Children who have experienced trauma and children who have FASD both have many characteristics of Autism

I haven't heard this but I think pretty much all Australians would be behind this. If we seal ourselves off we may be able to get it under control soon

hugs and best wishes

so sad to hear about his accident Huge Hugs

Many countries are working on a vaccine, not just USA. I know that here in Australia there have been animal trials since end of January, and human trials are predicted to be ready later in the year.

Not much. Food prices sky-rocketed, all cheep options were cleared off the shelves. We bought some extra. Twins activities that are cancelled were funded so not paid for by us. Dd home from uni so extra food We never eat out

We have invasive kikuyu grass. Nothing stops it no weed mat or anything like that. What I do is spray the ground with weed killer, then cover with either several layers of newspaper, overlapped well or cardboard, then cover with a very thick layer of compost. Then plant in the compost. After that I only need to do weed control around the perimeter. if you don’t have kikuyu then just cardboard then compost works beautifully. There is a YouTube market gardener I watch from England, Charles Dowding, he promotes the no dig gardening method and has some very instructive videos on gardening with this method. i garden fully with the no dig method

hugs to the both of you

these are relatives still alive Gewneth Hansjoerg Jutta if I had ever had another girl I was going to call her Joyce

Ds16 the busnss he worked for had to close, all workers are layed off. The TAFE is closed atm and looksike it will move to online. He is really down about it Dd20, unmoved to online so she came home. Her 1 day week job is cancelled she was looking after a medically fragile child once a week Ds 22 is an essential worker Ds23 I'll have his contract end end May. Ds 26 work is considered vital to the country he is still working. In his spare time he is 3D printing face shield and ventilater parts All the professionals and respite workers for the twins are suspended for the moment

very similar here. Where I live most of the river flat farmland is dairy. every day massive tankers come and collect the milk from the farms. depending on who the farmer has a contract with is what the milk turns into. Some have contracts with Bega Cheese - it all gets turned into cheese, others have other contracts and it gets turned into milk and milk products , like cream, butter, powered milk, baby formula, ice cream, UHT milk etc

Bother, twin 2 just put 2 rips in the side of the greenhouse. Next windstorm the whole side will rip. Grrrrrrr Not happy, not happy at all.

We bought 30 1litre boxes of uht milk. 3 packets of powdered milk, some cheese, yoghurt and some butter. Nobody here is drinking milk atm, we are saving it for breakfast and a dash on hot chocolate Our house cow will have its calf mid July. We will then have heaps of fresh milk We collected our supplies slowly over a 4 week period. Buying a little extra every shopping trip, as advised by the government. No panic buying or hoarding rather keeping to the guidelines of an extra packet of everything each shopping trip. We are very fortunate we live in a climate where veggies can be grown outside in winter.

We got the veggie garden fully netted and it is just about fully planted. DH cleaned the neighbour's roof in exchange for a full tank full of water so we also planted up the greenhouse tunnel. We plan on seeing how long we can go without having to go to a shop. We are aiming for 3 months. We have to see how we go...

Yes, au $

Nice to see you again

I know what Jigsaws are good for. I was just a bit shocked when our PM announced that you should only leave the house for essential shopping only , then gave the example of buying jigsaws- something that can be bought online

well I am still stuck on the PM saying buying jigsaws is an essential shopping trip

the eggs would have been fine. I never refrigerate my eggs they last 4 weeks form freshly layed no problems at room temperature. the shops here don't even have the eggs in the fridge section grated cheese goes fine being frozen. I keep mine in the freezer and just use straight form there into the coking.

Hugs

My oldest has been doing this here in Australia for a group of hospitals. They don't need the yet, but are getting ready

Yes we would eat it i just made a fruit cake with dried fruit that went out of date 4 years ago.

Butter is basically the fat of the milk, so you need cream to make butter

Something like 80 % of the affected people in Australia got it while in USA and brought it to Australia. USA were refusing to test/or in denial they had a problem/or (conspiracy theory going around.. trying to undermine the world economy) Aus were too stupid to close all travel from USA Should we start calling it the American flue? How would USA citizens feel about that?

What lovely news So nice to hear from you Hugs
