children care for Mum in lockdown...

Look guys it’s okay here in Melb. Last night my youngest child actually TUCKED ME INTO BED AND SAID “it’s ok mum this will end watch a show on the laptop” #COVID19Vic

My 3yo was nuts yesterday, when I told him I was only sad because I was tired & needed sleep he told me it would be alright & that I just needed to take a teddy to bed. This morning I thanked him for letting me sleep all night & he said "I couldn't have done it without you" ❤

I dropped my salad sandwich at lunch today, after a very trying morning, and my 5 year old ran to the kitchen to attempt another for me 💜

after lockdown thoughts...

Hello Melbourne friends. Tell me the things you’re gonna do when lockdown is over!

— Imo (@imogenrq) September 9, 2020

I would like to wander around a shopping centre and buy stuff I don’t need.

— Imo (@imogenrq) September 9, 2020

I’m gonna hug my friends for approximately 10 hours. I’m gonna go to the zoo, I am worried the animals are lonely! Gonna walk around the city and complain about trams. Buy coffee from every cafe I see.

Big bowl of pasta and a glass of red at a counter somewhere. Pub with friends. Go see my partner’s family. Take a trip to regional Vic. Sit in a park and read.

I'm gonna attend so much live sport that I might have to get an air bnb in the city overnight just to make the back to back days easier.

And go write in my favourite café! I miss it so much! I used to go there like twice a week. I miss the staff and the other regulars and my spot by the window 😪

When covid is over-over? Gonna go to a dog park and lie down on the grass and disappear under a pile of wiggling slobbery fur

Not strictly a Melburnian, but as soon as I can, I'm going to drive past this sign and cry the best tears. pic.twitter.com/eYZhIRaMsm

we Melburnians according to Anna...

A wonderful, sparky, spikey, snarky article from Anna... That conglomeration of incoherent rumblings we Melburnians feel cavorting around inside us has been beautifully represented in her article...Go Anna...🙏❤️😃❤️😃🙏 https://t.co/kzR7lJRz7c pic.twitter.com/HzL2lQVAxN
