Chookie I am surprised as well. Today I am dropping off stationery to my DD in her office. Do I need 100 envelopes and reams of paper? Culled the jewellery. Shoes gone. Been drinking all the few hundred mils of various spirits so bottles are gone. This morning was MAJOR. I hit the plastics. Disposed of about 40 age old bits. YEAH!!!! Dumped them into the recycle bin and ran away! I do a lot of shopping on line including some food that I do not wish to carry home myself. Amazon prime has good prices and free delivery so takes the guilt out but also gives me something to look forward to. Very friendly with delivery drivers who know my name and know they can get a cold drink. Also shopping on line stops me from buying unnecessary crapola. Still go to the grocery store but the mask plus glasses plus hearing aids makes me uncomfortable so that is a needs only shop. Not much in the garage but it will be next.

The under the nose masks are hysterical. Avoid at all costs.

I find I do not have to check in at the door every time because of repeat places. I can do it on the app as I enter the shopping centre of from the coolness of my car so be aware that not everyone who you see fails to check in actually has. I have been questioned but am able to show that I have. Many people do no know this shortcut so it is a chance to educate them.

This year I am doubling my efforts to downsize, donate and dispose of “stuff” . At 78 years and no longer entertaining much I have no need for more than four or maybe 6 wine glasses. Just because I like a change. LOL! Multiple trips to Life Line with crockery, glasses, gadgets etc. Cleaning out the office as well I do not need 100 envelopes, 4 reams of photocopy paper and much more.  I like having empty drawers and spaces.

Thanks chookie. We are pretty lucky though I feel it will inevitably arrive here in Cairns. Some Victorian visitors arrived on Hamilton Island from a hot spot. Wait and see now. Challenging times for everyone. Encountered some Sydney visitors in Cairns yesterday. Don't know how they got here. Crazy.

Judy just be sure you can tether your phone and iPad if you change plans.  You can always use Telstra air Fon when out and about as well.Not so with other suppliers.

I have no problem at all with Telstra. I pay $60 a month for the landline and unlimited data on my mobile for $45 a month and that is across all devices and I have a few plus all the streaming I do on TV. My Bill is never over $100 a month. If I go over a certain limit they threaten to slow down my NBN abut that has never happened. Just spent a few days in the northern beaches of Cairns and I could not believe how slow the service was. No matter what plan you have nor what company you go with they all use the Telstra lines so as far as I am concerned it is all about location the number of towers and the speed. My service is excellent. Very lucky I am to live where I live for broadband though not much else!

Next you will be building a gazebo by the pond and making it an outdoor room where you can sit and feed the ducks while enjoying a glass of.
