From lobsters to sick sheep. At an eatery in David Jones recently Catherine Horan of Warrimoo watched as “another customer handed the (very young) waitperson a stack of beautiful crisp two-dollar notes (C8). She laughed, thinking the customer was playing a game. The customer, and we other oldies at the bar, assured her it was real money. Still, she checked with her boss. He wasn’t sure either, but approved the transaction.”
Both Andrew Taubman of Queens Park and Nino Pol of Randwick have the same advice for Peter Bower (C8): change nothing else but rotate the bed 180 degrees. Hey presto! You’re getting out the other side of the bed. Tony Moo of North Sydney offers three options, “buy a new bed, change your bedroom, change your feng shui experts. Or all of the above.”

Greg Rutter of Musk (Vic) announces that he has “coined a phrase: ‘The Covid Kibosh’ – for when the best laid plans are scuppered by yet another outbreak. ”
“I too love the sound of planes in the morning (C8), over the sedate skies of Cammeray,” writes Garrett Naumann. “Sounds of the old country are equally as wistful. I copped many a blank stare when a 750 Touring bike purred past the pub and I exclaimed ‘BMW!’”
