Also Anne. If you need anything know I'm happy to send you a care package anytime.

Wish I could express mine lol. I won't. It's obvious already anyway.

My city has never had community transmission. Brisbane has though but that is far away. I'm terrified of it so check every day. Every shop has hand sanitiser as you enter and wipes for shopping trollies. I see many not using it but hell yes I will every time. No real need for masks though so it's rare to see. If we have an…

I know how hard so many in the USA are working right now. I have friends there working to do many peoples jobs so they are stressed through the roof and it's because of the pandemic. I get why some are not coping. I wish this would all go away but I always have hope. They will sort out the vaccine soon. Totally believe it.

Zero new cases again today too. Normally that way other than when a cargo ship shows up with sick people or someone flies in from overseas but they are in very nice hotels which they have to pay for by the way for two weeks and tested then are let out to go home.

I guess we tend to not own as many guns as some countries, mostly it's only people with big cattle properties or people in gun clubs otherwise it is pretty rare so the law isn't so worried about telling us the law and most sensible people here do listen to what we are advised. We've only had 6 deaths since this all started…

If I do nothing can I just look at your abs instead? I can work hard at it.

I wish you guys didn't remind me of Milo! That lovely malty chocolate flavour is the bomb on top of good vanilla icecream with maple syrup and chopped peanuts. At least that is what I remember I had to have every night when pregnant ;P

I didn't know they did that but agree that is a good idea. I just hope they think of others and not just themselves when out. Everyone deserves to be safe or as safe as they can be.

I do hope you all will be safe. Disagree whatever. I still think if you are fine spreading it around you deserve to be in jail.

I don't mind paperpudding :) Yes I'm up north near the Great Barrier Reef.

Who ever diagreed well you are the sort of person that needs to think about your actions or go to jail since you only care about yourself.

No Covid fear here since we have no Covid except the odd person in quarantine from overseas. Makes me angry some won't do what they should in other countries to save everyone else but what can you do? I would put them in prison actually. They are potentially killing others and making the disease go on for longer.

Even in Australia where there is little Covid and they are doing all the right things there has been Covid caught in gyms.

I believe things will be fine soon so believe whatever you like and I will too. Wash your hands, distance and keep wearing a mask.

Oh sweetie. Keep being positive. I'll be there if you need a hand any time. I totally believe in staying positive through all of this crap. If you need anything ever tell me and I'll send it no problem. If you need just a virtual hug I'm here. We just have to ignore the jerks. I know everything will be fine soon.

Sorry but I can't help perving at those legs. ahem.

Walking is the best for our minds and health especially if you have somewhere nice to walk at. You did great. So happy for you.

There is higher chance of higher arsenic levels in brown rice apparently. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/are-you-consuming-too-much-of-these-five-good-for-you-foods-or-drinks/2018/05/28/f4c741da-5a06-11e8-b656-a5f8c2a9295d_story.html

Just give the person a couple of weeks after going to the wedding then it's safer to see them? Things where many get together are the most dangerous, especially indoors.

We have zero Covid in the community (Nrth QLD Australia) here and they are still doing all of the above in all the shops. I don't get it. Do they not believe in Covid or are just thinking of money? Disgusting. If I go into a shop and they run out of wipes or hand sanitiser I let them know so they can replace it. Guess you…

You do look great for your age. I'm 54. Where are you from? I'm Aussie and on vacation in the outback right now. Add me if you want. I'm not logging right now. I don't really need to lose much but love MFP so am still here.

This recipe from Serious Eats is good. I've done it a couple of times in my pressure cooker. I have a stove top one and an electric one. They make amazing stock and soups too. https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/01/pressure-cooker-caramelized-onion-recipe.html

What actually happened here was some people assumed we imported all of our toilet paper from China and would run out which is why the shelves were bare at times. I just went and double checked the brand I buy and they have a mill in Sydney and one in Brisbane. We do though import some from there.

We had our home flooded about a year before covid. Not sure if I was clear on that. I just meant we bought stuff for over 50 years like everyone does. Gone. Never mind. I like having less anyway.

When I was in Bali I'd get mild upset stomach every second day even though being careful with what I ate and drank. Regular Coke or Ginger beer helped if you can find them. Do you have a Soda Stream? Maybe you can make stuff yourself. I keep forgetting to use mine.

Umm my guess is they listen to a oompa loompa.

Lynn, we don't have that brand here but I don't mind posting something similar as a gift to you if you'd like. Let me know.

I didn't stock up either. I threw almost everything we own on the front lawn because it was soaked in sewage water when we got flooded. That was fun. Isn't life awesome?

Big hugs darling.
