Hi everyone am back in Warrnambool working in the shed here now like many of you other ferals. The second waste skip is half full of the last 30 years of collectables. The board is planning to meet via Zoom some time this week. We have some decisions to make re how we facilitate our board changeover*, plus our usual directors reports. Will keep members up to date via the spoke. Please stay safe, Tickler.
Cheers
Tim Goodall
Boré’s view.
When Boré worked full time at the hospital he used to draw us a cartoon every week. We would often receive the cartoon between our Wednesday lunchtime meeting and Boré knocking off work at 5.00pm the same day. After Boré retired the cartoons dried up because, as Boré explained, he ‘no longer has the time’. This week Boré has once again very kindly drawn us a cartoon. Is this Boré’s version of working from home?
Some people enjoy social isolation. For introverts, it is their best life. Clearly, it is going to be a struggle for Bob McMillan. He feels a bit lonely if there are only fifty people to talk to in the Warrnie. This week Boré has been out and about seeing how Bob is coping with the shutdown.
We thank Boré for another great cartoon.
Adapting to new technology.
There are some positives to come out of our current situation. One is that some older people are being forced to learn and use new technology to stay in touch with people. Pip is not across social media yet, but he has nearly worked out the TV remote.
Potholes doesn't understand.
Macca recently read this cartoon in the paper, but couldn't quite work it out.
Working from home.
OH&S expert Pip Ritchie is advising that everyone who can should work from home. Even Pip's dog has employed modern technology and is staying safe.
Ten years ago this week.
One of the great deprivations of this time is that we must live without sport. It is interesting then to look back at the Central Spoke from ten years ago and see what sport was occupying out attention back then. At the time Bruce Keeley was bringing us the all the latest vision from the world submarine racing championships.
Pip understands his dog.
Pip and his dog have been enjoying simple pleasures during the lockdown.
