I’m joining Cancer Council's Sunrise Walk to support my local community in hope that the sun will rise on a day where cancer no longer exists. Please sponsor me today to help me make a difference for people impacted by cancer.

Just received another scam letter urging me to renew my business name at a discount price. I received 2 other scam letters earlier in the week - one from the same group, the other from an entity called Online Business Registration Pty Ltd. All the letters have been deliberately designed to look like an invoice from ASIC, the real, official government organisation for business name renewals.

BE CAREFUL, BE VIGILANT, EVERYONE. READ EVERYTHING TWICE!

Thank you to all my clients who wished me “Happy Holidays”. We had a good time, travelling the Great Ocean Road, the Llimestone Coast and Fleurieu Peninsula to Kangaroo Island and back home following the Murray River.
Here are a few pix from the trip.
We had an unpleasant surprise on our return home and it is a lesson hard learnt.
Kim ordered 5 boxes of wine before we left and instructed the supplier not to deliver until March when we would be back home.
The supplier disregarded this instruction and sent the wine out mid February. We were in Rendelsham on SA’s Shipwreck Coast visiting family at the time. Aust Post advised delivery between 22 and 24 February. We adjusted our itinerary and arrived home 24 February.
Next message from Aust Post was that the wine had been delivered on 18 February, earlier than advised and while we were on Kangaroo Island. Pre-Covid, Aust Post would not have been able to leave the 5 boxes of wine on our front porch without getting a signature. But Covid changed everything. People shopped online more; courier vans were working 24/7 to keep up with demand and “contactless delivery” and “no-signature delivery” became the norm.
Aust Post left the 5 boxes of wine on our front porch, in full view from the street. This is what they considered “a safe place”.
Only 1 box of wine was on our front porch when we arrived home. Someone had stolen 4 boxes of wine, unnoticed by neighbours and friends who were keeping an eye on the house while we were away.
So, Kim has reported the theft to the police AND here comes the lesson hard learnt…Kim has instructed Aust Post NOT TO DELIVER any parcels or goods if no-one is home. Instead Aust Post is to take the parcels to the local post office for collection by one of us.
We hear news reports of looters raiding homes abandoned by owners escaping the floods in Northern NSW. There are some disrespecting low-lifes around, seeking opportunity to take what is not theirs just because it is there; or, there are career criminals taking advantage of changes to our normal way of life caused by exceptional circumstances such as Covid, floods, war.
Be warned, there may be people who are deliberately following the many couriers on their delivery rounds seeking opportunities to collect goods left on doorsteps or front porches before the householder returns home. Take care.

Well...Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter have been lucky so far. So close to the Covid lockdown areas of Greater Sydney and Central Coast and free to go about our lives without restrictions. Now we are in a snap lockdown and I wanted to share my thoughts. I saw a sign on my daily walk this morning. It was on a church noticeboard and read, "Get rich quickly. Count your blessings"
I feel blessed even in the situation we now find ourselves...I have family and friends I love and who love me.
I have a wife I adore and who adores me.
I have a job that allows me to follow my passion...to heal people of their aches and pains, to make them feel whole, to free them from pain.
And I am allowed to continue to follow my passion and treat people who are in pain, whose bodies are out of sorts even during this pandemic and the current snap lockdown in the Greater Hunter.
What blessings can you count?

I heard news today that the government is starting to relax restrictions on level 2 elective surgery. This is good news for those in our community who are suffering the pain and anguish of chronic illness and disease. We need to take the slow road back to normal. I want to share a poster that was published in Lake Mac council's community newsletter recently. Please stay safe, wash your hands and remember to stay calm

Bluey's got you COVID!
NSW government restrictions on my right to practice remedial and therapeutic massage have been relaxed. I still have to apply social distancing and infection control procedures, and impose individual client screening. The doors are now open. I'm back at work.😃

Both Newcastle & Merewether Ocean Baths are iconic monuments of the greater Newcastle area. They are testaments to the enduring spirit of the people of the Newcastle region. We cannot lose them to private operators.
