Well hello,
Today was our first day of lock-down here in Canberra. Apparently Canberra will be in lock-down for seven days however I think it will be for a bit longer as today there were six cases (it is only the first day). Tomorrow will be interesting for the number of cases. I hope everyone is OK. I don't think it will bother me if we are in lock-down as I don't currently work and stay at home most days. Hubby is working from home and it is nice to have him in the house (even though we don't speak much during the day). I am also happy to stay at home to be safe for myself, my family and for other people. My youngest child is very anxious as he just started at university again doing face to face which he loves and have accepted the fact that he can not do his course on-line. He may need to defer his studies until next year which has him very upset. Hopefully after the lock-down he will a job.
I know there are some people who disagree with this lock-downs but it is for the whole of community's safety. These people either don't think that Covid 19 is real (it is just the flu) and don't accept that it is a pandemic therefore will not follow instructions about the lock-down (such as staying at home and only go out for essential shopping and wearing a mask when out shopping). Let's hope these people don't get sick and pass it on to others in the community.
In these times, some people do find it hard. I always look for things I am grateful for and try and find positive 'vibes' from my life. Some things I am grateful are:
· I have a home which has warmth, love and laughter with plenty of food for at least two weeks. I will only need to go to the shops either on Wednesday or Thursday for milk and a few vegetables.
· I'm lucky that I don't have to work, my wonderful husband works very hard for us.
· I really enjoy cooking, I made home-made bread to go with our pumpkin soup for dinner tonight.
Hopefully, everyone stays well.
