good news and bad news...

PASSING THOUGHT: Another rollout of scary pandemic news as per usual today. By 8:30am I braved the supermarket this morning. Packed already. That's all for bad news. The good news=literally everyone in Dromana Hub masked up+QR coding.
Literally everyone was giving people space🙏

shopping early or late...

I have levelled up to super careful mode. Missed my usual 9:00am rule to be at the shopping centre if I must shop. So instead arrived at 8:05pm tonight. Offloaded a carload of good to Salvos (part of my big cleanse before moving) and went to the supermarket.
Hardly anyone there.

house inspection anxiety...

More house inspection waiting...This time in a drizzly Dromana Hub carpark...Supermarket shopping done...When rain eases, maybe I'll go further...More time spent well to sponge the anxiety... pic.twitter.com/bkfcRjOipK

Dromana mural extension...

This morning, I found that the large Dromana mural overlooking the Dromana Hub carpark had been extended further...Again, difficult to photograph, with small fence, plants and cars nearby, but this seemed to be the clearest angle... pic.twitter.com/IIdYvf9ISI

Loved the body language of the cyclists in the Dromana mural extension...

'beasties' in Dromana Hub carpark...

An interesting 'beastie' parked near my car in the Dromana Hub carpark today...

Another interesting 'beastie' parked right in front of my car in the Dromana carpark today...
This one had an employment advertisement on the windshield and a rather artistic reflection of clouds... pic.twitter.com/hO2TMIHWKi

Dromana mural...

Dromana mural on Bendigo Bank wall facing the Dromana Hub carpark...
This is the best photo I've managed...Trying to capture the whole mural is not easy...Always cars parked by it + morning sun...If I try afternoons, the sun direction has improved, but there are more cars...Grrrr pic.twitter.com/xh1TrKo4tG

shining on RUOK Day...

PASSING THOUGHT: I know RUOK Day is becoming like another entitled day on the calendar. But today in Dromana was special- RUOK messages on IGA walls near the registers+staff in yellow T-shirts+many wearing yellow RUOK hair ties+yellow balloons...
Yes...Happiness was in the air...

all masked up...

Yes...Very proud of my Dromana world on the Mornington Peninsula. Each time I do the supermarket shopping early, I would be hard-pressed to find anyone without a mask...That includes in the supermarket, the carpark, on the drive to+from (even people walking dogs are masked up)...

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) August 8, 2021

It was IGA Dromana I was referencing 🤣

— lockeddown (@lovingit5555) August 8, 2021

I must admit, I know nothing about the rest of the Mornington Peninsula. Most are outside my 5km limit. My comment, as I mentioned, only referenced my ongoing experience in one place - Dromana...and specifically Dromana IGA area...

I have never noticed this feature on Dromana foreshore near the pier before...(I have seen the exercise feature for runners, but not a bike rider feature)...

Saturday morning shopping...

Unpacked dishwasher + Saturday local shopping + short walk - unhinged by some rising panic again...At least I saw a little of the sea...So far, procrastination is minimal...so far...Here are views of Saturday's Dromana Hub carpark at 9:30am - with lingering fog...hardly anyone... pic.twitter.com/cNonvJgUQM

shopping adjustments...

Adjusted lockdown conditions - little Dromana Hub Shopping Mall now directs shoppers to enter at one door and exit the other. That ensures people do not pass /face one another.

(In the image below, the mall's on the left of the carpark...It = a Ritchies IGA + 6 other shops) pic.twitter.com/skiyGIXyEu
