Covid Blog 9

Today was a typical Autumn day with a cool start followed by a sunny day with top temperatures around 17 degrees 

The morning was the normal wake at about 6.30 am with a look at CNN and early morning news to see whether there has been any evidence of a slower infection rate on the virus... there was sort of mixed news with Australia seemingly doing a bit better than other countries such as the US and Europe.

The only way there seems to be a likelihood of returning to a more normal life seems to be related to finding a antidote to the virus.. this seems to be a few months away at the earliest and we need to ready ourselves to this timeline.

Anyway it was off after breakfast to Zimt for the takeaway coffee so necessary to ready myself for the day

The guys at Zimt were again vey positive and I am thankful that I can get my “daily fix” from them...

After the fix I went home and packed a few things to travel to Rye to sort out renting the house next door... the agent seems to think I can rent number 2 in the current market as it is ... good news as I am not looking forward to painting the house on my own!

I traveled down to Rye I good time and went to the local shops to get “staples” for my stay down here!

After returning to the house I decided to do a shortish ride of about 40 kms to Safety Beach before making a Zoom call with my Australian Club mates.

The call was for an hour with 20 guys who normally meet at the Oz Club each month. This virtual meeting via zoom was good as we were able to see each other at our homes and talk about our experiences in this new situation with Covid 

It wa great to catch up with Pete Slattery who we have not seen for some time

We agreed that we should do this again to stay in touch

The day was a good one and another ticked off in this new way of living 

Now for the photos
