Christmas 2021 for us this year was a quiet family time. All of the family were present. The children were excited to give out the presents they had bought and receive their presents from us. The weather was pleasant and Paul’s smoked turkey was a hit with our festive Christmas dinner.
The growing number of Omicron cases are on the rise so being home made a lot of sense.
We were notified on NSW Health app that we had been exposed to a COVID case in Bunnings when we bought the pea straw. It was so worth it to have the garden done. I made another trip back today to buy some more plants. I’ve put in some more climbing snow peas, some mixed lettuce and 2 zucchini plants. I sewed some dwarf and climbing beans and radish seeds. The tomatoes are starting to fruit now and the lettuce, radish, zucchini and beans are almost done. I particularly want to grow a passion fruit vine again as well as some strawberries. So lots to do.
Robyn has resigned and is preparing to leave for her NT job. All subject to COVID restrictions. She is required to isolate in Alice Springs prior to being allowed to enter the community as their vaccination numbers are low leaving them vulnerable to infection.
