Covid Virus- Blog 3

2 Apr

Today started early as the rain was hitting the corrugated iron roof... what a wonderful sound it is to hear a good rain shower which continued for about 3 hours

The only negative to this was the early morning ride was off the agenda!

After breakfast I went down to the shops at Blairgowrie to have a takeaway coffee and get the papers to read. The shops were not busy which was good and everyone was observing the distancing rules

After returning home and having breakfast it was time to mow the lawns and tidy up both 2& 4 Helena Court!

The mowing of 4 was satisfying as the grass layed with help from Sam,nick and the grandchildren was a great improvement to the backyard....

The lawn looks good and has survived the summer well

Later I mowed the grass in number 4 which made the house look good from the outside... hoping it might prove a good omen in getting some tenants to rent the house.

After completing the domestic items it was off for a ride to Safety Beach. The ride to the destination was very fast with a tail breeze making speeds of over 30 kph very easy. After a short stop at Safety Beach for a photo it was off back home. The trip home was a bit slower but speeds of over 25 kph were achieved.

The interesting observation on the ride is the signage indicating the closure of the beaches... Near Blairgowrie the signs are on nearly all the entrances to the beaches whilst in Rosebud and Dromana they are a little more circumspect... I wonder whether the antics of the residents at our end of the Mornington Peninsula need more rigorous reminders of the beach closures as a result of the idiots who flouted the isolation rules following their ski trip to Aspen??

After arriving home and showering it was time to join the family on a Houseparty conference call. Good to catch up with everyone on how they are coping with the current Covid rules regarding being home

Seems to me that everyone is coping well and the grandchildren are being kept busy with well organised activities by their parents... this looks like continuing for about 6 month period based on the latest advice from the Prime Minister

Good that we are all adjusting to life in the new norm ...

Now for a few photos

Wow... tomato’s from the veggie garden... planted by the grandchildren
