G'day from lockdown...​

G'day everyone. I'm a 77 y o bloke, married 50 years next month. We live in Melbourne and are still in lockdown.
I enjoy riding my bike with a group of oldies. Can't do that at the moment.
Lead a fairly active social life with the same group. Can't do that either at the moment.
I enjoy doing the daily puzzles with Seniors Online Victoria.
And I love movies. Have quite a collection of DVDs.
Enough about me. I will enjoy reading about others and their pursuits.

Welcome @Placid and congrats on the 50 years of marriage - that's bloody impressive. It's a shame the big day might come during lockdown though

Have you got anything special planned?

Pick the right one the first time...
I'd be lost without my dear Lorraine, she's my carer as well. I've had multiple spinal surgeries and live in constant pain. She gives me my injections when I need one. As well as all the other things she does for me.

Hi again Ron, just saw you mention your spine pain, I have bone degeneration & Scoliosis. I've had injections into spine about 4 times, nerve root sleeve, they work for a few months in that they ease the pain somewhat but nothing rids me of it completely. My bones are pretty well shot. But I try to keep as active as possible whilst able. My sister is the same. We both got this from our Dad. Anyway just to say I know how you must feel, even if partially. Not fun but have to keep smiling & positive. All the best.

Can't plan anything this early, Jonathan. It's 3 weeks away. Bloody lockdown.

Maybe just a picnic with the two of you as a backup plan? Though depending on where you are, you might have to wear masks in between wine sips
