This is where I write my thoughts, feelings and my daily trials, tribulations and happy things

| PROMPT September 16th What is your happiest memory? Describe it in vivid detail! There are so many to choose from. Funnily enough they aren’t the births of my three children. Of course meeting them for the first time was wonderful but the times were also painful, stressful, with an overwhelming feeling of responsibility. I do remember a moment when I was completely happy. It was surreal. My husband and I were in our fifties, we had gone to a remote part of Western Australia to visit our son who was working as a tour guide up in the Kimberley region. For a special surprise, for just the two of us, he’d organised a helicopter flight to a waterfall only reachable by helicopter. Mirri Mirri Falls it’s called. You can look it up on Google. The pilot dropped us off with a picnic hamper and a bottle of champagne. He left us there alone and said he’d return in two hours. There was no one else there, just we two. We swam nude, laid on rocks in the sunshine and toasted that moment in time as one we’d never forget. |
| PROMPT September 15th Have you picked up any new hobbies or interests since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March? In short, absolutely nothing, I’ve lost a few things, such as my weekly singing group. I don’t think we’ll get that back either until we have a vaccine. Apparently singing is the best way to spread diseases. You only have to watch a singer closely and you’ll see the spray of saliva. Fortunately all the things I love, like writing, visiting WdC daily and walking my dog haven’t been affected. I lost my chance to go to the UK to visit my family. I can’t see that happening either in the near to distant future. Things are getting bad again in England and we can’t travel out of Western Australia because it’s so difficult to get back in. There is limit to how many Western Australians wishing to return from overseas each week can come in. It’s about 500. Then they need to quarantine in a hotel for two weeks when they get here at their own expense of $3000. So, no, I can’t see me leaving here. Western Australia is isolated from the rest of the country, were the only state with no community spread of the virus. Our premier is paranoid. We had a person who tried to sneak over the border to avoid quarantine and they got jailed for six months. Another person who snuck out of their quarantine hotel now has to wear an electronic tracking device! |
