Lockdown day 8

Today our concreting was finished. We drive to Yarraville to grab some more building  supplies from Miles and some sourdough starter from

Shari. 

Harry and Luce slept in the tent on the deck, I tried dying the kids hair purple (it didn’t work) and holly tried breaking in under the deck to retrieve lost things! 

Lockdown day 7

Today we have been advised by the state government that we are in stage 3, this means we must stay home unless absolutely necessary. We can go for a walk but that’s it.

Today Holly won the Freeman Kindness Project and picked LED lights for her room.

Harry was off to a flying start, he made Easter cookies for Andrews work, made my bed and cleaned out the Tupperware drawer! 

Holly gave Lucy a makeover, put pink (chalk) foils in her hair! I went for a big walk this morning, I woke up feeling a bit flat. We walked to the cafe for a coffee and that was about it! 

Lockdown day 6

Day 6 , Harry cooked dinner, we played a game of tennis, Macy and I went for. A big hour walk and we all watched a movie. 

Lockdown day 5

A slow day at home, Andrew worked from home for most of the morning. We went for a walk for coffee and Holly did some interval training on the way. We tried house party with the Vicos and Norrie’s and failed dismally! Resorted to a nice long FT call with Pol and another with Loredana for her birthday. 

We drank 2 bottles of rose which sent me to sleep very early last night!! 

The kindness project is going well!!!

Lockdown day 4

Lockdown day 4 - I left early to do the grocery shopping, heading to Knox at 8am. Eerily quiet, and 90% of retail closed. On a plus, I did get toilet paper and paper towel (a rare commodity at the moment!). We FaceTime Mum for her 69th birthday and spoke to Aunty Marg. The kids FaceTime cousins - Marley and Chilli mostly. We went for a walk to a local tennis court and had a quick hit, although it was pretty hot so will try later in the arvo tomorrow. The bobcat came and scraped away the old shed slab and to get ready for more concrete. We are at over 3000 cases in Australia now and 13 deaths. 13 days ago we were at 400. Let’s hope this lockdown slows things down.

Lockdown day 3

Day three was a little easier than day 2. 

Lots of building again outside, creations are endless and providing hours of fun! Holly finishes her English assignment, which means she is homework free soen2 weeks!

Gabe dropped over some flour (thank god) and clay for the kids. Kids stood on opposite sides of the road and talked with masks on! 

Treasure hunts and drawing. I got some work done and we went for our afternoon walk to the cafe. Some thoughtful person drew rainbows all over the bike path which was so nice and fun to follow. And we literally stopped and smelt the roses!!! Maybe lockdown is what we all needed????

Lockdown Day 2

Lock down day two started and ended well. Harry and Lucy spent the most part of the day outside in their makeshift woodwork factory (on the old shed slab/basketball court).  They make a table, tea towel rack, drill holder and drill bit holder. This was done completely unaided by me or Holly. I lacked motivation today but face timing some faves made it easier.  The Freeman Kindness Project is off to a roaring start, the kids are loving it and being creative with their ideas. They are helping each other and jumping to make all the beds in the morning, all hoping to win a prize a the end of each week.
We went for a walk/ride to high street road shops for a coffee and cookie for afternoon tea and explored different parts of the of the bike track.
Lets see what tomorrow brings!
