Column 1 – The National

A week to go
One can understand if Queensland Maroons fans are already feeling a pang of fear and defeat following the naming of a young agile NSW Blues team for SOO1.
Coach change
Some rugby league fans are calling on Marum to take over the PNG Hunters team from Church who may have some communication problems with the players. English is not our first language.
Spot fine
One of our neighbouring Melanesian nations plans to pass a law soon to impose on-the-spot fines on people who do not wear face masks. May work for us too. Easy source of government revenue.
Virtual meetings
Come to think of it, virtual conferences with overseas participants are so cheap and convenient. Save a lot of travelling expenses and per diems.
Free sunshine
One of the biggest sources of Vitamin D is the sunshine which is in abundance here and free. Great for the immune system. It’s called the “sunshine vitamin”.
Touching tribute
Dad told daughter not to tell her friends that he is a janitor because they will laugh at her. But she posted this photo on social media and wrote: “My dad is a janitor. He is my pride. I love you dad.”
Good luck
Good luck to the Grade 10 students tomorrow sitting for the Written Expression exam.
Thought for today
At the end of the day, what really matters is that your loves on are safe and well, you have done your best and you are thankful for all that you have.
