la how we used to make jaffles?

That's brought back a memory and not a good one. Drinking - ok swigging Cold Duck on Williamstown Pier at 6am the morning after a friends' wedding. Very messy bridal party. I'm feel it's actually too long ago - about 15 years! But I'll keep it in mind, thanks

There have been other threads which indicate the poster perhaps has an inordinate amount of time to faff about, , hijacking the conversation for his own satisfaction and, I believe even more strongly, revelling in the attention. Doesn't care if it's good attention or bad attention, he certainly...

When dear friends were celebrating their Pearl wedding anniversary I put together a hamper with all things pearl -cd of The Pearl Fishers, pearl mints, pearl bath bubbles, you get the idea. I searched high and low for a bottle of Porphry Pearl without success. I'd be hoping to watch them try and...

My comments were based upon what my brother saw. Whether it's profiteering I don't know. He was in Hastings, a friend told me yesterday it also happened in Yea. We've just witnessed the great dunny paper debacle and how people are going crazy. I happen to think that a van load of people going...

I should have added - it's great you can track your parcels. Unfortunately the little counter they have showing where your parcel is - ordered - despatched - in transit , Australia Post neglected to add another - "vanished into the Great Delivery Black Hole"
