So glad yesterday's Lockdown Haircut made you smile.
For the first time in months I have been to the cinema with friends today. We had to sit spaced out, give our phone numbers and names to the staff, sanitize our hands etc. but it was still lovely. I have no idea how long the new relaxed rules will last, but it was nice to have some sort of normality today. The border between New South Wales and Victoria is closed now as Victoria has had 154 new cases of Covid 19 in the last 24 hours. Hopefully here in New South Wales new Covid 19 cases are kept to a minimum. We have only had 7 new cases apparently from recently returned overseas visitors, all in quarantine.
I can’t imagine what it would be like to sit spaced out at the movies. I think I heard on the news that a little cluster of Covid has broken out on the south coast of NSW plus I heard that a few planes loads from Melbourne landed in Sydney earlier in the week and there was no testing of passengers, I hope I heard wrong
Lovely shot. I heard about the new lockdown in Australia. I hope it doesn't spread. We've been having 0 cases for a good number of days but warned to be still vigilant.
Interesting image Babs they look edible did you risk it, I would prefer the restrictions stayed and lasted until no one tests positive for COVID-19 best to be safe sorry:)
@kjarn yes 48 people on a Jetstar flight from Melbourne managed to get through without being checked. All have been traced I think but 3 are refusing to be tested. Heard about the cases on the south coast too. I can't help feeling we will go backwards again. At least I had one good day today
@pcoulson No I didn't risk it. The only mushrooms I eat are the ones from the supermarket.
I would prefer restrictions stayed and lasted until no one tests positive too. We only had positive cases in NSW from returned travellers for a couple of weeks, hence the easing. Now though Victoria has had lots of community transmitted cases because the security guards in the quarantine hotels got a bit too friendly with the people who were in quarantine and then took Covid back to their families. The rest of the country only had police or armed forces personnel on duty in the hotels. I guess Victoria got what it paid for. The sad thing is the rest of the country will be paying for it again now.
Lovely white mushrooms standing out against the foliage. Sorry to hear of your troubles there with Covid 19 spiking again. It's such a worry isnt it?
Your trip to the cinema sounds lovely and nice that you had this day out.
A nice shot and a very suitable title. I hope you manage to avoid a new lockdown. We are having very few new cases in York at the moment, but I do wonder what will happen when tourists from around the world start visiting again.
Wonderful capture and great storytelling with the fungi! Your numbers, while increasing, are so low compared to ours. On the news, in some states (Florida, Texas, Arizona) the whole situation is described as 'out of control.' I'm glad you could have a normal day and how with all the efforts, you are able to stay on track for opening without a spike.

Cute shot of the mushrooms.

Nice shot!

So lovely you had day at the cinema
Great mushroom shot.
Fantastic title and photo! Love how the mushroom looks like it’s whispering to the other!
It was lovely to be able to visit the cinema again. Don't know how long the freedom will last though. NSW has had 11 new cases. 9 in hotel quarantine and they are returned overseas visitors and two are related to the Albury incident on the NSW and Victoria border. All of them are a long way from where we are and I hope it stays that way.
@fishers I too worry what will happen once tourists start arriving again.
