Got my first jab on the weekend at this purpose built facility:
A temporary structure built on top of a cricket oval right next door to the hospital to handle a surge in cases. As of yesterday we'd had 124 total.

This is like being at a theme park ride where there’s staggered waiting areas so you don’t know how long the queue is for.
Although the ride part was finding the initial registration centre - there’s was about 15 people all wandering around in circles until a security guard drove past and pointed it out.
I’m sitting behind a middle aged male cop who has variously been trolling through Facebook and playing mobile games the entire time. The golf game was fine - then he played a flower arranging game. 🤣
Hope you said hi to @Crazy-Horse
Yeah I was wondering who the creepy guy looking over my shoulder was. He kept muttering something about how a Cantab once stole his lollipop. I even tried putting flowers on my phone to calm him down.
I have now had to explain to my staff why the fuck I was laughing alone in my office.
Really quite difficult to explain.
Well there is this cantab cop in Aus getting a covid jab and there is this other dude who has issues with Cantabs, and a flower arranging app, and....
Oh never mind.

Yeah def not at this end. I reckon if we get either 5+ cases tomorrow or any unlinked cases, Anna is going to put the wall up.

My holiday is more important 🤨
Actually, I'm not that worried. I've got a Plan B to hit Thredbo on the weekend for a week if she goes rogue.

Mrs Antipodean wants to spend some time on the farm for her birthday. Nothing is permitted to interfere with her birthday month.

60cm dump a couple of days ago and there'll be a good dump tonight. 👍

Only to people.who visited those sites I think?

Fuck airlines btw.
We just looked into changing our flights to Cairns from Sat to tomorrow to try and beat Anna's inevitable border shut down, and they want to charge us $2k for the privilege. That's more than the original flight cost for 5ppl.
Get fucked
-
while the world, and countries gleefully called coronavirus basket cases open up, with travel, sporting events, concerts etc
Petty public officials are imposing restrictions over two linked cases.
seriously, my wife's cousin, who lives in Chicago, is currently on holiday in Poland. No quarantine either way.
Voodoo is worried about flying to Cairns. How fucked is that?
-
To make matters worse, 70% of accommodation is only refundable until midnight tonight. The remainder completely non-refundable.
So if the border shuts we are out thousands.
So we can:
-
Risk leaving flights til Sat.
-
Cancel it all now, get some cash back, maybe 50% of total outlay, or
-
pay $2k more to go tmrw morning, but still run the risk of the borders shutting tomorrow while we are in the air and losing it all
I feel like I've been here before....
