10 km

For those of you worried about the cat biscuits and the risk of my extremely pampered cats starving, I am pleased to report that the state government has extended the lockdown limits from 5 km to 10 km. This puts the Delacombe shops (easily) and the mushroom farm (if only just) within reach. It also makes the vegetable farm accessible to me, although it is accessible even at 5 km to Lindsey, who lives almost exactly 2km from here. 

Victoria has now reached one of the vaccination targets set by both the state and commonwealth governments.  We have reached a minimum of 70% of the eligible population who have had at least the first covid vaccination. I think it's about 40% fully vaccinated.  We are waiting to hear the state government's plans for the next few months as the state reaches the next vaccination targets. I think that only God knows what the commonwealth government is thinking - it seems to have got itself distracted and over excited by some submarines and the disgruntling of the French and Chinese governments. Great fun, I'm sure, but a bit of focus on the crisis in hand wouldn't go astray

It is a dismal day today. Not a day for picnics in the park or even a bit more sorting out of the garden. It's gusty, grey, drizzly, cold.  I have lit the fire and am considering a cup of tea. However, if I do nothing else today I must do something about the snails. They are eating my sugar pea plants, my teeny tiny carrots and my broccoli. In fact, I  might go out and do that now, while it's not raining and the sun is oh so almost shining!
