Re: Coronavirus update

Good for Qld.   Sad for Victorians who register ov er 700 new cases today but hopefully new restrictions will kick in soon.  I try to look on the bright side but have to wonder what the NSW Premier is thinking.  New cases everyday and some 'not linked to any source'.  Isn't now the time to go into lockdown, and mandatory mask wearing?  Prevention and all that.  Everyone I know wants it.

Nearly everyone's home, so the burglaries must be down.

 

But now they're stealing our groceries off the front verandah............

One of the kids purchased a four camera cctv kit from Bunnings for $170.  One of their friends has had the same kit for several years, trouble free. I helped them install it on each corner of the house a few weeks ago. I have to admit, its pretty darn impressive for the price.

 

It works just as well in the dark ( infra red ) as day time, motion sensor activation of digital recording system etc.

 

When they first got it, they had a look to see what their pet dog was doing when they where not home.  He stands back as far as he can get, takes a big 20 metre run up and uses a bench to jump up on the garden shed roof. From here he can look out over the neighbours yard, see whats going on out the front of the house and basically keep an eye on everything.......It was obvious it wasn't the first time he had done it and had it down to fine art.....it was hilarious.......

Re: Coronavirus update

Many decades ago, off school due to being 'sick' I noticed the dogs, two of them, over the road.

 

As soon as the humans went to work, the German Shepherd would open the gate. The dogs would stay in the backyard for the morning (east), then lounge in the frontyard in the afternoon.

 

About 15 minutes before the humans were due home, they would go into the backyard and close the gate.

Business closures in Victoria begin today. The decisions on what are essential and non essential seem reasonable, but one " essential " busines that jumps out from the others is newsagents. Is it that X lotto is an essential service people cant live without ?
