Sunday Lunch

So here we are, at the beginning of July. The second half of 2020.

Victoria is definitely evolving into a pariah state in the Hermit Kingdom on the Far Side of the World.  The number of CV-19 cases in Melbourne is growing. The border with NSW will close at midnight tonight.  Tower blocks in Melbourne are in hard lockdown. Whole suburbs are in slightly softer lockdown.

Who knows when the rest of the state will also be put back into some sort of lockdown.  I had better lay in supplies of wine!

But until then, we can still have up to five visitors at our place. On Saturday I impulsively bought a gigantic piece of pork, so Lindsey, Ian, Rupert and Hugo just had to come for lunch on Sunday to help us eat it.







Hugo, particularly, was a bit disconcerted by the people who walk down the laneway on the other side of our fence.  He is not used to complete strangers wandering so close to the house. Fortunately there isn't a steady stream of passers by, but enough that he felt he had to be vigilant. Until we called him in for lunch. He is easily distracted by the promise of food 🍖

Nothing  much else to report.  Things are fairly quiet at the moment.  Until tomorrow when I need to leave good and early to be at the surgery. I am covering reception for someone who is on holiday. This may come as something of a shock to the system!
