After having relaxed restrictions NSW is going to tighten restrictions again from the 24th of July.
My favourite waiters and waitresses at my favourite cafe are going to lose their jobs again. Those poor people. I really feel for them.
It's been my birthday and my brother organised a "socially- distanced" birthday party for me. It was nice. It was the first time I had seen my brother in five months because of COVID-19 restrictions.
I'm still watching online concerts, French films and Australian Ballet performances online which is keeping me sane.
The French film festival is back after being cancelled in March due to COVID-19 restrictions. I am going to see five films. I have seen one already, "Mes Jours de Gloire", complete with mask and glasses.
Marion, the Swiss international student who was helping me with my French, has finished her year at Sydney Uni and has taken off north with her boyfriend, Sebastian. They have hired a campervan and are driving up the east coast all the way to Cairns visiting the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree on the way. Luckily the Queensland border opened on the tenth of July so they have been able to do it. What a year Marion has had with the bushfires at Christmas and now COVID-19 !
I now have a new French tutor - Alexandre. He is young and from Alsace in France. He has been in Australia 18 months.
The pandemic reminds me of the story of the plagues in the Old Testament when Moses went to Pharaoh to ask permission for the Jews to leave Egypt. How quick and devastating the plagues were !
How quick and devastating the COVID-19 pandemic has been ! So much sickness and death so quick, in just a matter of months. Terrible!
