You are definitely correct Marina. Victoria and the rest of the world WILL get through things. Hopefully Victoria is on the down hill run for severe lock downs etc now. We have been very lucky over here and I just hope it continues that way.
We hope to go away for 4 nights on Monday. This time we plan to go out east of Perth and travel round the little country towns. Quairading will probably be our first overnight stop.http://www.visitquairading.com.au/

Cookie, do you know just how jealous I am that you can get out and about???  The highlight of my day these days is to go and stand in a queue in the post office so that I can post an order off to a customer - if I am feeling really daring, I sometimes slip in a visit to the supermarket or the bank!

Had a silver lining today ... a new jigsaw arrived in the mail this morning, just in time for the weekend.

The Victorian post office is sending mail to Sydney to be sorted, then it is coming back down here, then going out for delivery!  Even Express Post is taking ages.

The tracking would be good if you can see it but we haven’t been able to on our parcels

I don’t know when you posted my sachet Marina but it arrived today. I’ve pm’d you as I can’t send emails at the moment.

That's good news, Judy, and very fast. 

Thinking of you and take care.

Your turn will come Marina. It must be so very hard though.
This morning I popped out and grabbed a few things for our mini holiday that I couldn't get on Wednesday.

I have been buying quite a few books for DH on line lately and the PO have opened one and them repacked it in plastic.  I don't know what they think I have been buying.  Some of my parcels are taking ages to get here from Sydney.

I had my hair cut this afternoon.

In NSW, we are only getting mail delivered every second day. Apparently parecels are backing up and they are getting priority.

We get about 2 mail deliveries a week now. Not very satisfactory. We had 4 deliveries a couple of weeks ago as the man next door rang and complained.

Lovely flowers Chookie.  We had our Camellias pruned earlier in the year so not many flowers this year.  They were too high and were blocking the spouting with their leaves.

Chookie they are beautiful. We are camped in Bruce Rock tonight. It’s a lovely quiet place.

We visited Kokerbin Rock today. It is the third largest monolith in Australia. It was very impressive. It was quite hot so we only walked part way round it. I was keeping an eye out for snakes.

Beautiful cookie, it looks like you’ve chosen the right time as far as the weather goes.
