Ah, thanks, Bunyip. An update, since I refuse to answer all the personal questions the local paper want in order to get an online copy.

Yeah, been a few weeks since we went, usually leaving at 6am and getting the hell out by 1am but it had gotten worse and worse though I did prefer groceries from Coles Clifton Beach. Sure miss all the opshops we visited - I might have to pay new price for things one of these days...

I sympathise, 28, sometimes it's a treat to visit the 'big smoke' but this weather makes getting home iffy with a low slung car. I almost, I say almost, feel the isolation of those elsewhere in the world suffering from lockdowns however, remote without other people is our preference, anyway.
