Hello, Hello, Hello ?
Hope this finds you well, friends. As for me, health wise, we are all good, purse wise? Meh! Gas is $2 per liter now. My poor purse! ? We are oil producer but the politicians could always find an excuse, a way, to make our life “better”, it seems ???? I do not like filling up my car now. I feel so poor, but cannot really reach to destinations on foot, esp. in Winter ?
It’s scary to think that pandemic is slowly leaving us, yet economy crashing even more will follow – somehow. I so hope not ????
My youngest always said he’d like to live either in Singapore or Australia, but actually, Canadian dollar has always been lower compared to their dollars, and with current situation, conspiracy theorists are going rampant, Canadian dollar will be valued at nothing. Yikes!
