As I write this, the sun has come out after all the heavy rain we’ve experienced over the last few days. I hope you are all safe and your homes are dry. My suburb has experienced rainfall in some parts of up to 150mm.
What a turbulent time it has been, but now we have no QR codes, mask wearing is reduced and venues can open for more patrons. It’s still important to wear a mask if you are vulnerable and social distance where you can.
