Lockdown 4
On 24 May in northern Melbourne, 4 cases of COVID-19 in the community were reported; this broke Victoria's streak of 86 days with no community transmission.
Lockdown 3
Victoria has begun its circuit breaker five-day lockdown, in an effort to curb the spread of the deadly UK coronavirus strain in the community..
Covid Step 3
On 18 October, regional Victoria moved to "Step Three" and the dreaded curfew is over, hopefully I will never have to rush home to meet a curfew ever again in my life.
Melbourne Heatwave
Autumn has been officially delayed as extreme heat sweeps the southeast of the country.
Aston Villa
I took my nephew shopping this morning for toys and tried out a new place in Bury called Smyths and we had a great time, well I did. There are some amazing toys out there for kids but I am not sure giving a child under 2 a motorised forklift is a good idea. We did not leave empty handed and came away with a 3 wheeled, battery operated ride-on police bike which seemed less destructive.
Blackburn
I went to see Manchester City play Blackburn on Saturday and it felt like an end of season game with the sun shining and being able to dress in only my t-shirt although I did see a few people sweating away with scarves on.
Leaving Service Stream
I left Service Stream on Wednesday after working there for nearly 4 years. It was a strange farewell, none of the new management came to say goodbye or even send an email so when it came to 4pm and time for me to leave I just picked up my bag and left.
Water Usage Part 4
Another quarter and another failed target, I have not managed to hit the 155 litres a day target which the water board tell us we should aim for. I am using an average of 202 litres a day but it is 28 litres per day less than this quarter last year. At least I am on the right track by reducing my water but at this rate by the time I reach target 155 it will have been lowered to 100 litres.
Emmanuel Adebayor
I have sent off my passport application so hopefully that will arrive within the next 3 weeks. I imagine it will feel a bit like when Charlie opened up the wrapper to see the golden ticket. Another great weekend from the city boys, the only let down was that Spurs could not hang on for a draw to complete a 7 game accumulator. I walked to the market this afternoon listening to the phone in from the UK and it was all about Emmanuel Adebayor.
