17 – 18 May 2023. Adelaide – Melbourne – Abu Dhabi – Athens

Posted on 19/05/2023 by Greg

Deb was up early, silly early, she will sleep well on the flight.

I took Louis for a couple of walks around Veale Gardens, giving him a last sniff of familiar places before his holiday with Elise, Randal and Winter in Burnside. I dropped him off at 11am and waited a bit for him to calm, a bit! Elise had everything in control so I headed home to finish packing and helped do the last things you do before you leave your place for 8 weeks. It was strange leaving Louis, knowing he won’t be with us for such a long time. This is why Deb didn’t/doesn’t do the drop offs when we go away and leave him with Sitters.

We got an Uber to the airport and checked in. That’s when the person checking us in found that there was a slight issue with Deb’s passport. Continue reading →

#41. The WHO declares the emergency over

Posted on 06/05/2023 by Greg
From CNN 6 May 2023  — 

“Covid-19 is no longer a global health emergency, the World Health Organization said on Friday.

WHO’s International Health Regulations Emergency Committee discussed the pandemic on Thursday at its 15th meeting on Covid-19, and WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus concurred that the public health emergency of international concern, or PHEIC, declaration should end.”

So that truly is a wrap.

Our holiday blog resumes VERY SOON. Adventures to be had

#37 January 2023 Covid-19 Let’s not talk about that!!

Posted on 31/01/2023 by Greg

The biggest change that has occurred this month is the seemingly conscious decision of Governments and the press not to “talk about” Covid-19. Seems they want everyone to move on and live life as usual/normal/pre-pandemic. All this as waves of Chinese descend on the Chinese mainland and spread country wide to celebrate the Chinese New Year, and possibly catch/spread Covid-19. Many of these same people will in turn return to countries all over the world with consequences no-one is talking about. Continue reading →
