One more operation in 3 weeks and it should be sweet. That news makes my day.

Tnarg 1,607 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The tree on the parking strip in front of our house has changed into its fall colors and the leaves have an amazing shade of orange red. Contrast that to the brilliant blue sky and white clouds and that makes my day. I am thankful for color. Tnarg Stokey Pete, LSP_K2, Uncarina and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_K2 24,630 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Found out today that I won four out of five auctions on a FB group, possibly all five, so that pleases me a whole bunch. Stokey Pete, MARU5137, RadBaron and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you make a full and speedy recovery. Secondly, what are you Aussies doing that the rest of the world aren't? In the UK, we've had more than 55,000 COVID deaths and counting. I can appreciate that Oz is blimming enormous and has a population about a half the size of the UK, but I can only conclude that we are doing something very wrong... Chris. I live in Western Australia and we haven't had community transmission for nearly eight months. The reason is a very early hard lock down and border closure from the rest of Oz. Any travelers, including locals, that return from overseas have to hotel quarantine in a nominated hotel (at their own expense - AUD$2500 per person). Australia is now ready to have no inter state borders closed as all the states now have no community transmission. Melbourne was the basket case because they let Covid get out of the quarantine hotels and had to do a severe lock down for about 6 weeks. The way forward for us (until there is a vaccine) is each state now has excellent contact tracing teams so that when there is a breakout, the cluster can be contained. Aussies are great international travelers but as Qantas says nobody will be flying overseas unless they are vaccinated.

Yes ..almost like a subliminal program.. she will no doubt show enthusiasm as she grows older... not just in plastic modeling but maybe Aviation itself! I am HAPPY as I am able to see MY gazillion members of the family. I should also say that I have climbed a few mountains while abroad and climbed a volcano from a very VERY safe distance and seen it's eruption and lava flow. Extremely Happy to be able to see MY many family members - Aunts, Great Aunts, Great Great Aunts, Uncles ,Cousins and many more Kinfolk....BUT delighted at being able to travel and enjoy the wonderment of the World and fascinating people. And fairly happy even if certain things go awry .. BUT at least I follow MY Heart and am HAPPY. If I can make someone else happy then I am truly Happy. MY happy-ness Comes from that too. Feel like dancing.... Get those feet tapping... Come On... Edited November 24, 2020 by MARU5137 Stokey Pete, MikeMaben, RadBaron and 2 others 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Confusionreigns178 162 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hi, Fastterry. Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, during COVID, the British government has just stumbled from one disaster to another. Back in the Summer, they opened up the pubs and bars - 'cos obviously heavily-drunk people are great at judging what constitutes good social-distancing! The gov are c@@@ping themselves, thinking that the UK's economy is sliding down the drain. I have a feeling that the economy is in the toilet anyway, but it's not become obvious yet (oh, joy). We can probably look forward to a DEEP recession in the next few years, which is great news after the global recession of 2008.... Anyway, I hope that everyone on LSP is healthy, happy and is not letting this current situation get them down too much. Chris. fastterry, Rick Griewski and mpk 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mpk 8,882 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 31 years these days is a monumental accomplishment. All the best to you and your wife, Steve. Today I am happy because one of my large tool boxes fell over and crashed into my bench. Stuff flew everywhere. Including my builds. 3 tanks and a sturmovik. The only damage was felt by my 1/72 Fw-200. One of the resin elevators is god knows where. Even these 2 builds were undamaged. Rick Griewski and Stevepd 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
