Semi-isolation Bunyip, and all care taken when out.

Went to Specsavers this morning. Less staff working. One door in one door out. Appointments mainly, only 23 allowed in store.

Almost no-one around in Cairns Central. Although Coles looked busy.

Went up to Snoogies in the Mainstreet Arcade for a takeaway salad & fresh juice. They plan to stay open for as long as allowed, although less & less customers.

A few cafes on Grafton open, some with single spaced chairs on the footpath, no tables.

There are stallholders setting up at Rusty's, so there'll be a few of the stalwarts there tomorrow at least. I've decided to go in as usual at 5am.

Chemist shop at Manoora next to Omega medical centre is now making & bottling their own sanitiser. Hate the stuff, but theirs is really good. No extra horriblestuff in it. Spray bottle, plus refills available.

The occasional person with a mask on. Mainly Asian, but Europeans as well. None available to buy.

Lovely rain on and off all morning, city and Manoora. Nice weather to be under a roof, looking out and enjoying it.

Cant wait to get home now. Pick up the car late tomorrow, leave early Saturday morning.

Thanks for that forecast Ambient, fingers crossed for at least a bit of rain out of it, before water from the sky disappears for another 9 months...

Edit: on Monday I heard a second person in Cairns tested positive. Wednesday my doc said there were 8.
