History

 I’m sorry, but if I save all of my covid purging to just Mondays, my Monday post will take 6 hours to create and 12 hours to read!

For that reason, I’m putting this link up today. It gives you the criminal history of Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies.

I don’t even understand how they continue to operate but I guess different laws and rules apply to such a money making machine. They can get away with purposefully providing drugs and medication that they know kill and injure human beings.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2875889/ takes you to this …

That’s all for purging today.

I had a good day of sales and I got my art on this afternoon. It was a great class and we were very productive with everyone pitching in to clean up when we’d finished.

We hung around for an hour afterwards with nibbles and drinks and had some big belly laughs.

I cooked up crispy skinned chicken with vegetables for dinner.

We watched a movie on Netflix called “The Starling” 😢😭😢 It was very good with some great actors like Melissa McCarthy, Kevin Kline and Chris O’Dowd. It’s not a comedy, although there were some funny moments but it was very moving with a nice message.

Adoring Husband and I are driving into The Bay tomorrow to purchase a new oven. This will be our third oven in 13 years! We DO use our oven a LOT.

There goes my Sunday in bed but Monday is a public holiday so a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

Now it’s time to sleep.

Nite all.

Wet n Wet

Last nights (Thursday) storms brought some deliciously heavy rain.

Tonight we’ve already experienced one mighty storm with a good downpour …

There is another line of small storms joining up and heading this way …

The long loud rumbles of thunder sound so ominous and there was one strong gust of wind that made the windows shudder.

The scattered showers throughout the day kept my customers away and again, I didn’t reach my happy minimum in takings.

I live streamed the second day of the Supreme Court case but missed the last hour or more because I had a visitor.

While I could have attempted the chore of cleaning my desk … which has been on my ‘to do’ list for weeks … I chose instead to practice the art of procrastination. Not that I need to practice because I am already very good at it!

I priced and displayed the new jewellery …

I also ordered some more Serenade wallets and some of these in different colours … 

Unless sales go crazy, my only other orders before Christmas now will be clothing.

Sales for this September were up on last September which makes me very happy!

Adoring Husband helped me set up the art room ready for Saturday.

I enjoyed my day.

Our oven decided to die tonight so instead of the usual oven baked chicken wings from Adoring Husband, I poached them in home made chicken stock, honey, ginger and lime with a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. When they were cooked, I browned them under the grill.

Bloody nice.

Now it’s time to sleep to the sound of low stormy rumbles in the distance.

Nite all.

Other Decisions

The Fair Work Commission made some decisions on Monday regarding mandated vaccinations.

If you want to read the 44 page document … https://www.fwc.gov.au/documents/decisionssigned/html/2021fwcfb6015.htm?fbclid=IwAR3Rbn6ZuHKhmpj1iLL3vfU8vLQPkxFmz20WDrUwjpKI2Yj3HIV7wgl1Xxs

No industry, including public health, is allowed to mandate vaccinations for reasons such as “the World Health Organisation states that the majority of people who contract Covid 19 will recover and won’t even require treatment.” and “this is a clinical trial and should only be voluntary.” and “there are side effects and the long term effects are unknown”.

Just to name a few.

This information has been available for all the world to see, hear and read for a week. Has it been mentioned in the news?

Of course not.

Ok, I know I said that I would only purge covid stuff on Mondays, but this is a big deal that I found out about today and I couldn’t wait!

End purge.

It was pretty quiet in the shop today and I didn’t quite reach my happy minimum.

This gave me time to do some filing … until I ran out of folders to put my files in … so I photocopied all my receipts.

I logged into the Supreme Court YouTube live feed of the big court case regarding mandated vaccinations which started today. I was one of almost 50,000 people logged into the channel. It lasted for about four hours and will continue tomorrow.

I actually made myself some breakfast this morning - plain coconut yoghurt, blueberries, banana, macadamia nuts and powdered wild blueberry. It was delicious and quite energising!

This afternoon I received a small box of silver jewellery in the mail with some lovely pieces to sell in the shop. I’ll take pics tomorrow.

We ate leftover roast chicken in gravy with a big batch of broccoli, cauliflower and snow peas for dinner.

There seems to be a giant line of storms heading in our direction tonight and I think they should be here in about half an hour. 

I’ll attempt some sleep now.

Nite all.

Imagine

Imagine a world where every wealthy person held these same values - even if they used just a fraction of their wealth …

Sadio Mane, a Senegalese soccer star that plays for the British team in Liverpool, earns approximately 10.2 million dollars annually and has given the world a lesson in modesty after fans spotted him carrying a cracked iPhone. His response is legendary:

"Why would I want 10 Ferraris, 20 diamond watches and two jet planes? What would that do for the world? I starved, I worked in the fields, I played barefoot, and I didn't go to school. Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools [and] a stadium; we provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive a little of what life has given me," Mane said.

