Strangely, again, this Twitter post presents the subject in stronger, more realistic colours than appear here...yet those colours pale when this post is viewed on my laptop...I don't understand why...  

new Vic cases going up again...

Good to see so-called "cleared" #Covid19Vic cases noted in the daily updates. A more realistic indication of the ongoing pressure of Covid on the hospital system. Many of these cleared patients are still critically unwell.
As always, high vaccination rates are the game-changer. pic.twitter.com/Cxp84KsM6r

New Vic cases up 106 on yesterday's data... 

stalling retirement...

This is the very 'horror' that has stalled my retirement...I am still working...almost full time, but reduced a little further early next year...I fear relying on my not-so-large super + pension in a rental...Too many variables...too many questions...Can I survive?

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

Slowly the rain is easing and I can actually see pieces of the Dromana mural... pic.twitter.com/ygHsOJEMyC

Love the happy, bright mural colours on a grey and rainy Dromana day...(Yes...I am playing with features on my new phone...I'm learning...) pic.twitter.com/8u4YVSmWSg

Still more rain art on the windscreen canvas...I am easily entertained...Blame the anxiety kicking in... pic.twitter.com/Az5seSGgeV
