Happy Mothers Day Sunday 10th May

May 14, 2020 by countrymusicoutlaw

Country, General

It is a very different Mothers Day this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people cannot see or visit their mums, including myself because the home where my mother is, is in lockdown, which means no visitors 😢. This is despite what the COVID-19 government sign said…

Even though this picture is not from Australia, this was still typical when you went to the shops to try and find something for mum be it from a stall…

Or this one which is what is was like in Bunnings…

Now we all know what mums are like, they are the superwomen that seem to get everything done in their stride no matter how tough. They really do cover a huge amount differing job descriptions as the following picture states…

That pretty well summed up my mother when I was growing up and even as an adult as your kids no matter what age are still your kids.

Well I made Deb breakfast in bed which she must of liked as I found a picture of it on Facebook – yep that’s true 😲

As I couldn’t visit mum all I could do was ring and talk to her which isn’t the same. Theres no smiles, hugs nothing.

I love my mum and as I said because of lockdown, I couldn’t visit and neither could my brother who only lives in the next town but the nurses said they put on a nice breakfast and movie for the residents – not the same though.

You only have one mum so make sure you talk to her and tell her you love her and appreciate everything she does; after all, they sacrifice a lot just for you, quite often more than you’ll ever know.

So to all the mums… Happy Mothers Day!!! hmm one day just doesn’t seem to be enough for all they do now does it.

Anyway I have rambled on for too long, hey if you see me out on the road say gday or hit me up on UHF Channel 40

Till next time, take care, yours in country music – Leigh

Its May So The Good The Great And The COVID-19 Cancellations

May 1, 2020 by countrymusicoutlaw

Well it’s May already and we’ve been in lockdown or should I say Social Isolation with Social Distancing now for a while and today, yes today we are allowed to visit or have 2 visitors and well its a start.

This time last year we were getting ready to go on our Annual May Day cruise with about 12 others and all dressed the same – yes we were easy to spot so people hung around us and told their friend just look for the same dressed people; any way I digress… this year our cruise was cancelled due to COVID-19 🤬

ANZAC Day this year was a somewhat strange day as after 10 months planning we weren’t allowed to hold a public Dawn or Main Service due to COVID-19.

However 6 of us held a small Dawn Service without inviting or informing the public so that as per Social Distancing and Isolation no one would be present. I gave the service including The Ode with 2 laying wreathes 1 on the flag and one on the bugle and 1 assisting.

Later in the day Jason Becker, Tracy Vadnjal & The Newcastle Military Vehicle Club drove through in and around Wangi Wangi – thanks peoples

As it played on the external speakers people came to the end of their driveways holding candles. We finished and the residents remained for the Governments Dawn service being played over the radio.

As I said it was a bit surreal and different but the sense of community and spirit was still there.

Apparently they now consider motorcycle riding as light exercising so we are allowed to go riding – like duh what happened if you only had a motorbike what were they going to do fine you for doing some grocery shopping – unbelievable.

People complained because they were asked where were they going what were they doing and that they had to have a valid reason for going out – I found that hilarious as like welcome to my world 😂

Anyway there’s some sunny days coming up and I feel like light exercise might be the go, hell I might even do several hours of light exercise 😅

Anyway I have rambled on for too long, hey if you see me out on the road say gday or hit me up on UHF Channel 40
