28th March, 2021….one year on

A little over one year ago today, we (kiwis) all went into Lockdown for the first time….

Maybe it is because we have had the time to focus on the world around us (without rushing off to foreign exotic places) that we have experienced, or noticed, more in 12 months than we would have done otherwise. Except if you’re a dog, life goes on as usual….eat….sleep….and more of my humans time!

For me, it’s been a year of…

Work….I was lucky enough to keep my job

Kindness…from strangers and my good friends

Unkindness..from those you “thought” were friends…,but strange times brings out strange behaviour in some.

Heartbreak..,again as another family member passed away

Isolation and isolated…working from home or staying at home

Blessings….granbaby, graduation, and wedding celebrations

Sold a house, bought a house, and didn’t buy a house ….

Sold a car, bought a car.

Loaned more, borrowed more and gave some away!

Road Trip, bike trips, traffic jams, no traffic.

Happy family, unhappy family, the sadness comes in waves!

Three generations of this branch of the Bonnici Clan, Granma Sue, Dad(Jax) and Tyler Russell! Scrubbing up for a wedding last weekend (it was a big job for the oldest member).

Actually last week saw two visits to the city centre for this old gal..usually a once a year excursion…the wedding occasion above and…

George and I shared Ovin’s graduation day….(Ovin being George’s longest standing friend from primary school)

Then a Pie and a pint at O’hagans on the viaduct! (not shared as this was only the 3rd meal of the day). A lovely afternoon at an Irish pub in the middle of America’s cup racing finales! The next day was St Patrick’s day and NZ took out the America’s cup, so it was fortuitous that our city visit was the day before!
