Taking Stock - March

Making : Much Merriment as restrictions ease and we have zero cases. Very much a case of making hay while the sun shines and I'm presuming we'll see another lockdown sooner, rather than later...

Admiring: Pretty much no one in Australian Politics. Somehow the people who got elected to high office, and the people who work there are not the calibre of people that should be there. We need to get rid of these people (and I'm not saying switch party, I'm saying replace them for different people).

Becoming: Very disappointed in the Nation's "leaders". We need to demand a lot more of them.

Curious: Why we aren't talking of the booster needed to cover the SA strain (and possibly Brazillian). Other countries that went with Astra Zeneca already have booster plans in motion for later this year.

Delighted: I got to see Jenny Lee at the MCA - I really enjoyed the exhibition. Especially the room where you were fully immersed. To me, because of what I've been reading, I felt like I was walking through the human body, surrounded by cells (this was not the artist's intent, but it is what worked for me!)

Excited: At being allowed to dance. Elated, in fact! 

Going: To the Bingo on Saturday night and can not wait! Fingers crossed under the new restrictions we can dance! Not sure what numbers were booked....

Reading: Just finished The Immortal Life of Henrietta Laks (which is about the Hela cells) which is really interesting and entertaining on audio. In print, The Divers Clothes Lie Empty, which I'm really enjoying. Have The Midnight Library lined up next.

Viewing: Dark - which I really like. Once you get past the first episode, which misleadingly has a serial killer vibe, it's awesome. But I need a chart to keep it straight in my mind. Also loved Alice in Borderlands.

Eating: My favourite cake!

Looking: forward to Max Frost's streamed gig on the weekend!

Wishing: This was over but grateful we have been so lucky!

Enjoying: Strolling galleries while catching up with friends.  

Loving: Being back at shows - had fun at Drummer Queens and Fangirls. Got quite a few more lined up for next month! Would be much happier if the spacing & masks were mandatory though.

Sharing: This fab series of  free streamed gigs out of the UK. First off is a lovely set from Grace Petrie. Worth checking out.

Smelling: To check I don't have COVID. I know, it's nuts. I had a total moment of panic when I couldn't smell the beautiful roses I'd been given. Then I realised it was because I could only smell the fish curry that had taken over the whole house after one of the kids microwaved it for lunch....

Grateful: Gladys came to the party for my party and I got to invite 20 more guests last minute. Even more grateful that those that got the last minute invite said yes and weren't offended...

Listening: To Rag'n'Bone Man

Have a great month, everybody! Remember if you get your vaccination in Oz, you are not covered until the second shot in a few months so everyone needs to mask up and distance for a while longer yet!

Stay safe, have fun and spend, spend, spend locally if you can!
