Just an informal chat section.

Marching Bands do arms length setup, and so should we, that's our minimum 4qm

Well, looks like our group gatherings of any type are forbidden now. Possibly for the best for our physical health, not too sure how it will affect our mental health. :cry:
I have noticed a huge downturn in trading in our tourist town of Echuca. Almost empty streets, cafe's open with no patrons, pubs and clubs that depend on tourist trade are closed. A lot less traffic, and this is only the start. Sad times ahead. :|

Yes I'm on the verge of announcing cancellation of Adelaide Branch rides, after watching the PM last night.
Fortunately I'm happy spending hours on the computer or reading books, and have 'rediscovered' electronics with some nifty Arduino WiFi boards.
But I think I'll have to fire up the bike for an occasional spin to keep my sanity.
The joke is, we bought a small caravan to go to WA in August & September. Now it sits idle in the driveway.
Hopefully all our marriages will survive this new period of at-home togetherness. :?

What do you mean "at home togetherness"? We are under instructions to maintain isolation and social distancing. :lol:

Our bed isn't quite wide enough to get 1.5M separation, Dean.

What about the van Ken. Just swap occasionally.

I just last week managed a week away in my van but on my own with my dogs. Apart from the occasional ride I consider I'm probably in self imposed isolation at home. ;)

That probably sums up most of us, Spook.
Welcome aboard.

Thanks Ken. A bummer having the SABC gatherings cancelled. I know it will return but they are good days.
