Signs of the times

I went into the city today to see a financial advisor about my millions. In the Perth Underground Station, all the advertisements had been replaced by ones urging people to get vaccinated. This is one of many:

This is on a day when there are 239 new Covid cases in Sydney, a new daily record. At the moment, WA seems to be only threatened with crews on cargo ships who have come via Indonesia and find themselves sick in Australian waters.

My appointment was on the 15th floor of a high rise office tower. It felt more like New York than Perth:

The river, and Burswood, is somewhere beyond the two cranes. This ultra modern office tower has signs on every floor about registering with the COVIDSafe app, plus in the bathrooms are 10-stage instructions on how to wash your hands correctly.

There is a really nice coffee bar on the ground floor. I read the paper and stole the cooking section: these city types eat takeaways all the time, don’t they?
