50 klm's doesn't even get me to the nearest large city, Newcastle. 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!

Good luck! 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.

Great hospital been in there a few times, if I need back surgery it is where my bloke prefers. I think last visit was my cataract, they all blur after a while

Thanks for your kind thoughts. I am hoping that when I can drive that some of the more draconian measures have been eased.

Good luck with the hip.

Wife and I have been there a few times. Wife had back surgery by Dr Spitaler IIRC. Excellent result.

Thanks everybody for your kind wishes. I'm ready to go with my bag packed. See you all when I get home.

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?

Sport community sport so I can play and exercise properly (for me) again.

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.

Soccer.

All community sport being restarted would be good.

I think a lot of us are fatter.  I've been doing a lot of cooking.

What I’m looking forward to is seeing family, and I know my new grandaughter wants a sleep over. Nearly as much as I do.
