Day 36, 37, 38
My off week from virtual teaching this week, so lesson planning for next week has taken a lot time. If one slips up and doesn't adhere to a strict schedule, then you are likely to be un washed, unshaven and sitting in jimjams at 3 pm hanging out for a beer. Well, not this soldier. I even put shoes and socks on the other day. The lock down has had some interesting effects, one of which is the zoom contact from friends from all over the place. I guess we are all finding the time to re-establish contact with those we haven't seen for a while.

Queensland is easing restrictions from 12 tonight (Friday), but there's heaps of people jumping the gun. Of great interest yesterday, as I was having a red wine with the Chaine treasurer at 3 pm (it was a Holy Day so rule 2 doesn't apply), was 'is the 50 km unrestricted travel allowance a road distance or a radius?' I can't believe that conversation has come down to this. It was a serious discussion too, with references to TV graphics showing radius, but some commentators suggesting it's road miles. Why is this important you ask? Because my mate wants to go to Tolga to see a friend and it's 49.5 kms as the crow flies, but 95 road kms.

I see that the Victorian deputy chief health officer has had a brain snap and likened the Covid 19 pandemic's effect to the arrival of good old Capt. Cook. Her remarks were not complimentary and calls for her head have been loud and long. No chance, I say. Firstly she's Victorian and secondly, she's a she.

I have three active JCU business students that I am tutoring at the moment and apart from brushing up on financial planning and market structures, most of the advice is based on their use of language and the obvious cut and paste in bulk from internet sources. "The examiner wants to hear YOUR voice," has been written more than once.

Glorious weather here this week. Sunrise at 6.20 with 30 degree days from a chilly 21 degrees start. The humidity has all but gone and winter is approaching.
