ttbn,

I think Soot and Dazza's Gal are in a dilemma with all the Xmas-New Year outbreaks of the WuFlu because I think they are planning to bring in hundreds of thousands of international (particularly Chinese) students.

Now all the arrangements they have been putting in place with airlines, universities, hotels, etc. might be in total disarray.

Why do you think Soot and Dazza's Gal have always been against state border closures and criticising other states for doing so and why they have been so anxious about getting the international border open.

The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men ........

Happy New Year everyone!

My thoughts are positive concerning this year.
My husband is doing very well. He's been released
from hospital and has gone into rehabilitation which
everyone tells me is a very good sign. Thanks for all
your good wishes, kind words and concern. It helped.

Victoria has again imposed stronger safety measure.
Masks are now mandatory. Stricter restrictions will
follow - especially concerning visitors in hospital
and visiting the elderly. I've been covid tested - and
thankfully came up negative. It is scary. The waiting
period for the results is a bit unsettling.

Anyway, I feel we are lucky to be living in Australia.
Certainly our governments state and federal are not
perfect - but over all - our country is better than most.
And I am sure it will remain so.

I am looking towards 2021 - with hope!

Foxy ! Welcome back ! A lot of us have been barracking for you and your lucky husband ! OLO has been just that little bit boring without you :)

All the very best to you and your loved ones for 2021 ! Hopefully, it will be better than 2020 in every way !

Much love and good wishes,

Joe

Dear Joe,

Thank You.

I hope that this New Year will be a good one for us all.
Apparently in my husband's case it was an accident
waiting to happen. None of us knew he had a degeneration
of his spine - a pre-existing condition. He's now had three
operations and has come out of it well. He's now in
a rehabilitation hospital - which is amazing.

As I said previously - I am so positive about living in
Australia. The doctors and hospital staff, paramedics,
have all been amazing. Graham Young has been wonderful.
So supportive, helpful and understanding.

I am glad to be back. I need this diversion of OLO.
To keep my mind involved in other matters rather than
dwelling on negatives. Staying positive helps.

Welcome back Foxy, your input to the Forum has been sorely missed. Hope all goes well for You, Hubby and all the Family in 2021. A belated Marry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

P/s; Can't stress how important rehab is for a full recovery

Dear Paul,

Thank You and Happy New Year to you and yours.

My husband will be in rehab for at least another several weeks,
possibly a month. I feel happy that he's in good hands.
Having private health cover has certainly helped us.
