Welcome to this week’s coffee catch up. It’s an evening cuppa, after another full day and while Basil watches motorbike racing, I’m outside listening to the sounds of campers settling into their evenings. Night creatures are about and birds still chatter. It’s been a warm day in Kununurra, Western Australia but it has cooled off…
13th February we left home heading to Adelaide (South Australia) and then west. Today marks 100 days on the road and 8, 000 kms. We’d like to say we’ve been travelling most of that time but COVID-19 had us bunkered down in Busselton, Western Australia, for seven weeks. We held our breath, used hand sanitizer…
I signed up for this year’s challenge in the hope it would motivate me to more regular writing. With a number of posts written in March and scheduled for the April A-Z Challenge, it was an encouraging start. Planning was going well. Then COVID-19 hit close to home with state borders closing which ejected us…
We’re starting to see a slackening of restrictions and pondering next moves. There’s an excitement around the campground.

The population is most concentrated in the state’s capital city of Perth. When state borders closed in the first week of April we became temporary residents of WA until…
In the space of four months we speak and go about our lives in new and different ways. Take how our vocabulary has received a booster shot gratis of COVID-19, and how miraculous amounts of cash have materialised from .. where? Where were these billions stashed when overworked health systems were screaming for more staff…
This is the twentieth post in a month of blogging through the alphabet. I’ve joined bloggers from around the world for April as we write a post 6/7 days each week throughout the month. If I buried a time capsule today these few items will paint a picture of how our world was on this…
How we live today predicts our tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and when the tomorrows pile up we have a bunch of memories that will make up this twelve-month time capsule forever remembered as … what? How we remember these times depends on how we’ve lived during these times. It is important for me to…
The time it has taken to come full circle and back to Q for Quotes has been interesting especially when it started out as a Q is for the Questions I have about Our Way out of this Global Pandemic. Now I see that is more a journal entry until I am able to unpack…
