Covid still very much amongst us...

 😷How's everyone going with the dreaded Covid?

So many cases here in Aus 43,000 a day on average and on the increase. Couple that with flu and it's serious for many; especially the immune compromised amongst us. Also as it's winter here the flu cases are high and hospitals have delayed any procedures that are not urgent to take the pressure off.

Having my fourth shot on Tuesday! Had the two...plus booster last December and now the fourth. Understand after 6 months the protection can wane a bit.

I really don't understand the opposition to taking the vaccination. No one I know has had any after effects. Not saying there aren't any of course but I feel they are exaggerated by the conspiracy theorists amongst us after all it was only a year ago many of them were still saying Corona Virus? So you believe in father Christmas and the tooth fairy as well! 😠😩

Really...I mean don't they watch the news...see the figures? Then if they do they often say oh well the media are telling lies. 

Can't win either way...

Deaths here in Australia alone since this started are over 10,000 and over 8 million cases reported leaving many with "long covid" and feeling very unwell for a very long time.

I'll place my faith in the vaccine rather than just stay ignorant. After all we would still have polio/tetanus/whooping cough/smallpox/mumps/chickenpox/diptheria etc.,  without vaccines.

Stay well everyone and take care of those around you😀🙏

Trouble at both ends of the scale......

Firstly //    It's called "elder abuse" and it seems to be growing for some unexplainable reason.  In some cases it's neglect...pure and simple... but in most it's stealing money that isn't yours from parents that are not able to look after themselves, or their money, properly. Often without them even knowing until it's far too late. Maybe as money becomes tighter for some...but even then that's no excuse!  Just reading about a case locally where a son living in another state stole...yes stole... over a million dollars from his elderly mother. Transferring the money from her account over a period of a few years and also used her debit card in unauthorised purchases for his own use. Leaving her with very little in her bank account to survive. She had no idea until it was almost all gone. Really who can you trust if you can't trust your own family...beyond belief really isn't it but it seems this is a common occurrence. More common than we think.

Just day dreaming....

  Just a pleasant quiet place I like to sit and ponder on things. Where I've been, where I'm going, you know the usual stuff. Watching the world go by as I sit under the shade of a tree listening to the birds singing and appreciating life around me. It's been a long and often bumpy ride to where I am today and who knows what tomorrow may bring. All good things we hope. That's what I always say anyway...as I buy another lottery ticket!😊 There always has to be something to look forward to or what's the point.  There is so much sadness in the world right now I know. Has there ever been a time when there wasn't any sadness in the world. If there was, I can't remember just when. There are people still preaching the end of the world as we know it and the doomsday clock, as it's called, is ever approaching the bewitching hour. Should we be nervous...should we be scared? I guess so but we seem to have been living "on the edge" for so long now I guess

On a lighter note...

 Do you talk to your pet? Of course you do, everyone does, although some would not admit to it 😃 "How did you sleep?...have any dreams?" I ask as I uncover my parrot...YES parrot!! I know..I know..but we all do it 😏 "Just going out now...see you soon", as I leave the apartment, I call to a bewildered looking bird alone in her cage..sorry house...don't like the term cage...think I have mentioned that before. On return "Hello love👋👋," and met with screams of welcome home or in bird language it could just  mean ...LET ME OUT.....LET ME OUT you idiot leaving me alone...what are you thinking...expletive..expletive!!  Which of course I obey and once the welcome scratches and more talking has taken place, she takes up residence on the bed...or the lounge...or the drawer, whichever is the preference that moment. It changes constantly and I obey every command.  Well trained...me.. not the bird! Pets...what would life be without them. I know they are sometim
