The Covid Bubble - SW

Well anyone who knows us would easily imagine the momentary fear that was struck into our collective hearts when we were told 

1) stop hugging and kissing and touching each other,
2) stop going out (in crowds first, and then for anything 'non-essential' - which of course we would define differently from the authorities!), and 
3) stop having hoards of people over...and then - you can only have 1 visitor that's not part of your household! AND they're not supposed to be going out unless its essential...

Its all very confusing 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

But first world problems...we've got this!! We are nothing if not versatile and creative, and it is fortuitous that this is happening to us in a remarkably technological age. In this crazy time we're forced to create a "covid bubble" - your own little bubble with a limited number of people you know and trust, who can get within spitting distance regularly. 

Luckily for us our respective bubbles can be brought together virtually or, in the event you live in an appropriately designed block of apartments, in reality. So we can continue to get our regular fixes. So here's what socialising in 2020 looks like...

ANZAC Day 2020

Any ANZAC Day is worth reflecting on, but it seems this will be one that for years to come we will look back on with mixed feelings. ANZAC Day is traditionally a time of coming together, gathering en masse to commemorate those who have lost their lives in service to their country and its citizens; and celebrate those who have served and are still with us, and those who continue to serve. It is also a time for reflection about some serious errors of judgement in the past - such as unequal treatment of returning First Nations people who served in war; and the less than desirable treatment of some soldiers returning from the Vietnam War - to ensure these mistakes are not repeated. Not to mention the reported ongoing mental health issues and high suicide rates of returning service men and women still, no doubt along with other issues. For many Australians ANZAC Day resonates deeply and personally. In my family, generations have served in the armed forces and seen active duty. Dad is a Vi...

Random thoughts and observations from Linda

16 April The irony of having to break isolation to collect a parcel from PO, and the parcel contains Face Masks, is not lost on me. 15 April I really should have had that haircut before going to hospital.  No, I figured it will be much easier to tie back long, and what do I care if I have regrowth while I'm laid up. Four and half months later ... Plaits seem to be the only control option 11 April During the day, my neighbourhood is now very, very quiet.  A fact emphasised by the silence-shattering sound of me tossing a wine bottle into the wheelie bin. Must take more care. 2 April Don't scare the postal workers.  Lovely, regular guy knocked at the door with a delivery.  Out of habit, I placed my hand on the screen door handle to open it.  He leapt back about 3 feet, almost yelped, and said DON'T COME OUT, I'll just leave it here.

Some random enduring Iso-images

Sam's sanitisation station. Every possible version of dispenser for 3 litres of hand sanitiser + some extra stuff when household tensions are high, extreme iso-measures are called for... while equality among felines is questionable, at least the human suffering is shared equally the delightfully creative approach to yet another significant birthday celebrated in isolation instead of San Sebastian.  Happy 40th birthday Alicia, so happy we could spend it with you as best we could! Go Team Char 80!!! More creative birthday wishes, this time for my neighbour and friend Rosie, from her loving family Getting heavy use in FaceTime PT  Iso-gym! I haven't used some of this stuff for years, but glad I'm a hoarder! Need something to offset the fact that the fridge is less than acceptable social distance away from my desk   my angel Janie, who keeps me able to fit out my doorway FaceTime PT sessions Worth more than oi...
