What are you doing today ??

[Stonesie]

Does your mum make them to order? Mind sending me her details? I guess we all need some soon.

I will ask and get some pictures, hers is covered in dinosaurs..

Apparently not. It seems that Covid-19 is more or less strictly an airborne virus (which also can adhere to surfaces)...there's nothing to suggest that midges, or any other insects, are carrying it and/or spreading it.

As I understood it, the virus is thought to be transmitted primally by contact transfer (hence all the handwashing, gloves etc...).?

As those midges are obviously "contacting" you (hence your post complaining about them) & presumably lots of other people, it seemed entirely plausible that they would be a medium for transmission.

But hey, what would I know.. - Just as long as those midges don't catch it, I'm happy

Oh, I wasn't complaining about midges...that was Kiwi who mentioned them.
Now midgets on the other hand...now there would be a legitimate gripe.

My mistake Darren, I was confused with it having been you who countered my point mate.

Still hung up on that self loathing Dazzle.??

[D41]

Yup. That's why I always carry an extra sock.

Yes, she's even found some fabric online with handprints similar to the site logo and ordered it, should be here on Monday.

Look at that! It's a Brother 302 Dressmaker Model..!!! Mid '60s thru to '72-ish... and the only thing better than a Singer, if my mommy is to be believed.
Table-mount, too....very posh.

No idea if insects can transfer, but even if it was plausible the virus load would be rather insignificant I’m guessing.

In my situation there is very little risk even if it was possible. I was in a quarantine facility with other work mates who like me are tested the day we arrive and the day we leave and temp checked every day. Also in the Northern Territory they have had one case in the last 6 weeks and that was an incoming US Marine that went straight into isolation.

I’m going to guess your guess is a pretty good guess

I'm going to guess you guys are good guessers

[kiwikrasher]

I'm going to guess you guys are good guessers

I’m going to guess you really don’t need to guess if we are good guessers because you know we didn’t really guess I’m guessing

I’m out

[kiwikrasher]

I spent 10 of my 12 hrs at work trying to get my new company email configured on my desktop. We are running a hybrid system of half our old companies IT and half the new companies. We can access our old emails but all new emails can only be sent from our new account and emails sent to either account land in the new account only. And a similar situation on onedrive and Microsoft365.

So I spend nearly $800 on 4WD recovery gear online and researching advanced 4WD courses instead of working.

[Cav]

That situation is fatal isn't it, Kiwi! It's why I ended up researching car cleaning so much. I had severe laptop issues and about all I could do was go on the web.

It’s stuff I had planned to get as I’m limited to where I can safety go 4WDing without it, but yeah boredom and lack of distraction is dangerous offshore for internet spending!

The kids and Jess all enjoyed the bit of off-roading we did last break so it’s well spend I hope.
