I live alone so managing my extra time during Covid-19 wasn’t as hard for me as some of my working friends who had to adjust to a very different situation from their normal routines.
I had enough supplies in the cupboards and even toilet paper was ok. Fresh fruit and veggies were my only trip out required. Being over 70 my daughter was concerned but I reassured her that I was fine and didn’t need supplies.
I had been given a 1000 piece puzzle last Christmas. The photo was of the island of Santorini in Greece. I had been there in 2018 and thought what a lovely way to indulge myself with memories whilst doing the puzzle,I worked on it first by separating the colours, so much blue! The water, the cupola roofs and the sky. Lots of white shades as well. It attracted me almost daily as I had it set up on the dining room table on a framed cork board with pull out drawers. I nearly went mad with the sky!
I also had a project to do on the computer. I belong to Armchair Travellers (U3A) and I had volunteered to present a holiday I had been on last year, it was a Literary Tour of the Deep South of America. Charms and Comforts of the Deep South, from Georgia, through Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, over a month. I read many books before going. Putting the photos and information together I relived the travel/studying 17 authors. I also increased my fishing on wharves and groynes in Kogarah Bay, Cooks River and Kurnell. There were some sunny days which is always nice near the water sparkle and if you catch bream, flathead or trevaly all the better. I wanted to say more but ran out of space. Anne Phillippa
