Welcome 2021

With Christmas, New Year, three family birthdays and another close friends 70th birthday celebration it has been a busy few weeks. Tomorrow is the first day of February, how time has flown.

School has recommenced and a new routine begins.

The restrictions we have been adhering to have been recently relaxed. Travel over state borders is open once more. Although Perth tonight is going into a 5 day lockdown as a positive case has been detected in a worker at a quarantine hotel.

Globally much is happening with the second wave spread of the virus, vaccination production and the huge logistical challenge of distribution programs underway. It’s difficult to comprehend the scale and enormity of what is happening. I feel for my sister’s partner and her family in Capetown, 3 of whom have the virus and are hospitalised with concerns for their health. Daily updates help keep in the loop.

My friends and relatives in America have fortunately stayed well.

It has been with interest that many of us have watched the news bulletins and historical events as they evolved during the last few weeks in America.

On a crafty note I took on the scary challenge of sock knitting. I did this fully knowing the addictiveness of taking on such a project. I’ve admired the skill of an accomplished sock knitter for a long time due to the complexity involved. Little did I think I’d become one.

Another challenge I’ve taken on is the coffee machine. Yes, this was Chris’s area of expertise and I have missed the good coffee that was made for me.

After much YouTube research I’m doing OK but more practice needed in the barista skills department.

So much going on….
