Mothers Day this year is a little better than last year but with the COVID-19 pandemic you run the risk of Victoria being locked down again. Many people cannot see or visit their mums, including myself because the home where my mother is, is in lockdown whenever the Dan Andrews Government wants even tho there might be only 2 or 3 new cases in the whole state, which means no visitors😢. This is despite what the COVID-19 government sign says…
Even though this picture is not from Australia, this is still typical when you go to the shops to try and find something for mum be it from a stall or elsewhere – wear a mask they say
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 liked not much considering everything she does for every body 🤩
As I couldn’t visit mum all I could do was send flowers, 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 lockdowns or what might be, I couldn’t visit 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

Well it’s May already and well unlike last year we were able to have a COVID safe ANZAC Day.
But again like this time last year as we were looking forward to our Annual May Day cruise with about 12 others and all dressed the same – again our cruise was again cancelled due to COVID-19 🤬
As I said we were able to put on ANZAC Day in Wangi Wangi NSW. As President of the RSL sub-Branch we organised a dawn service commencing at 0530hrs, a march that kicked off at 1000hrs and then a main service at 1030hrs – enjoy some of the photos…
The pipes and drums led the march followed by the 3 Scout flag bearers, Veterans, other person, Scouts and Guides, 3 local primary schools and then Historic Military Vehicles led by a tank driven by Mr. Tracy Vadnjal
After the vehicles we had the St John Ambulance members and vehicle and then the local fire brigades and members marching. As a Veteran I was at the front so didn’t get to see the march as such.
What a tank… impressive thanks Tracy
I don’t know how they got on the roof… but they had a great view

I would like to thank Damon Cronshaw Journalist with the Newcastle Herald for attending and taking photos – great job. He he’s even on twitter as @JubilantJourno
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 😅 yes bike riding is listed as light exercise under COVID rules
Yes Ive changed since I was in the Army, but ask anyone, once a soldier always a soldier and remember…
We owe so much to those we cannot personally thank as they paid the ultimate sacrifice. They gave up their tomorrow for our today – Lest We Forget
