Looks like someone is anxious to see some foot ball?

Oh, it would be so nice to see a live rugby game right now (on TV, of course) or any kind of live sporting event. I say “any kind” but I don’t care about WWF “wrestling” that’s evidently about all that’s live now or NASCAR. But I’d love to see some hockey or cycling. 🙂 When we moved, we didn’t get cable TV, just kept Netflix and got CBS All Access because the programs we like are mostly on that station. Now of course they’ve run out of episodes because they can’t film. 😦 But if that were the worst problem we faced right now, we’d be even more blessed than we already are.

I confess I am finding the absence of sport on TV quite enjoyable, but I am also happy that our libraries are open again so I can stock up on books in lieu of the fairly boring TV offerings.
But I know what you mean; pinpricks rather than problems

Some of our libraries are open, I think, but I’ve been going the e-book route.

We opened a few of the larger ones first, but I believe they are all open now. There is quite a detailed process for using them, which is reassuring— though a bit time-consuming.

I have a friend who’s a librarian and she said the books go into a rather lengthy quarantine with they’re returned. I’ll have to check here. I’m not sure if you can go into the library or if you pick up the books outside. But it would be nice to have real books again.

How clever to put a mask on the statue! I bet that people will get the message.

I’m not sure that there is a message. We’ve never really been told to wear masks, and at one stage there was quite a heated discussion about it.

Also wearing a mask is not necessarily helpful in the fight against the Corona-19 pandmic. The debate goes on …

So timely Su. They have started footy over here and you can pay to have a cut out character put in the stands while you watch from home…

Oh, for goodness sake. What is wrong with people? Why can’t we just accept that sport as we know it and a lot of other (IMO more important things) are going to have to wait. Like holidays abroad. Or holidays at home. Is it really, truly necessary for everyone to have their summer holiday? When did it become a right? I didn’t go away for years when I was bringing up my kids. Couldn’t afford to. And the last three years we haven’t been anyway because my son was so ill and hospitalised. Such is life. Holidays are a luxury not a necessity. Waiting another year is not going to kill anyone. Allowing foreign travel without quarantine IS. It seems to be that despite all the good that lockdown has shown people about how our planet has improved, most people just want to go back to normal and that includes football / rugby / horse racing / holidays – take your pick!
