I am a 60 year old (soon to be 61) retired teacher living on her own.
I felt buoyant till Thursday, the 14th of May. On that day my mood changed and I don't know why. I don't know what triggered it.
I had a wonderful year planned. Season tickets to the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Brandenburg Orchestra, the ballet, the Sydney Dance Company, the opera, Bell Shakespeare and the French film festival.
I have been watching online performances.
Musicians from the Australian Chamber Orchestra have very generously been performing from their own homes and posting online. I feel I know the performing artists much better because of this.
I used to receive a kiss on the cheek from my young nephews.
My little street has been fantastic. Neighbours have really stepped up. I've had phone calls and offers of help. The best thing about where I live are the neighbours. There has been lots of love and kindness in the community. That has been my experience.
I've left a few packets of toilet paper on doorsteps.
My superannuation went down about 20%. This was a worry. It has since come up again a bit. There is nothing I can do. Surprisingly I am not now worried about it. It will come up again. I am with a top industry fund and I have confidence in them. I trust them.
One week ago I found out that the elderly mother-in-law of a friend of mine in Europe has just spent 2 weeks in hospital with COVID-19. She is at home now but still on oxygen. I am going to send her a small gift of Australian toiletries.
Two days ago I received a letter that said Westconnex would be tunnelling under my house.
To be continued.
