Hello again. I have become a grandfather. My eldest had a baby daughter this morning. Both Mum and daughter are doing well. Congratulations, finally some good news to share.

Shopped for few essentials & picked up mom's repeat prescription, must say got everything i wanted from our local supermarket, bread, milk, flour, eggs, sugar, loo & kitchen rolls.
Has common sense finally prevailed or was it just right place at the right time?

More annoying than ruining my day: 2/4 professors are radio silent over what their plan is for finishing the semester.

They will sing ballads of this. Oh well if you insist... *clears throat, hums 'Ballad of The Last Chance Saloon' from 'The Gunfighters'...* It's great to be a falcon It's a fine thing to fly I had plunged like a dagger On my prey from in the sky - Then she stepped from the shadows And I guess you have a hunch It was Tui's Sixie costume Surely made me miss my lunch!
Oh 'twas great to be a falcon As I swooped through the sky Skimming low in the sunshine And that squirrel's gonna die! For there's none can escape me Rabbit, weasel, fox or stoat But I missed that dratted squirrel In the dazzle of The Coat!
Yes it's great to be a falcon Soaring swift through the sky But I'm getting rather peckish Since my lunch passed me by! So perhaps I'll catch that squirrel On some other afternoon... But tonight it's eating acorns In the Second Chance Saloon! (takes a bow).
OMG. Thank you. You just made my day. It has been a loooong time since anyone wrote a poem for me. I think I might even have shed a little tear of gratitude.
Thank you for making me laugh.

Sudden Impact, my Clintfest continues, love the climax.
Micks Goon. "holy sh.t".
A silhouette of Harry Callahan with his auto magnum slowly starts walking towards them while Lalo Schriffin music score gives me goosebumps.

Went rummaging through some old boxes and I only stumbled across my complete collection of ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (plus sequels) didn’t I!
Looking forward to giving it a read during these particularly trying times. Remember relating a lot to Marvin as a particularly morose child so I wonder if anything will change now upon re reading.
Somehow I doubt it.

I just got a like from RTD on Twitter.
I know it’s such a little thing, but I’m absolutely over the moon about it!

So I possted the BF news on my fb page.. A friend of mine squeed over it because she loves Alex from a tv show he did recently. I told her how he was booked to come here 2 years in a row for a supanova comic con convention and had to cancel twice. Just the news he was to have been here twice got her all fangirling LOLZ. She is aware of BF as she has 5 children they are all Whovians so is her hubby..

*outrageous applause* Encore! Encore! (takes a bow). OMG. Thank you. You just made my day. It has been a loooong time since anyone wrote a poem for me. I think I might even have shed a little tear of gratitude. Thank you for making me laugh.
I thought we could all do with a bit of a chuckle right now, happy to oblige! Very pleased you enjoyed it.

There was ice cream at work today. Everybody likes ice cream. Ice cream is good. Beautiful warm spring weather outside today, even took the time for a walk at lunchtime today. Then I treated myself to some 4th and 5th Doctor serials which are now for the first time available for streaming in Germany from Amazon. They are just a few Euros each. Something to look forward to when I come home after work. All in all, things are not too bad at the moment, if we just ignore the ginormous black shadow looming over everything for just a moment. And take a break to see the silver linings.

Due to sheeply hoomanity panic buying everything.. There are literally No Specials in the supermarkets.. fruit n veg $ has skyrocketed so we cut back on portion sizes of aples/bananas/carrots/pumpkin etc.. Spoke to 1 of the Managers at Woolworths- the number 1-2 biggest grocery chain in Aust..
They are getting pallett loads of TP they are hiding them out back, allowing for the pensioners etc to grab 1-2 packets in the mornings. They are putting the little special floor stacks around the place because ppl are lemmings and will just stand in the TP aisle looking at empty shelves and get cranky and start arguments/fights.. Spread the Willy Wonka Golden Ticket around . good.
Sucks that the prices of everything has gone up. That's economics for ya.
Oh.. I spoke to my nurse, still receiving daily visits for 4 months now. SHE confirmed there are Nurses who are taking/stockpiling their gloves/hand sanitisters.. So they have an "Auditor", before they leave the head office they sign out the supplies they take and have to sign back in- literally counting the gloves in the boxes.
This is what we have come to..
Not made my day.
