The hideous coronavirus is still affecting us, me more so than Anita. All I can do is rest and listen to audiobooks or watch the test match, and not think about the projects I would like to finish.
Anita subscribed to Kayo, and the main benefit is the volume level remains constant as there are no ad breaks broadcast at a higher volume. There are still ads, but only during long breaks, so we can mute the TV.
Our rear neighbours left their noxious tree and lilipilli hedge to grow too much without hedging. They finally had someone tackle this job, but it was a challenge for him to make straight cuts, especially where the hedge is nearly 2 m deep. At least half a metre was cut off the top of the hedge. Hopefully our gardener will come tomorrow to tidy our side.

I took Bluey for an early afternoon walk during a break in the thunderstorms. We are so glad he isn’t scared of storms.


There was no rain on Sunday, but it was like a sauna outside. I managed to walk a little further with Bluey and his friends, but need panadol, nurofen, and morning caffeine to do anything.
After Anita changed the sheets, Tilly claimed her pillows to have a nap. Bluey was at the other end of the bed until the cricket started, and then he stretched out on more than half the couch.


We can’t get Bluey to the groomer until January, so I trimmed his paws, tail, face, and ears. He looks regal in this old photo of him with long ears, but they are so impractical for fatigue-affected owners.
