Back in Lockdown



Just when you thought it was safe to go out....
Someone did something daft and now we have that "Second Wave" we were trying to avoid.
Lock-down 2.0 started off with a few Suburbs, now it encompasses all of Melbourne and Mitchell Shire an area of approx 13,000 km². 
For those of us that live within this boundary we have just 4 reasons to leave the house. 
The hope is to contain the Virus to a Geographical Area.

Is SIX weeks going to be enough to squash the curve when, with more and more testing, more and more infections are being found?  Time - and only Time will tell.

How am I surviving the Lock down?      
UFOs - That's How! 

I have been a "Stay at Home Mum" for 35 years, and have many projects that have been put aside with the wail of a Child in need. 

In all those years I have never been bored and I don't intend to start now.
So - Which Project will it be?

Considering that Going on Holidays is not one of those 4 allowed Options - I decided to pick up my Scrapbook record of "Our Last Big Adventure." 
It was a Holiday of a Lifetime and one we wanted to have before the Kids went off, and started having adventures without Us.

The last entry was 3rd December 2008 - It was DH's Birthday and we were far far from Home!

Actually we were taking a Shortcut somewhere between the Yorke and Eyre Peninsulas in the middle of the Spencer Gulf - 
South Australia. 


The Boys were thrilled to be invited onto the Bridge by the Captain and shown the finer parts of the operation of the Vessel.

The First Instruction - 
Sit and Don't Touch!


My Scrapbook is not all that different to Instagram posts I send today - so I am hoping to finish the next 10 Days of pages by the time we are out of Lock-down.  

Now - Where do I start?

  2. Heeheehee I have so many Projects Half Done and Un-Finished Objects that I suspect that as long as I can get any missing supplies for each one, it would take me several years of lockdown before I got anywhere close to completing them all. Of course, being one of the lucky minority to be able to work full time from home means I also don't have as much time to work on them.

    It's a situation that I actually don't mind, because having a job is huge relief in the present environment and keeps my mind plenty occupied so I don't have too much time to dwell on the anxieties caused by the pandemic and uncertainty.

    I am hoping that before the end of this current round of lockdown, somehow I will at last finish the monitor stand that I started making my dad last year. It's taking up all my bench space in my garage 'workshop', which is stopping me from working on several other 'PHD's. Just it's so much sanding to go...bleargh.
