Observations of the week

I took today (Wednesday) off work so I could support my youngest daughter.
They have now started a campaign of peer pressure for school aged children to get vaccinated and the ‘vaccination bus’ was visiting her school that day.
They don’t need the parents permission to vaccinate the kids. They just need the child’s ‘permission’. When you factor in the ‘incentives’, like a $100 vouchers for a supermarket, it’s a dubious operation.

Our reasoning for our children been unvaxxed is really simple.

We left it up to them to decide. (they are 14 & 16yrs old)
They did their own research, and as their parents we support whatever decision they have made.

In the end we decided it was just easier to keep our child away from school & avoid all the hassles.

So that meant I had a spare day at home. I normally go for a good bike ride, but it was pissing down with rain this morning, so me and daughter went and picked up our new kayak instead.

The weather cleared in the afternoon, so I went for that bike ride to my favorite cafe.
There was a lot more life to the place, than last time. People were sitting down around tables & talking casually without masks on. It was like normality had returned, even if only briefly.
There were only desserts still available at this time, but I was so hungry, I just gulped it down and almost forgot to take a photo..

The ride back home was faster than normal. I think I just needed to work off that dessert!
