1. Travel to far places (my imaginary holiday)-via SBS - e.g. Michael Portillo's train journeys+empire narratives
2. Twitter posts for knowledge+inspiration
3. Write poetry
4. Read novels
5. Walk outdoors
More creative ideas...

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.

'I'm not happy. I'm just fed up with feeling miserable.'
Just now cancelled Thursday Christmas lunch at The Heritage, Balnarring with a friend + her daughter. My friend + I agreed that the place is quite popular and therefore the Christmas season is not a good time to be there sadly.

I'm hoping, in that small window of time, I may find some Happy Christmas spirit... replacing the fears that seem to have taken up residence...
Just watched this video...to the end...

It's confronting...
But it reaches out,+offers pandemic realities beyond the political sideshow...
