This weekend is really the lull before the storm with the easing of restrictions coming our way this Monday June 1.
In brief, cafes, restaurants and pubs can serve up to 50 people from Monday and now we have heard today that weddings will increase to 20 people, funerals to 50 and places of worship can have 50 people but all with the four square metre rule. Add the fact that we can holiday in NSW and the Queen's birthday long weekend is looking positive.
Back to our immediate reality.
A reminder that recreational boating and fishing is now allowed for a family.
There is some rain coming our way but as usual it won't be much according to the BOM, maybe 1-3mm's tomorrow morning then clearing to be fairly good weekend in the early 20's.
Petrol Spy has the cheapest petrol at the usual place, United Petroleum on Ballina Road (corner of Keen Street). You will be paying 109.9 for E10 unleaded with everyone else at 114.9 or 115.9. If you are going driving you can still find petrol cheaper than Lismore with Casino at 102.7 and Broadwater a 104.9.
Food is back at the Lismore Farmers Market tomorrow from 8am! Kristy and Scott from the Mayfield Market Kitchen food van will be back in action after a long lay-off serving up some breakfasts, I can recommend the omelette.
Blue Knob open their gates from 8:30am.
Games and Puzzle lovers should check out the Lismore App's button at the very bottom of the app. This week we have added Black Jack, Checkers, Hearts and for the real card enthusiasts.
Neil Marks' Blog tomorrow morning will look at the loss of the Northern Star and the Lismore Eco newspapers.
While the Sunday Profile will take you on a spiritual journey with Lyn Morris, a local tarot reader. Lyn founded Inner Sanctvm centre on Magellan Street 30 years ago and makes for an interesting Sunday morning read with a coffee or tea.
As always now with the Weekend Wrap, something to lighten your week.
