March

We got some dirt and some lawn! 3 tonnes of dirt precisely. So we shovelled 3 tonnes a wheelbarrow at a time from the side street, down the lane and into ours.

Voila the result! Laid by ourselves.

We didn't read the instructions to flatten the soil right down, so now it's settled and lumpy. A bit more soil and a roller will fix it.

More good times of summer.

And then the Corona virus hit. All the real idiots of the world cleared the place out of toilet paper. It wasn't like they would stop making it.

I personally figured I could wet some cloth and use that.

Some guy in Adelaide even bought about $10,000 worth, plus sanitiser, then tried to return it once he figured he couldn't sell it once the shelves got restocked. The supermarket wouldn't give them a refund for their $10K.

Stuff like flour, eggs, milk, all in short supply. You could only buy two fake milks at a time. They had to ration the things to stop selfish aholes stockpiling. Wonder what they did with it all in the end.

This image was sent to friends to say where you could get decent supplies of fruit, vegetables, and dried beans (good for apocalypses).

Everyone had to stay in their homes, work from home. The skies were blue; there were very few cars on the road. Marie couldn't even visit her mum.

While we were in lock down, we adopted a cat! Her name is Sumi, which means "elegant" in Japanese. She is elegant, and very playful. She follows Marie around like a dog. Shes' a great cat.

She loves heights: it was her safe place at the last home; she could get away from the little kids this way.
