That is great news from Melbourne! I feel like that may never happen here.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The weather-guessers were right this time. Got a little snow last night. My pepper plant looks a little Christmas-y. [link]

Our wings are not tired.
Well done, aurelia!
Awesome news from Melbourne. I'm less hopeful for us.
Super cool, Matt!
dcp, that really does look like a itty bitty Christmas tree.

Yay for the good news out of Melbourne, Billytea!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It really is great news, and it's been hard-bought. Melbourne's had one of the longest lockdowns in the world, probably the longest at that level of severity. (We spent over a month with an 8 pm curfew and a prohibition on travelling over 5 km from home except for essential work and emergencies.) Plus moronic anti-mask protests and the federal govt politicising the lockdown. But finally we're there!
Truth be told I love being at home 24/7 with the family, but the cost to others' livelihoods has been high, and it's a valid question whether we should have opened up a bit earlier. But it's surely saved thousands of lives. (Ryan has been really good about being stuck at home. He's suggesting this warrants him getting an X-Box. He may have an argument there.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
If I forgot to say, thanks for the baked oatmeal link, auralia.
I can't take credit for that. I did bookmark it to try out though.
That is excellent news, billytea.
Meanwhile, here we're reducing Dr. Ezike to tears and have Dr. Arwady barely containing her anger at the assholes who've taken us right back to where we were in March/April. They must be so tired.

Der. It was erin. That's what I get for relying on my memory. So... thanks, erin!

The baked oatmeal sounds good, although I'd skip the banana - I dislike bananas and, due to one of my medications, have to keep my potassium consumption as low as possible.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I don't want to be a braggart, BUT... I washed the dishes and put on a bra today.
I am also going to have an attempt at a bite or two of unseasoned chicken for dinner.
