This weekend is the first in a long time that we can get out of the house and have a breakfast in a cafe or restaurant.

The Lismore App has been asking you to support local businesses through our Takeaway/Delivery button since the restrictions began and we encourage you to continue to do this by either physically visiting your favourite place or through this button (Takeaway/Home Delivery).

With two more confirmed cases of coronavirus yesterday in our health district, one of those in Ballina, we do need to keep practicing social distancing and hand washing. While we long for normality taking a step backwards is going to be more frustrating for everyone.

The Lismore Markets is on from 8am tomorrow with the return of Live Music for the first time in seven weeks, more signs of normality. Breakfast is still a no go but you can grab a coffee or tea.

As well as the fresh farm produce you can buy seedlings to grow your own vegies for winter as well as buy a lantern from Jyllie Jackson and her team for the 'Virtual Lantern Parade' in June.

Blue Knob have their community markets from 8:30am tomorrow with the only difference being the cafe is doing takeaway drinks as well as meals.

The last time I talked about petrol, one station had prices at 101.9 and I wrote about the possibility of buying a litre of unleaded for under $1. Alas, that was a dream wasn't it, cheapest in Lismore is now 109.9 and still at the United petrol station on Ballina Road. Most others are about the 114.9 mark. While disappointing that we never had our period below the dollar mark it is worth noting that other stations in the Northern Rivers are around the 102.9 mark in Casino and even Newrybar is now 105.9.

On to some jokes to have a laugh to start the weekend. They are getting harder to find so if you see something people will get a laugh at please send them through (simon@lismoreapp.com.au).

Have a great weekend.
