Spending 3 nights here in Mt Field NP. A very qwerky/alternative CP called Left of Field.

We are now finding that COVID-19 is closing many of the places and activities we had planned.

Latest is that we have approval to continue under strict rules. Keeping our required distance of 1.5 m or 5 m for strangers. To be in groups of 5 when shopping. If not adhered to then we are out.

Lot’s of challenges ahead.

Retired in April 2017 after a long career in cardiac nursing which I loved, I find my life has totally changed. After almost loosing my husband last August to a dissecting aortic aneurysm complicated by a massive watershed stroke post cardiothoracic surgery, we are adapting to a very different life together. This is our now story. Update, November 2025. Chris continued to do well until he had a stroke in August 2018. This time after 2 weeks on life support with no sign of improvement he passed away peacefully with the family present. RIP Chris, much loved and missed.
