a new life...

In our latest digital event, @c_s_wallace and @fbongiornoanu talk about what you can do now to help the historians of the future piece together what it was like to live through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Melbourne is now firmly in Stage 4 lockdown+I'm finding I'm leaning to bursts of support for Victorian premier, Daniel Andrews. It's not a political statement. It's a statement of respect for a real leader in tough times. Poetry has dwindled+ I seek the quirky. Snow is appealing.

My blog also includes a list of terminology that has emerged and evolved during the pandemic. Some new words. Some new expressions? Old expressions with a new twist? How long will they last? Just become museum curiosities?

Welcome to 2020 (and beyond we hope)...the year the world overturned with covid-19.

I am a high school teacher, living on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia.

In response to the above video released today, (Good Friday),
I will be recording my daily Twitter posts here and any other postings.
Each can be accessed collectively by label.

This blog is intended to be an insight into my experiences this year
- being wary of infection, but learning to live -
see, think, wonder - differently.

Next Wednesday I begin a life of remote teaching English and History.

One day, history may appreciate the little people...
