The surreal week between the two lockdowns when things reopened for a week. Decided to venture out to the city. City is a ghost town. The streets are empty, half the shops are not even reopened yet. Things are the same, but so different.
Lockdown has officially started, and I’m feeling subdued and annoyed, but semi-hopeful. The permanence of it hasn’t fully sunk in, and the light peeking through these clouds makes me feel hopeful.
Hallelujah, we can now travel within 10km of our homes. So I google the nicest beach within 10km that I can find, (it’s only 8km away = score) and find this little oasis in my hometown that I’d never knew existed. It’s a gem, with expansive water views. The sun is shining and life feels pretty good.
Feeling stuck, I head out for a walk to try to bring some peace to my overall state of mind. Half way through, this sky catches my eye. I love how it looks, set against the black telephone wires.
It feels decidedly unfair that NSW is heading out of lockdown while VIC is still very much stuck. I’m happy for them but I want the same for us.
The walk helps. It gets me out of my funk. Turns out that taking this photo inspires me to create this post. I come home tired but filled with a new sense of resolve to just get through this. We can do it.
