I'm in Geelong, so I didn't personally hit that intense 5km lockdown, but we were still at home unless there were "essential" reasons to leave teh house. It's certainly been a long year.
with enormous support from us all (with the exception of Murdoch-owned newspapers, who can go die in a fire if they would be so kind).
Yes, absolutely. Personally, I think Dan did a good job of managing an incredibly difficult and virtually unknown situation and if this has taught e anything, it's to watch ABC news and not even bother looking at SkyNews because it's only going to make me grit my teeth and seeth.
(One of the outraged tennis players tested positive for Covid halfway through her "totally unnecessary" quarantine. And all Melburnians were immediately stricken with a sudden case of schadenfreude.)
Yes, that is very true. *sniggers*
We are about to book in our Ballarat caravan park visit for April. If this plunges Victoria into our third lockdown, I will call that trip cursed, apologise profusely to everyone, and never again attempt it.
Well... that just makes me glad that we've got a weekend away booked in Feb. I mean, just in case your holiday plans have been the cause of lockdown, at least I'll get to leave the house for a little while. (In theory, in 2020, Mum and I had a three week tour of China and Japan booked. We literally booked it in Dec-19, and by the first week of Feb, we were very happy to cancel and get most of our money back. I doubt there will be any overseas trips for the next few years, so camping is the go.)
I think my clearest memory is Feb/March, before lockdowns, when I was still working in teh office 5 days a week and everyone was struggling to find toilet paper, tissues, sanitiser, paper hand towels, hand soap, nappies -- every time someone went shopping, there'd be a call around the team for what people were missing and a promise to pick it up if Coles had it in stock. It was a nice bit of teamwork.
