The Life of Lyn

★ I’ve ‘had’ to buy myself a new mobile phone. I hate replacing technology before it’s broken but I’ve taken the easy way out in this case. The WA Government has bought out a WA Safe app for smart phones to make contact tracing easier

I think that a lot of people in other countries would kick up about our form of contact tracing

We had the same system of signing and giving contact details in everywhere we went for our lockdown and post lockdown period, and it worked for us, too. We haven't got a phone version partly because we are so small (pop 83,000 or so), and partly because we stopped having to do it once we got to 28 days covid free.

We are very happy that you have similar regulations in WA, as my 91year old mother-in-law lives in Perth.

Your 'vegetarian' meal reminds me of a meal my mother was at in her village chapel a few years ago. When someone asked for a vegetarian meal the server (a farmer's wife in her 60s) didn't even go back to the kitchen, just stood in the middle of the hall and yelled loudly to someone in the kitchen "Mary - just take the ham off one of those ham salads, gel, and stick a lump of cheese on it.."!

Your tree looks very festive - and your Lebkuchen look lovely.

Yes that would make you very happy. I consider Western Australia to be one of the safest places in the world to be right now.

Yep that sounds about right.

Your Christmas baking are looking so style, professional and yammy that I'd thought that it could be an idea for just making a photo record that you would have decorated with them your mentioned tree, to invite neighbors children to eat them all out with some question game.

It's sad but I don't really know my neighbours anymore. In the past I would give some of my Christmas baking to the people who lived to the side of me and to the back, but they have gone now.

I suppose that if you feel sad about that fact you could always change this - just go around your district with some official social bullshit and make new friends, or visit some sport zone to make some friends of your own age and hence make connection with their relatives if you will of course when Covid dictatorship will be eased somehow... if ever it will happen at the farm financial west zone...

Wow, that Christmas baking looks like it was a lot of work!

I'm debating getting a new phone. I'll be curious to see what you get.

They weren't the easiest think to make, but now that I've had a practice run I'll be more efficient at making them.

I bought a moto g 5g plus phone

So far I'm very happy with it, though I'm still coming to grip with it. It's got a very good long lasting battery

Yay for Lebkuchen! But the allegedly vegetarian dish at the first meal sounds like a bad joke indeed.

They must think that vegetarians eat just like meat eaters except minus the meat.

Yay for Lebkuchen!

It was a lot of trouble but it tasted really good.

I love the look of your baking, I may make some shortbread but will be it for this year.
In today's society you would think most places would have a vegetarian option, I wouldn't have paid for what they gave you.
I had to get a new phone earlier in the year, but I haven't added that app.

I wouldn't have paid for what they gave you.

We went with a tour group that advertised those sorts of trips.

The trip was $65 (except it was subsidised $10 by the NS), so only cost me $55.

That included the bus, morning tea midway down to Dwellingup, and the Lunch. So it wasn't so easy as to not pay for it. Also to not pay for something you have to send it back before you actually eat any of it. I doubt that they would have then knocked me up a vegetarian meat. I would have been bloody hungry by the time that I got back to Perth.
