Loved what Louise said, "Isolation, food and stock shortages and having the kids home all the time has reminded me that it is not only easy to pare life down to the basics but it can be fun. Interestingly our television has been on less than it was pre-lockdown and I have been reminded daily that I really enjoy hanging out with the kids".

Louise also felt that the kids got the same enjoyment and added, "If I can hang on to that for the last few years of their childhood, that is a Corona blessing".

I wonder how many others out there, and experiencing the changes this virus has brought us, can share similar sentiments, feelings, as Louise Roberts?

Is it a sign that the town is beginning to return to normality with some previously closed businesses beginning to re-open.

A few weeks ago the Chinese restaurant opened for takeaways, Kerrie's Garden has been opening weekends for a week or so, as of last weekend and intending to open Fridays and Saturdays, Home Finch has its doors open and the Old Post Office Gift Shop will be opened all week.

All a good sign things are returning to how we remember them.

The removal of restrictions is in many ways dependent on the community, not only here, but state and nationwide.

We are constantly reminded not to drop our guard, to keep our 1.5 metres, when visiting, two adults (plus children) and maintain our hygiene.

If the situation keeps improving, who knows, life may be not too far from complete normality.

Speaking of not dropping our guard, with the National Rugby League doing its best to get the competition up and running May 28, stating the players will be isolated observing protocols set down to cover the players in the COVID-19 crisis, one would expect the players to be toeing the line.

Could you believe three star players went up country, with friends, for a time away?

Could you believe another allowed a group of girls into his home rollicking and dancing?

Have they no respect for the predicament we are all in?

Their actions are bad enough, but how bright are they to have what they were doing posted on social media.

Two other NRL players also broke the rules and AFL stars in Perth were no better.

If the players want their respective competitions to resume, all players will have to do the right things or face the fact that it's all over red rover.

Then there's the case of a young tourist girl parading herself around a closed Queensland beach, flouting the laws in an arrogant manner stating, "I'm going to live my life as I please, I'll not be told when I can, or can't, go to the beach, I'll go when I want".

All very well, but her message and her vision posted over social media make wonderful evidence if the young woman faces charges.

Some football players, this young girl, or is it some of the younger generation... do they lack consideration or intelligence?

Isolation is still with us so are you looking for something to do?

How about colouring Boorowa?

Now here is your chance, or at least to colour the main street.

Former resident Sophie Corks has drawn some templates of the main streets of both Boorowa and Canowindra.

Original paintings of the two streets were auctioned and the funds went in support of the Wayside Chapel at King's Cross, Sydney.

Sophie has drawn up templates of our main street you can obtain by contacting Sophie on Facebook at https//www.facebook.com/SophieCorks/.

She can also be found on Instagram.

Sophie has also recently launched her website through which you can purchase her work.

This will date this joke, but Bob Hawke told it to Alan Bond and John Bertrand.

He must have loved it, so what do you think of his humour?

A Frenchman, an Englishman and an Aussie were hiking in the Andes on a stinking hot summer day.

On cresting a mountain they came upon a pristine lake so they rushed down the mountain side and plunged into the cool water.

A band of locals came and grabbed them and took them to their chief.

The chief says in broken English, "You have broken most sacred law, this is our most sacred site, for this you die. When we kill you, we take off skin, out of skin we make canoes. Put canoes on lake. Permanent reminder to all people, never to impinge on sacred site. Tie them up."

To the prisoners he says, "Before you die you have one last wish. What is your last wish?"

The Frenchman says "I want a knife, I don't want to die at your hands."

Handed the knife, the Frenchman screams, "Viva la France!" plunges the knife in and over he goes.

The Englishman also asks for a knife saying, "Like my friend from across the Channel, I don't want to die at your hands, God Save the Queen!"

He plunges the knife in and over he goes.

The locals come to the Aussie, he says, "I want a fork!"

On being given the fork, he stabs himself countless times all over his body and boldly says. "Well there goes your bloody canoe!"

A bit of brain stuff from Cambridge University:

Olny srmat poelpe can raed this, cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg.

When typing this out there were squiggly red lines under most of the words. If you read this, you're going better than the computer, it knew words were incorrect, but made no effort to correct them.

Perceiving meaning can present difficulties when reading.

Take as example the six year old kid who was looking at his mother's ID card:

SEX: F

The kid begins to laugh and his mother asks, "What's so funny?"

The kid replied, "I can't believe you're so bad at sex that you failed it".

The husband died laughing.

Boorowa is very fortunate to have the Community Bank and yearly we can look forward to the cash grants allowing local organisations and charities have their dreams come true.

Big or little, the bank gets behind us.

With no Boorowa News to be published in a print form, I was quite happy to prepare an extended copy of WITS and was prepared to accept the associated costs.

Being approached by the bank, I was told, "We'll be happy to undertake the printing for you".

Goes to show, when the Boorowa Community Bank sees a need, they're right there.
