Strange times. Lock down is over and we begin a new phase of freedom for vaccinated people. We met Al for coffee in a Healesville beer garden yesterday and getting in was problematic. I had a print out of my vaccination certificate and Edd has his on his phone. This was not good enough. You needed your phone Q card linked to your my Gov vac certificate page. Oh my Gosh! They expect everyone to instinctively know how to set all this up. Even Josh did not find it easy to get our phones to the first stage! Luckily the hotel had a man at the door and every potential customer was having the same problems so he used his common sense and we all got in.
Life on the farm is much easier to manage. We had several dry days and I have been able to weed vegetable beds and deal with the grass that is growing flat out. The snow peas and zucchinis have just started to flower and we have broccoli and various salad plants in abundance. Josh’s young chooks are almost adult size and his new bee swarm is still here (we hope). Bo has been helping us with the animal feeding and milking. We enjoy seeing her regularly as much as we appreciate the help. Lock down cut us off from all our friends and family which was hard.
Josh worked all week with stevo building and helping at the brewery. He has better down loads speeds in his cabin than we get because he built a special arial from scratch. Edd and I are wondering if we should get a new TV. We got the old one in 2009 after the fires and it is not set up for modern technology. There are a few TV shows we enjoy and being able to watch them later when we miss them would be great if we could work out how.
