BLESSED SPEEDY

Here we are on day 4 - however by the increasing case numbers, I wont be surprised if this lockdown goes on for longer than a week, sadly. My Mum is in an aged care facility just near me and due to covid (sensibly) the facility is locked down - so no visiting inside the facility. However you are able to talk to residents "through the glass" and I did that with mum today. We did the same many times last year during that lockdown and memories came flooding back of me feeling like the locked out one with staff etc inside cheerfully walking past and saying hi and me freezing sitting outside with a take away coffee talking to mum. The things you do - but I do know that mum likes to see my face and not just talk on the phone so it was good.  I also worked on a secret quilt project for a new to be born family member- no picks as its a surprise!

 Well here we are in lockdown again in Victoria - this time for 7 days (hopefully)  I thought this might be a good time to resurrect my blog and post on here what Im doing each day - mainly to keep myself accountable as I would like to use the time productively and not just let it slide. To be honest, as we are dairy farmers, life is mostly normal here on farm - except for no visitors and mask wearing when needed as we are deemed an essential service.  It's just when we go outside the farm gate that life is different. The lockdown conditions are - no leaving home unless for food and supplies, authorised work, medical care and caregiving, exercise within 5 kilometres of home and getting vaccinated.  No visitors allowed and no public gatherings. So what am I going to do? Im intending on doing something new to me each day as well as exercising and my usual daily tasks - and blog! So, first things first, washing on, house tidied and off for a walk - its a cool breezy day...
