Thanks, kpc. Will tell niece to go to supermarkets in other areas to buy lobsters. Feeling envy of your lobster for Christmas dinner. Look forward very much to be your neighbours and we will hold you to that welcome home BBQ :) :) Great to hear that N has got 2 years of uni already - how...

Oh, am dreaming of lobster for Christmas lunch in the backyard. However, niece said she could not find any lobster in supermarkets near us - sold out! In past years, hubby would drive me to Sydney Fish Market around midnight to buy lobsters and fresh fish for the family Christmas lunch /...

We miss Mrs cove Christmas cake this year, but she did promise to save one for us - when we see you again. This may mean at the end of 2021, in this case, we will have two cakes waiting for us :) :) We don't mind quarantine / self iso at home (just have to kick a certain family member out while...

We will think about Qatar - but hubby is very wary of the 14 mandatory quarantine in a locked hotel room :( Was going to ask if you & Mrs cove would go to your Sydney place as planned - because of the new lockdown there. When you own a slice of The World, don't forget to get us home :) Just...

Did you have to go into quarantine?

We have been running down (fast) our £ savings to stay in the UK until we can return to Sydney. It looks like in early 2021 we will need to bring the A$ savings to the UK for living expenses, as it does not look like we will be able to return to Sydney for another year the ways things are...

We will have no choice but to get the jab in London sometime next year, else we will not be able to return home (Sydney). A jab certificate is likely to be mandatory to get on flights.

I was calling CommSec the other day and talking to a call centre staff. He said he was a QF A380 flight attendant. He said he hoped he would get his job back once the planes are back in the sky.

It will be "payback" time for the expensive education we paid for her high school and university 😆 Lovely that you and Mrs cove get to do lunch while the boys spend time with granny.

Thanks, kpc. We are trapped / grounded here, waiting for travel restrictions to ease. We look forward very much to be your neighbours and to see your house renos.

You do know what this means for us 😛 Yes, we will certainly get financial advice when we move back to Australia. At the moment, this prospect seems to be further away. I despair when I saw the photos of 15,000 anti-lockdown protesters demonstrated at Trafalgar Square today. Also the UK...

Landlord came yesterday and he mentioned that he did a 23andme test. I have been looking into this - not so much for ancestry thing, but to know my blood type and potential health issues (either genetic or otherwise). I called the GP clinic a few weeks ago to see if blood group was shown in...

Thanks, Flying mermaid. Have not done Tai Chi, but have done yoga and stretching exercises. Will look up Tai Chi.

Has anyone used back brace / posture corrector? I have scoliosis (curvature of the spine - like Princess Eugenie) and it was not discovered until I was in my adulthood so surgery was not possible. As a result I have had very bad posture - hunching and slumping. I have read that back brace /...

Thanks, Flashback. Good to know that I will still get the sign on bonus.

This problem is going to be ours when we eventually can return to Australia (borders open again). Hubby has retired from work in the UK for almost a year. We currently have 2 cc (in Australia) - one from CBA and one from HSBC. We will keep those, but suspect will not be able to apply for any...

Foxton Locks are hubby's favourite place to take our visitors when they visited us in London!

So enjoyed reading this road trip - would love to do this one day when we are back in Oz. Love the painted silos and all the photos. Thanks!

I like the fact that QF magazines are available via PressReader (and auto downloaded when available) - as I don't travel with QF that much in recent years, I do like to read their magazines (minus the ad pages). BA magazines are not available on PressReader, only via an app, and they have not...
