Local drives to Stockton Bight or Lemon Tree Passage would be OK. It won't be a problem for the next few weeks as I have my hip replacement operation tomorrow, so no driving until I get my Dr's permission. Good luck for the op. Where are you getting done? JHH?

I hope your hip replacement operation goes well tomorrow and it won't be too long before you can go driving again. Walking first of course!

I hope all goes well with your surgery and recovery. My husband was allowed to drive 6 weeks after his hip replacement in early February which was when restrictions started. The furtherest he has driven is to the next suburb. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh Thanks for your kind thoughts. I am hoping that when I can drive that some of the more draconian measures have been eased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MMDown Under Posted April 29, 2020 Author #817 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Watching Stephen Sondheim's 90th birthday celebrations on TV, I realise how much I'm missing live theatre. Live theatre will be top of my list, when theatres are open again. Any live theatre in Sydney or Melbourne or in London or Manhattan, all the better. What will be top of your list?

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted April 29, 2020 #820 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I want cafes and restaurants open again. Takeaway is OK but not as good as eating at a cafe/restaurant. Even though we make really good coffee at home I miss stopping for coffee at our favourite cafe when grocery shopping. It's such a pleasant place to sit and relax for a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
