Unfortunately I'm in Texas which is quickly becoming a hotspot here in the States. Scary for sure but at least I've been working from home as is my husband and that helps. We will all get through this as long as we do the right thing by social distancing, washing hands, etc. I'm ready for next year though and hopefully a vaccine! :)Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-54392068609119893882020-07-11T16:16:51.716+10:002020-07-11T16:16:51.716+10:00You have to look for the positives wherever you ca...You have to look for the positives wherever you can find them right Kathryn!

Thinking of you all as you cope with lock down and the border being closed. I follow it all on the news every night.. Make sure you stay safe.

I love watching the Australian Open tennis from there (almost) every January. Sorry to hear the situation there has worsened due to Covid ... I'm surprised medical officials there don't think masks are necessary, huh? Along with distancing it seems like a good idea. In Canada the border here is closed ... and the cases in the West are relatively low 550 active cases in my province but we are staying vigilant. hope you all stay well!thecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-9285385191803749792020-07-09T23:14:00.767+10:002020-07-09T23:14:00.767+10:00There are speculations that one or two of the most...There are speculations that one or two of the most affected provinces in SA will also have to go under strict Lock Down again.

We have no lockdown or curfew after months of strictly enforced curfew. No shopping medicines only allowed as a reason. Going without a mask is fine and jail time so people are very careful! I think stringent rules are necessary because there are always the odd person who will not adhere to them.

I wish you luck and a quick lessening of cases hopefully. And that's interesting about masks! There's huge debate about them here. <br /><br />Melbourne sounds like a fantastic city. I do hope to visit Australia someday and Melbourne would definitely be a city I'd like to experience. I'm sorry you have to go back into lockdown though. That may be coming for us here too.
