yes, such truth here, my friend - we never know quite who or what to believe with so much fake news these days. we are slowly emerging from lockdown but many (self included) fear a second wave

Hello Phyllis ... with this virus returning savagely in Melbourne, the blame game is booming, but nobody is suggesting a solution - we are safe at this stage where we live, but the restrictions for visitors are strong - thank you Phyllis; stay safe - Lindsay