THAT is selfless and a lovely way to make the world a better place..

My day did not BOOM today. It was a slow day that just reached my happy minimum.

I had four boxes of stock delivered so I needed that quiet time to get everything displayed.

Tomorrow will be filing day.

Adoring Husband drove into The Bay with a ‘to do’ list for me and was almost 100% efficient.

He had last nights leftovers for dinner and I had a handful of fresh prawns with a homemade seafood sauce.

I’m very tired tonight because I forgot to cancel my early morning meditation alarm so I was awake ninety minutes earlier than necessary and I went to sleep quite late. I’m too old for this!

The only answer is to go to sleep now!

Nite all.

Boom!

Our coffee morning with just The Brains Trust and Beauty in attendance ended much earlier than usual because I got busy in the shop.

The Happy Hippy came to clean. Love it when she’s done her work.

It stayed busy until 12.30pm and then it went deadly silent.

I did have a visitor in the last hour and we discussed all things covid. I don’t have a name for her yet but she’ll be moving here soon and I’m guessing she’ll get a regular mention here because we have a similar mindset about the current situation in Australia.

We chatted for over thirty minutes before Adoring Husband arrived to close the shop.

It was a great day of sales! Better than a blinder but not a record breaker … I’ll call it a Boom day!

Journaling was great. Forty five minutes of talking and the same of writing, so it was productive.

We didn’t have to set up for meditation because The Gypsy has other commitments tomorrow. This means I get to sleep in!

It also meant that we got home thirty minutes earlier than usual.

AH had already started cooking the baked chicken and vegetables for dinner so I put my feet up and relaxed for the afternoon. My only contribution was making the gravy. Dinner was delicious!

Vegan Chickie is still keeping me up to date with my girl’s growth …

All in all it’s been a pretty great day. 

Tomorrow will be just as good.

Time for me to sleep now.

Nite all.

My Decision

I’ve decided to use one day each week to purge my covid knowledge here.

Because I can 😬

Since Sunday is my bed study day, I’ll post my purge that night and you, if you should choose to accept my challenge, will read it on Monday.

Otherwise, now that you know what to expect on Mondays, you can also choose to avoid it.

Fair warning.

My weekend has been completely unproductive with most of it spent in bed watching videos and  interviews, news footage, phone camera footage from every angle of protest marches, checking data from all different country govt sites regarding covid and vaccinations and looking at everything posted on the uncensored platforms.

So I guess it was a bit productive - just not in ways that would improve the cleanliness, tidiness or order of my bedroom or house!

I removed myself from the bed at lunch time, showered and washed my hair and spent some time with Adoring Husband. We watched a Margo Robbie movie called ‘Dreamland’ which I quite liked. It was nothing spectacular but it was a decent movie.

I made my version of a zucchini slice for dinner and Adoring Husband asked for a second serve. It was quite tasty served with a tomato, cucumber and avocado salsa. I also chopped up some mango with mine.

I have very much enjoyed my weekend and am looking forward to work tomorrow.

There’ll be no meditation this week because The Gypsy has a specialist appointment so I’ll get to sleep in.

It’s almost midnight!! Sleep time for me.

Nite all.

Sorry Not Sorry

I was busy watching the second half of a five hour video so I didn’t get to my blog post on Saturday.

That video helped make sense of the BS currently overtaking our country.

In another two years, our fear will override our conditioning and complacency and we’ll wish we had this time to do over and do things differently.

The changes that have been planned since the 90s have already begun to be put in place and this, The Lucky Country, is fast becoming quite the opposite.

But that’s a story for another day because I know you’re not ready to hear it yet.

Just know that you are NOT seeing or hearing the truth on TV and you should be feeling uneasy about our future for very different reasons than what you’re being told.

Even though it was crazy busy in town and the queues in the supermarket meant that ALL the cash registers were operating, Saturday was disturbingly quiet in my shop.

One of my few customers was the lady that I had words with on Friday! I didn’t scare her off after all!

Sales were very low and I didn’t even come close to my happy minimum. Lucky for me it was a great week to cover it.

I enjoyed my free Saturday afternoon by watching the NRL preliminary final between Storm and Panthers, followed by the AFL Grand Final between Melbourne and Western Bulldogs.

Did a stack more research.

Today (Sunday) was spent in my favourite place all day. Bed.

I dipped my toe in the pool and then stepped into it up to my knees. Still a bit chilly but very close! It was a year ago on 24th September that I had my first swim for the season so we’ve wound down the umbrella to allow the sun to warm up the water. I hope I can jump right in soon.

I didn’t even get up to make dinner. Adoring Husband made his own paleo pizza.

It was good to see our nurses out in force today protesting against forced vaccinations …

I still have a day to play with tomorrow and I’m not even sure how I’ll spend it. I’ll think about it tomorrow.

Nite all.
