Woman with a scowl stretched her arm to maintain the 1.5 metre (naturally, it was less than that) distance as we pass – everyone is a threat or carrier! Then there have been days where complete strangers greet you, something uncommon in our streets. The pandemic has truly brought the best and worst in us.
After my meditation/yoga routine, do a few exercises from FitOn. Many benefits of working from home. Now I hop out of bed, my office is right next to it, can keep the distinction between work and home.
Spending time with Zoom sessions and podcasts, had almost daily Zoom sessions this week, hectic. Love busying myself at home, Zoom sessions take care of ‘socialising’, sometimes with trivia.
Today is library book drop day – so grateful to the rangers. To see this sense of community and service is most heart-warming, go libraries!
Have become selective with melancholic news. Donate to Dymocks for books to kids with no access to reading material. Most of the local cafes decided to do takeaway...feel compelled to buy a chai or sandwich. People are trying.
Great speaking with Linda in Vancouver yesterday after 30+ years and it took COVID for me to make the WhatsApp call. She emailed and we vowed to do it again!
At peace with getting through projects at home. Attempted bread making as love cooking. Will try with cumin seeds and fried onion…can smell it baking already!
Weekly movie with Rita as i's Friday, seeing my other daughter tomorrow, yay!
Reflect more on how I would like to spend my retirement in a few years – meaningful creativity, continue studying French, reading. My daughters may be living overseas so trips to visit them. Graciousness and greater focus on meaning of life will continue to be my mantra.
