Just when I had already hit a bit of a doldrum... we've been hit with another 5-day lockdown in Melbourne.
Fellow Melbournians, I hope we can listen to each other, even if what we want to say is "Something is rotten in the state of Melbourne" or "Curses upon this COVID" or merely a wordless whimper.
I hope we can encourage each other if we're ready to be encouraged. (Sometimes a cheerful "Chin up" is salt in the wound, and all one wants to do is snarl "NO! My chin is not going up.")
I also hope we can give some ideas of what we can do during this snap lockdown AKA circuit-breaker, to not be overwhelmed when we've already had a rotten year.
It's not a very impressive list, I realise. It's just a start.
Please post with your own suggestions or comments or worries or complaints. I hope to see this thread go a little crazy, or else [in menacing voice] this fly which I've just abducted and am holding hostage is going to get it.

That's elegant and unusual. I like it.
We have vertical blinds that must go. I'm planning on sewing curtains for each affected window. Since the front of the house is almost all glass, that's a lot of measuring and cutting and sewing.
