A very Happy Mothers Day to all Lismore App readers for this Sunday. It will be one of the strangest with the one family limitations on visiting another home so instead of one large family gathering some mums will be getting two or three visits on Sunday making it a busy day.
To be purely selfish for a moment, a Happy Mothers Day to my amazing wife who is a brilliant mother to our daughter and her three step-daughters. She has made our isolation home a harmonious place to live filled with love. Now to deliver the presents on Sunday!
If you have purchased Mothers Day gifts, I hope you shopped locally. If you are still to do the shopping (yes, you will see me out tomorrow morning with my daughter) then, again, SHOP LOCAL. Our businesses need our help as life gets slowly back to normal.
You will find some last minute gifts at the Lismore Farmers Markets and Blue Knob Community Markets tomorrow from 8am and 8:30am respectively. As well as the fresh fruit and vegetable produce on offer there is also seedlings for winter veggies, fire pits for the cold nights ahead or a lantern for the Virtual Lantern Parade coming up on Saturday June 20.
Weather wise, pretty perfect autumn days are ahead until Sunday late afternoon or evening so soak it up. Temperatures of 25 glorious degrees after minimums around 12.
A reminder that school is back to some sort of face to face teaching on Monday so be vigilant of the 40k school zones. This does vary from school to school as we wrote yesterday What does face to face teaching look like from Monday?.
As is usual for the Weekend Wrap, let's end with some coronavirus jokes.
