How was your evening; mine was a little disappointing. Having run out of DVDs because the library closed on Monday, without notice, we settled in for an evening of ABC viewing. After the news and 7.30, we watched the Foreign Correspondence story about the lockdown in Italy, very interesting.

Then as I made a cuppa and prepared to settle in to watch episode 2 of Revelations I was surprised to see an announcement that the program would be postponed because the PM was soon to make an announcement.

OK, I thought, sounds like we are heading into a total lockdown, finally. While waiting the ABC filled the airtime with a rehash of the day’s news items of how the virus was being handled around the world. Italy is in total lockdown, the UK almost in total lockdown, the buffoon that runs that country between Canada and Mexico is still in denial and Angela Merkel has taken literally the old expression “two’s company but three’s a crowd”.

Well, fifty minutes later Scotty from Marketing and his ventriloquist dummy Brendan, finally made an appearance. I waited with bated breath (weird saying isn’t that) anyway, waffle immediately started to pour forth from his mouth and it soon became obvious that there would not be any substantial announcement, just tinkering around the edges again.
