Apart from that I will be settling in front of the TV for another hour or two watching movies and "The Capture".
Then I will force myself into 10minutes of gardening <groan> mostly weeding.
Afterwards I might try to find the model type of the carbi on my line trimmer to see if I can get a gasket set off eBay.
Tomorrow I receive the first part of the government stimulus package when $750 is paid into my bank account. Waste of money really - I can't go out and spend it! Even worse another $750 is due next month - madness!

Re: What's your Boredom level Today?
Ms d00d just entered my boudoir with two pieces of frozen salmon on a plate, after much deliberation we agreed we'd have salmon for supper tonight. One piece each or one to share? that wasn't so easy .....
I haven't told her yet but we're having cheese sauce with it, broccoli too.

I don't pay him though. He is actually still working, part time, for how long I don't know.

The theory was that pensioners and dole bludgers would go out and spend the money rather than save it. Unfortunately events have caught up with them and they cannot go out to spend and there is nothing to spend it one because all the clubs and pubs are shut.
There have been three stimulus packages within the last few weeks plus one from the Reserve Bank
12 March – government announces a $17.6bn stimulus package including $4.76bn for $750 payments to welfare recipients and $6.7bn for businesses for wage subsidies.
19 March – the Reserve Bank of Australia announces a $90bn three-year funding facility to help banks continue to lend to business, and the Morrison government contributes $15bn skewed to smaller banks and non-authorised deposit-taking institution lenders.
22 March – government announces a second major economic rescue package worth $66bn including a $550 coronavirus supplement to jobseeker payments (dole) and a second $750 payment to welfare recipients.
30 March – government announces $130bn in the third support package, including a $1,500 fortnightly jobkeeper payment for employers to pass on to employees to keep them in work, and extending eligibility for jobseeker payments.
