March 2020
The initial shock of the word pandemic became a reality for me, personally, the last weeks of March 2020. So many given speeches by our PM Scott Morrison followed by warnings from health heads really had me in a spin. Our management at our wonderful residence did keep us informed on all matters relating to our environment and home as best they could. However, as none of us in the community nor our carers had ever before experienced this medical phenomenon, it truly was a frightening situation.
April 2020
My birthday is on the 1st of April haha and it was an original celebration I must say. My family consisting of son Dallas age 46, Hugh my grandson 13 and Zara my granddaughter 15 connected with me via WhatsApp (to me a new sensation). At the appointed time of 7pm, I viewed a lovely table with a delicious BBQ dinner, pinot noir by the glass (not for the children) and a cake in the background. They told me it was a delicious meal; I could even smell it. It was then decided a second call at 7:45 for cake and candles – what a hoot! I was here in my room, they were singing their song, candles were blown out and cake cut. They did enjoy it. We’ll always remember it as the most unique and funniest celebration as yet and more to come.
