A Lifetime of Royal Moments

Not everyone's gets to witness an historic event such as the coronation of a King in their lifetime. As the coronation of King Charles III approached, I received a call from one of my daughters. Her children had asked if I was around when the Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, and I had...

Run, Run as Fast as You Can

You can't catch me, I'm the Ginger Bread Man! Who remembers that saying? Well, we tried to run but it didn't work. The Covid-19 virus has finally caught up with us. It was inevitable that we would finally catch Covid. As much as we thought we could avoid it, the virus is too contagious to...

We Dodged A Bullet

I know I wasn't going to write another blog about Covid, but this one's worthy for histories sake. It's school holidays in WA and with it comes a chance for our grandchildren to visit. Covid is rife in WA right now with positive cases up over 7500 a day. Today's stats: WA recorded 6,085 new...

We Are Open

Yes, at long last, Western Australia is open to all states in Australia and to International visitors on 3rd March 2022 after two years of being an island within an island. It's been hard to keep up with the rules and regulations that keep changing, so I'll just keep to what is happening for us...

We Are Nearly Open For Business

Western Australia's border were meant to be opened as of today, 5 February 2022 to everyone, Interstate and International. But, two weeks ago the Premier had a change of...

Four Weeks Out

It's four weeks until Western Australia 'opens' its borders to the rest of the country. As at today, WA is an island within an island and currently have 110 active cases. Just prior to Christmas there were none and we are cut off from the rest of our countrymen as each state has now been...

Safe Transition

West Australian's have been locked down and locked down hard preventing any outbreak of COVID-19 from entering WA mostly since the beginning of this pandemic. We were open on and off to some states, hence the wonderful graphic that was in the West Australian newspaper on Tuesday, 21st December 2021. We sure are doing the...

Based on Health Advice

Those words will ring in our ears for a long time to come. Everytime our WA Premier opens his mouth, out comes the ummm's arrr's and the words "based on health advice" You would think by now he would have learnt how to do public speaking. By the time you get past his ummm's and...
