Mr FM doesn’t have much, but the bit he has is starting to look very 1960s :)

For some time I have wondered how much of my hair has turned gray - now is the opportunity to find out.

My hair will go darker in places. And grey in others. Lily Munster? 🧛‍♀️

I saw her lawyer being interviewed. I think even the reporter was showing his disgust.

Looks like the forecast is high-balled.

They forecast 5220 for 6pm 1 April (range 5080-5970)

Figures are in for the big States (4800 to 2pm) with the smaller States to come so we won’t make that figure by 6pm

With my barbar closed I visited Shaver Shop and purchased clippers.

My hair is now 0.4mm long and the beard has gone. 🧔

This will allow me to wear a mask properly if required.😷

Sorry for scaring people but safety first.

I was lucky I got my haircut in an hour before the barber closed for good (well, hopefully not for good.... but for the next little while), I can usually eek out 2-2.5 months before I get really desperate for another haircut so hopefully by then things will have started to open up again. I have noticed though, a lot of my mates (and even Father Flashback) has gone for a #1 all over, bit shorter than usual :oops:

It's been a bit of a problem in UK&I too, people being dared to go and cough deliberately on old people and film it. Disgusting. Throw the book at them.

Rumour is that the 12 remaining passengers stuck on the Artania ship in Fremantle port did not fly back to Germany were too fat to fly. No details to help with this rumour.......

Even with a 4 seat 'economy couch' "bed"? ;)
 
Hopefully this will be of use to some of the SME business owners here.

The WA Government has announced a range of Payroll Tax measures to support businesses impacted by the coronavirus, including an important amendment to the previous “option to defer”:

  1. The Payroll Tax threshold will be increased to $1 million on 1 July 2020. This brings the increase forward from the previously planned date of 1 January 2021. The threshold increase will be reflected in Revenue Online when it comes into effect.
Payroll Tax will be “waived” from March to June for employers who have Australian taxable wages of less than $7.5 million at 30 June 2020. This waiver replaces the previously announced “option to defer” payment of payroll tax until July.
 
We use Zoom for global family catch ups with those who are tech literate but my 85 year old mum doesn't have any tech devices so we got her a Portal by Facebook which is voice activated so at least she can see and talk to the global family.
