Christmas has come and gone since my last post. New Year came with a new Covid outbreak in Sydney and compulsory mask wearing was declared for all indoor areas. We are fortunate that any outbreaks are jumped on quickly and the source identified.
I'm currently on an "at home" holiday and have managed to get out and about on a few walks and visiting outdoor cafes.
Taken very late on Christmas Eve |
School holiday fun at the park |
I won tickets to The Dry - Highly recommended! |
I spotted this albino fish in the lake. |
