We have been self isolating since the first week of March - the last time we went out was the 2nd March with the exception of shopping for food. While we would normally keep away from everything over public holidays and school holidays this year we are beginning to go a bit stir crazy. I suppose that what happens when you are an early adapter.
Normally I would be tired after a big day of entertaining, and looking down the barrel of a big clean, but not this year. This year everything is sparkling because we have continued to find little projects each day that could be done like clean out a cupboard, clean up the garden, but really now we literally have no projects left to really do.
I know the kids are also going a bit stir crazy, D1 and boyfriend (soon to be husband in 4 weeks) have been working from home for 4 weeks now and they too are finding it difficult to keep themselves busy when not working and each day is becoming a little more like the same.
We try to only watch the early news in the morning and then the nightly news at 6pm because the day can just get away from you watching the same information all day long. At first it was sort of OK to keep up to date with whats going on as there were messages from every politician but that has also faded a bit. Me I now follow ScoMo on facebook because that's the truth and Annasticia Palaszczuk, this gives me a good overview of our National information and our State information. I am not saying the TV networks aren't doing a good job, because I think in the main they are - not a lot of fake news at the moment and they are I believe trying hard to keep it real, but I don't want the watered down versions of press conferences, I don't want their opinion on what these people are saying, I want to hear it from the horses head and not the horses arse so to speak.
Australia has done an amazing job, ScoMo and his national cabinet what a stroke of genius, able to put all those people together to make one team and that is such a great thing to see, it will also mean there really shouldn't be any finger pointing when we reach the other side. We are one!
Also I am particularly over football players and their woes - who cares, from where I sit they should all be sacked and let a new group come through but under different guidelines so sporting stars (or so they think) understand they are not above it all and the people who really pay their wages are hurting.
It is so sad to see pictures of mass burials in New York, and other places where the bodies are left on the roadside - and yet we still see people not taking it seriously and that is so annoying. Lets keep our fingers crossed that Australia continues on its path, as we seem to be fairing better than most.
