Day 32 (Sunday April 26)

Another lovely Autumn day today. We had a busy day in the backyard today, Geoff splitting logs and cutting down a couple of dead trees. My job was to wheelbarrow the logs that have been drying out against the back fence and stack them in the woodshed next to the garage. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling too flash today, some sort of lockdown lurgy that made me feel quite lightheaded, tired and dizzy. I'm proud to say I soldiered on, taking breaks as necessary and got the wood stacked.

Nine new cases today, a bit higher than I had hoped but still in single figures.

What I am thankful for today: Sunny days which even when I'm feeling a bit under the weather can cheer me up.

Day 2 (Friday 27 March)

My first thought today was wondering how long it will be before we stop referring to the days as Monday, Tuesday etc, but as Day 13, Day 14 etc. It's not easy to know what day it is when there's no differentiation between the week and weekdays. I went for my morning walk today as usual. While I was walking along George Street a little girl called out hello from an upstairs window and a lady who was chatting to her neighbor from her balcony also waved and called out Good Morning. While Geoff and I were sitting on the front porch having lunch a mother and her little daughter walked past, stopped and waved to us, then the Mum said, "Oh look they have a teddy in the window."  Makes me realise that in our very busy lives we don't connect with people in this way. Out total has risen to 368, an increase of 85 from yesterday. For the first time we have someone in intensive care. We have been having problems with our computer screen starting up so we decided to test ...

Day 14 (Wednesday 8 April)

This might be the shortest blog entry yet. I went for my usual morning walk, but Geoff had to do a mercy dash to pick me up to prevent a crisis occurring. I won't go into detail here, I will leave that to your imagination. So after a cup of tea I ventured out again, this time to the monastery, one of my favourite local walks. I haven't achieved anything on my non existent to do list, so no pretend crossing off to do. Geoff has been installing the new toilet and my job has been to try to help him identify why there was a leak. I'm pleased to say the problem has been identified (not by me) and we are back to a two toilet household. Our total number of cases is now 1210, only 50 new cases overnight. However I don't think schools will be going back in 2 weeks. The government announced today a $88 million dollar package to support distance learning. I hardly think this amount of money would be spent to support distance learning for only 2 weeks. What I am thankful for ...
