So, what happened today?

A long, quiet winter has begun as I go on the dole for the first time. No guilt here, I've earned it.

As I began to rake leaves in the back yard, hail started. Heavy duty, too. That was weird raking leaves and ice pellets.

Later it snowed. I opened a nice bottle of wine and watched car racing (NASCAR). When the race ended hours later, it was still snowing. And quite dark.

I'm going to need more wine. Drinkable but affordable. Hope that's do-able.
 
Gonna go play footy with the lads today. A game today and one Wednesday before all the astro places close.

The hardest part of lockdown was not playing with the lads twice a week. It is a huge part of my social life as I play with 2 different sets of mates who I don't see otherwise.
 
Got up, had a lovely breakfast and now off to collect winnings. Then off for haircut

Ahhh. Nothing more relaxing than sitting in the barber's chair for 30 mins or so - not the competitive mullet grower from my prime - and having a good gab with the barber and anyone else listening in. Great place to solve all the world's problems.

Mind you, nowadays, the barbers make us book a time slot via Facebook and the next up has to wait outside until I've cleared the shop and the chair is sanitized. So it's a bit less gabby than in normal times. But there's a second barber two chairs away with his client, so it can get lively.

Still, nice to just let someone else take charge for a while and yak away about anything and everything. He's from Baghdad, via Italy, so plenty of global issues get bandied about.

I love a chin wag with the old barber, Italian bloke mine sound fella, he trades off free coffee from the local pub for haircuts with the staff, i am glad its coffee and not beer ha.
 
Cladding (internal) one of the walls at home with timber, left overs, offcuts etc from the year long renovation project. Nothing goes to waste.

Then kids, visitors etc can draw and paint on it if they please, the more random the better.

Anything left relegated to kindling.
