I have mixed feelings about living through Sydney's long lockdown of 2021. I live with my husband of over 30 years & lucky for us, our daughter and her new husband are staying with us while they're in-between houses (their new place will be ready before Christmas they hope!). I say 'lucky for us' because I think having their company has been a huge silver lining to our lockdown experience. We might have gone mad if it was just the two of us! Thankful for their youthful company. All 4 of us have worked throughout the Covid19 Pandemic, working from home during lockdowns. Lots of video-meetings, phone calls and interacting with laptops. We are eating more treats (ice-cream & chocolate) and drinking more alcohol than we normally would....I guess we feel like we deserve these treats because we are being deprived of so many other things. We are all walking lots. In the morning for coffee, at lunch to stretch our legs...luckily we have a National Park within walking distance and we have been discovering some lovely walking trails that we've never seen before. We miss seeing our 2 grown sons and their partners. They live in Sydney too but in other LGA's. We all join together on a weekly Sunday afternoon video-call to catch-up and have a few laughs over a game of trivia (we have been taking turns to prepare the weekly quiz). I'm grateful to live in Australia and grateful there is a vaccine for us.
