One more case discovered in quarantined folks coming in from overseas. There's still no community transmission, but... it only takes one arsehole to shit all over everything for everyone.

I've fed my starters and they're a bit on the thick side, so I added cream and coconut milk to the harvests and got some extremely runny batter cooking slowly in the background.

Very slowly, as it happens. Whoopsidoodle. Too much additional liquid.

The cats are not eating all their food, even the stuff they normally like, so it's a matter of debate as to what to do about that. I mean, we already feed these fuzzy little murder machines the best stuff... Temptation is strong to acquire the shitty stuff and let them know they've got it good, but... nah.

In the Headlines:

• A secret transcript has erupted involving the affair down in NSW
• Aussie soapie star opts out of Covid testing because she's "naturally healthy" 9_9 Here comes the new outbreak...
• Muppet continues accusing the left of insidious deeds, Obama has his say about it all on a podcast
• Twitter locks the Muppet's campaign account for attack tweets

I shall be unmessing my house, writing an Instant, and playing Factorio, most likely. I may be taking an unscheduled nap because this morning has been visted by a Cyclone Headache(tm) and if painkillers don't work, sleep does.

I need to go take my meds.

Another one from Overseas, boo. Queensland has been 28 days without community transition and that should mean that we can walk around without masks, but... Whilst we still get incoming from OS, it only takes one dickhead to ruin it for everyone.

As more "travel bubbles" open up between the countries/areas with some firkin SENSE, the pressure rises on the willfully ignorant to gain a modicum of such.

In the headlines:

• QLD's border policy pisses off plague vectors, but sells well

This time the import case is from Western Australia. Sigh. It keeps on keeping on, but I think the person from WA was unaware they had the plague. Unlike too many Karens going around performing potentially lethal shenanigans.

Speaking of potentially lethal:

• After attempting trade war and threatening battle, war, and sudden death, China has realised that Australia has something they want to prevent economic collapse - it's iron. Hail to Pig Iron Bob: The Second Lot
• Recordings have emerged that reveal

Two new cases. One from overseas and the other a contact of a previous case. All in quarantine and secure.

Today is unfuckening nonsense, Instant Story, and maybe getting to one hundred words in my novel. If I feel like it. My writing has been a little in a Meh mood and school holidays don't help that along much.

It looks like the Long Haulers are in for a very long haul as some lingering symptoms look like they're going to be

Two new cases linked to previous ones and already in quarantine. Nine days -thereabouts- until the Brisbane protests blow up on us. It'll be battening down the hatches for sure when and if that happens.

Sigh.

• China escalates their war footing with India
• Some dudebro used the Covid-19 app to text a girl. The only way this could have been worse was if he opened with a dick pic
• Quarantine clusterfucks continue as one family is living in an airport in some
