ABC News: Some COVID-19 restrictions in NSW ease today for fully vaccinated people — what you need to know. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-11/covid19-restrictions-nsw-easing-explainer/100517900

It’s official, restrictions are lifting but caution is still necessary in this LGA. I must say that there is a feeling of positivity and optimism after the 108 days of lockdown we have experienced. It will be interesting to see how people behave to the relaxing of imposed restrictions we have observed for so long. We can only trust the advise/guidance given by our health experts, the politicians leadership and how people react.
Two things I’m really looking forward to are getting my haircut and resuming our Tuesday lunch arrangement. Both will happen tomorrow.


Springs arrival has inspired me to get my veggie garden planted. I have lettuce, tomato,radish, climbing and dwarf beans, snow peas, cucumber, zucchini, spinach, rhubarb, rocket and potted herbs. Something very satisfying to grow your own vegetables.

I’m enjoying having the time to revisit my many recipe books for ideas and inspiration. I also need to become more active now the weather is so lovely. My bingeing Netflix is now not necessary.
The last month has been stressful regarding the grandkids. We didn’t know how they were or if/when we would see them again as their mother didn’t return them after her access weekend. So for two weeks, after legal intervention they are back with Paul. It’s hard for all concerned. Some situations will never be accepted or fully resolved.
Van had her annual vet visit and is “the perfect weight” for her. She enjoys her long walks with Robyn.
Robyn is doing this;

If you feel so inclined, any donations would be happily received.

Another thing that I’m looking forward to is seeing my sister. It’s not going to happen soon but hopefully not much longer. It’s made more difficult as she exercised her right to not get vaccinated. It will be after December 1st before the restrictions will be lifted for her.
