Members Handstitched Posted July 10, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 10, 2020 @dikman Its a horrible thing to say, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the ACT and perhaps NSW go into lockdown .....again, but if people do the right thing, there shouldn't be too many concerns. But WA, (and no doubt SA ) , is watching the east very closely atm. My leather work load is almost getting back to 'normal'. Got a market tomorrow (11/7) so if I think of it, I'll take a pic or two and post it. Stay safe y'all HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called? Incontinentia.......Incontinentia Buttocks '
Members Handstitched Posted July 28, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 28, 2020 Not sure where to put this to be honest, but as its in context to the thread, I'll put it here. Post lockdown: economic recovery...and my whinge. Here in Western Australia we're doing quite well , compared to other states in the east . Victoria are in deep s...t atm . NSW , ACT. and maybe Queensland are a little nervous right now. And I am grateful that I am now just as busy now as I was before the ' proverbial hit the fan . I've have orders coming in , custom belts, cases etc and a custom guitar strap,and some mods to 54 mtrs of garden netting ( not leather, obviously ) The pollies ( here in Oz) talk about the economic recovery, getting people back into jobs, stimulus packages post covid etc. Thats fine, no issue, we really need it . But what frustrates me is that all the ' traditional' trades, like what a lot of us do for a living don't get a single mention, here in Oz anyway. Surely theres a place for ol' leather workers like myself in the big wide world of commerce? *sigh* I guess I'll just be confined to a ' niche market' and ' quaint little markets ' @dikman I had every intention of taking a pic of my stall here in my town as you suggested, as I bought a new wiz bang deluxe gazebo, on special, woo hoo !! I even took my camera with me .....but I forgot to take a pic. I remembered after I packed it up?......bugger !! Next time Stay safe HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called? Incontinentia.......Incontinentia Buttocks '

Long time no post on this thread. Just briefly on covid, , we , here in Western Australia, have opened up to the rest of the Australia..in Nov. . with conditions. Our Covid numbers are really low compared to the rest of the world, thats why we can freely go anywhere we like, almost . We're the ' envy of the rest of the world' , apparently For me , business has been quite brisk, and EFT has increased quite a bit. Anyway, you're right, I've been meaning to do just that, take a pic of my stall. I keep forgetting to take my camera every time I do a stall, but today, I took my camera....but I forgot to take a f*** pic !! DOH !!! I didn't remember until after I packed up.... aarrgh!! Head like a sieve !! I promise you , I will take a pic , one day Stay safe HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?
