Knocked back #work today because I just physically needed the day off and some quiet. So of course F-bomb Freddy's going off again. Only 2pm and already shouting foul-mouthed abuse at people, to an incongruous soundtrack of laid-back 70s adult contemporary folk-rock. Roll on, post #Covid-19 real estate bust; need some cheap, obnoxious-bogan-free lodgings. #Aloha #Sawtell

Social distancing is apparently over, by grassroots decree. There are so many punters pouring in at #work that I can barely take three steps without being asked for directions. It's positively claustrophobic. One lady apologised for being unfamiliar with the store layout because she ordinarily shops in town, but was driven out to the suburbs by the crush of shoppers there. No more exasperated conversations about toilet paper; we're suddenly back on to queries about exotic ingredients from bemused middle class recreational shoppers uncertainly stalking their prey like partially anaesthetised leopards. #covid-19

Seems like there's a grassroots consensus that #covid-19 lockdown is over. Wasn't quite a pre-crisis Saturday at #work today, but a lot of people with little concern over 1.5m spacing, and not a mask or glove to be seen.

F-bomb Freddy has been in fine form today. Effing up a storm since dawn, then took a defiant swim in the #covid19 closed communal pool. Now it looks like he's seen off yet another visiting former cellmate with the traditional "You 'eard me! Fark orf out of 'ere!" farewell. Ah, the #Sawtell lifestyle! #Aloha

#RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor. This hurts. To any Australian of my age 6pm was endless weekday repeats of the Goodies followed by #DrWho at 6:30. Weekend evenings were a disappointment. Damn it, #Covid-19, now it's personal. Bless him. Not many of us get to make a career out of satirising oneself. At least, not intentionally. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/35122

A colleague who has an expensive house in an expensive neighborhood has found themselves suddenly single and stuck with a giant mortgage. I suspect their situation is not going to improve. I wonder how many others are in the same boat #economy #covid19

I'm having no trouble keeping a #covid19 safe distance from others. If you try to pass someone on the footpath they yelp with panic and leap into the path of oncoming vehicular traffic.

Preparing for this at work yesterday - probably too late already, https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/34835 This is very close to home. #covid19

@tregeagle I'm beginning to think that when every organisation with your phone number, from your superannuation fund to your cat's vet, misuses SMS to send you daily updates on their #covid19 preparedness, foul-mouthed abuse is an entirely appropriate response. No context or explanation: Not "F**k off, I was sleeping", or "F**k off, I was expecting something important", or "F**k off, that is what email is for". Just "F**k off, you f***ing c***s!" #DerekandClive

@mjd
I think heading out to Kakadu was quite well timed. Perhaps I should stay away from civilisation for a bit longer... An outback town maybe? Somewhere like The Yabba? #covid19

Another long day at #work, which is starting to resemble a Soviet supermarket. We wear ill-fitting red shirts and have many fine consumer goods, just not today the ones you need. Panic buying has snowballed from idiot #covid-19 doomsday preppers to people panicked by the idiots, to people panicked by the people panicked by… And so on, but for how long? https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/34631
