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"

I called a friend yesterday and she immediately broke down, sobbing for about ren minutes. Fortunately she's ok financially but terribly distressed about what lies ahead. I'm also missing grandbabies but my daughters too, just want a lovely big hug. On the upside - how good is this buying on...

I guess besides essential front line medical troops, supermarket workers, there are still people whose jobs are absolutely essential and that would be those working in travel claims department,. Under the pump and then some

I've been out in the garden solidly for a week mostly in the back garden. High fences all round, we live in a court and neighbours either sides have their driveways on opposite sides to ours. So the only time we see them is if driving past (cheerily waving of course) and when in the back the...

Not sure...son in law's a detective; and as "Pa" is one of the few words our grandson can say his absence might be noticed. Dunno what I'm grizzling about, I've been trying to amend some of his habits for 49 years - but I won't be defeated!

I've got 2 compost bins AND a worm farm, and 3 raised veggie plots.....hmmmm 1585082230 One of my English relos emailed me earlier - to remind me that the last thing out of Pandora's box was Hope...

We might be having a funeral around here if MrMac keeps offering 'helpful' suggestions as I toil away on the huge gardening project (we moved house 7 weeks ago and embarked on a major prune/tidy up). We were saying last night we dodged a bullet when we auctioned our house last year & bought this...

Ask yourself which of all the countries in the world will benefit from this? China first and foremost. They will come out of this totally tooled up, cashed up, minus a few million citizens, one expects mostly the elderly who would likely require care of some sort as the population ages. Heck...

I am so missing seeing the grandchildren

Maybe not watching the news but hells bells they are never far away from a computer, and unless everything on their computer is in Swahili surely a nuggest or two about the situation must be getting through?
