MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

So sorry you have lost a friend!

Thanks. It was a long time coming. We knew several years ago her life expectancy was halved.

I did not realize you effectively had internal borders. We had some elements of that for a while but it seems to have gone away as an idea.

Yep. Mostly they check for plants & animals that aren't suppossed to move across the borders but just now it's people.

In terms of population, some states are much smaller than others. Those small ones are trying hard to keep themselves safe and economically productive. A couple of the big ones are having trouble with people disregarding restrictions and spreading the virus around. NSW in particular is having a hard time with small numbers of people poisoning everyone's well.

I read about an engagement party of 100+ people and no one was wearing masks. It was supposed to be 10 masked people.

Today is funeral day. It's been 10 days since she died, that seems like a long time to me but I guess it's necessary when people are coming from afar during a pandemic.

I'm aiming for warm poignancy rather than heartbreak. I fear her mother will be a hair-tearing wreck. Mel is the second daughter she's lost. Tanya was killed long, long ago in a motorcycle crash, also in Tassie. Anyway I hope Mel's mother can keep it together a little for the sake of the kids.

So I've just heard a friend has died. She had GBM. Diagnosed years and years ago, so she had way more time than most folks. She had two surgeries since the diagnosis and various treatments. She leaves an amazing husband and two children. She made her home and family in Hobart, so I guess I'm heading to Tassie for her funeral (I don't have the details yet). I will remember her as a shining person, singing out front of her band, huddling around a computer screen, eating chocolate, watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, writing insightful papers, cuddling her kids, and getting married.

I’m so sorry to hear this, but you remember her in a beautiful way. Buffy, what a cracking show…

Buffy was great. It’s such a pity Joss Whedon is a massive a******* though.

Chicken tax:

I must be out of touch. Why do you say that?

I believe he was called out for being inappropriate on the set of Buffy with the actresses to put it nicely.
