We go into this weekend with our first real cold snap following the arrival of the southerly front last night. The doonas are on the bed and it's jumpers to start your day each morning with minimum temperatures hitting 7 or 8 degrees. The good news, we have blue sky and plenty of sun over the two days and into next week.

It is also day two of being able to visit another household with your family, so take the opportunity to say g'day to friends you haven't spent a lot of time with over the weekend. As always, be responsible and practice social distancing in those circumstances as well

The annual Nimbin MardiGrass event has gone online and is now the Virtual MardiGrass, this kicked off today. The annual cannabis law reform protest has had to adjust to the coronavirus restrictions and still get their message across plus have some fun. The Pot Poetry, Pot Art, HEMP Fashion Parade, Weed Laughs and Music Awards can be viewed online here https://virtualmardigrass.com/.

There are social distancing and cleanliness rules in place at the Lismore Farmers Markets and the Blue Knob Community Markets tomorrow morning and as always, there is loads of fresh farm produce to buy as well as seedlings if you are into growing your own fruit and vegetables. Coffee is being sold too to ward off the cold start. Lismore is on from 8am and Blue Knob from 8:30am.

I was hoping to give you some good news about petrol prices being under $1 a litre somewhere in town but as I write 101.9 is still the cheapest at United on Ballina Road with Nimbin sitting at 118.9. Maybe next week?

To finish the Weekend Wrap, here are some more Corona Jokes. Sometimes we just need a laugh. Have a great weekend.
