on TV news right now

Thursday, 11.25am, day one of lockdown, NO new cases today. So far. 

Fingers crossed. 

The entire state is in strict lockdown, not just Adelaide.

Yesterday more than 12,000 people were voluntarily tested and testing is still going on.

    Thanks for the update. When we were first locked down, you had to isolate at home and await your test results that could take up to 3 days. By the end of lockdown it was less than 24 hours and in some cases, 3 hours. So I hope people don't have to wait too long there, although they can't really go anywhere anyway.

      Andrew; test results are faster now, so that's a bonus, knowing almost immediately if you have the virus or just a reaction to something in the air, like Jacaranda blooms. I don't think too may people mind staying at home, I know I don't. Many would probably go to the beach and get sunburned instead, so they're better off at home.

    Well that is good news, no new cases and all those people being tested.
    Hopefully there won't be anymore cases and if so just one or two...fingers crossed.
    Take care R.

      Margaret D; just listened to the evening news, still no new cases. A few people have been spotted sneaking a swim at deserted beaches and were given a warning.

    No new cases speaks volumes. Wish our politicians had the courage to do the same thing.

    If a short, total lockdown works, it's certainly much better than dragging it out with fewer restrictions.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.

Sunday Selections #718

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. you might need your magnifying glass or a high powered microscope to read the franking over the stamp: above the stamp it reads "secure your dog" and across the stamp "for safe delivery" - this was on a Christmas card that arrived through the mail from my brother. Excellent advice I think. an "Aussie style" Christmas window display seen in the city by "no-one" David Jones Store has its traditional Chri...
