Sunday challenge... How Are You Coping With The Lock Down/Stay At Home Order

Show us how you have dealt with the situation. How did you fill your time? How did you cope?

We left our home in Queensland towards the end of March, having sold it because the acreage was too hard to look after. We decided to take the opportunity of living in a cooler climate, having lived in Queensland's tropical humidity for many years. Little did we realise that it would all happen in the very middle of the pandemic, and by then we were financially committed, and had no choice but to go with the flow. Now, just two months later we have settled in our new home, and feel that we have been here for ages. We will miss our family and friends from up North. We fully expected to be able to "pop" up and see them now and again. Not so, at the moment, as the border into Queensland is still closed.

However, always keeping busy, some beautiful sunsets, and flowers. Some pretty wild weather in May. Plenty of variety, including walks on the local beaches, and in our neighbourhood. We are lucky that we live in a rural/coastal area, where it is relatively uncrowded.

You have passed the time so well during lockdown, and your photographic record is really splendid. I wish we lived closer to the seaside.

Me and my wife have watched Australia's 'Love it, or List it', and that was so very interesting to follow.
