SIGNS - Signs of the times 2

Seen in my local shopping centre when I went to the supermarket last week.
Besides the usual adverts that scroll through, there were a lot of adverts and advice related to the pandemic we are living through.

Some of the signs were just plain good advice for those who panicked and stock-piled a whole lot of articles from the supermarkets, fearing a months long lockdown.

Supermarkets have now introduced limits on certain items like milk, rice, flour, pasta, toilet paper, kitchen paper, paper serviettes,  hand sanitiser,  baby wipes, antibacterial wipes, tissues...
Depending on the time of day, I've also seen the meat section a bit bare, as well as the shelves of canned foods, and recently when looking for flour to make the sourdough bread I bake weekly I only managed to get a 500gr packet of it!  I hope everybody is baking lots of cakes and bread.

Now even the milk has been cut to 2 packets/bottle per person. And if you want to buy a cup of cream, you will have to leave 1 milk out. Crazy, as I think no one would drink cream, but who knows? The only milk still plentiful is the soy, almond or coconut long-life milk.
Luckily fresh fruit and vegetables are still plentiful, so we won't go hungry.

Monday Mural - Rock on

These photos were taken in 2017, probably during a visit to a friend who lives in the suburb of Mount Lawley, where these murals are located.

Both murals are on the walls of "Rock Inn" also known as "The Acoustic Inn", in Beaufort Street, and were painted in December 2016 by Bolivian artist Pablitosomething.

In these tough and insane times for all of us



I'm trying to keep cheerful,



to take it easy,



to feel gratitude for our health, our home and garden, and the technology that enables us to keep in contact with family near and far...

and dream 

of the good times 

that will surely come back soon.

Keep safe 💓.

Monday Murals - Electrical boxes V

I've realized that I have a dozen or so draft posts with murals, so I'll be posting older ones once in a while.

A couple more of Porto's electrical boxes on Rua das Flores (Flowers street), a pedestrian street near Sao Bento train station, taken during our 2017 visit to Portugal.

Monday Mural - Roses and skulls

On one of my visits to Sydney last year, a took a bus to Bondi Beach. On the way there I alighted from the bus to take photos of this mural on the corner of Bondi Road and Boonara Avenue. Painted by Brisbaine born artist Steen Jones, who was originally a tattoo artist.
