Self isolation and social distancing

Dear readers,

Just a quick blog entry to let you know that we are well and hope that you are too. The only people I have spoken to, at a safe distance of course, have been the kids and two friends who came for hubby's birthday two weeks ago.

 

I didn't get the memo about wearing hats

Corona of course

Other than that we see people walking by our living room window, mainly dog walkers and hard-core runners. The schools are closed now for the virus and for the Easter holiday so I guess there will be a lot of desperate parents trying to think of things to do with their kids at home. They have closed many of the beaches in Sydney but not down here so I guess they can still take the kids to play on the beach but keeping a safe distance to others.

Well, this turned out to be mainly about the Corona virus but it is hard to talk about anything else. I remember every time there was a flu epidemic when I grew up, for example the Hong Kong flu, my grandmother started reminiscing about the Spanish flu and the horror of that period in her life. She was born in 1896 so she was just a young adult when the great war ended.

Well, I better go and get dressed now since hubby is in a Skype conference for work and I don't want to be seen sitting here in my undies and a tee shirt. He is working from home now during the virus and it comes with its pro and cons mainly pros of course.

Until next time, keep your distance and wash wash wash!
