PASSING THOUGHT: We're getting this covid-isolation-in-the-house scenario down to a fine art...Whenever my covid-struck daughter wants to go to the toilet+shower, she texts us all. We get behind closed doors. When she is back in her room, she texts us all that the coast is clear.

Temora = Wiradjuri land. But a German first chose the site of Temora (although the town has a name of Irish derivation); another German laid out the township.

covid has not disappeared...
PASSING THOUGHT: Covid has not disappeared...My daughter has covid and is quite sick. My 2 grandsons have covid. So far, my son-in-law and I have escaped it...So far...Not easy trying to keep separate and isolated in one house...We can only try...

My daughter is exhausted from her work as a school principal and teacher...Recently, her school has suffered from many teacher absences covid-related...She has been covering for them...or trying to do so...Her husband begged her to take a day off...Now she has covid herself...Her hubby is almost relieved because it has forced her to stop where he failed...Now, here's hoping, she gets mild covid and can just focus on resting...
P.S. I have discovered that covid-ridden, stressed, exhausted teachers are grumpy. Offered my daughter a coffee from behind her closed door:

'No thanks. Don't fuss'...
Hmmm...
My daughter also added 'I'm OK'????????
Nothing like 'in-house' text messages...My daughter just texted me from 2 rooms away that she is going to the toilet + having a shower...This is crazy...

covid cases?...
Vaxxed + flu vaccine here...No covid...But have had a couple of mild colds usually lasting no more than 48 hours...While living on the Mornington Peninsula, always masked up...Since moving to the Riverina NSW recently, only masked in optometrist and doctor's surgery...
