Thx for your appreciation
We're doing the best we can to 'stay safe' - our local (state/federal) gov't rules for the substantial lockdown for 7-weeks are now being eased, with projections that by end-June we'll be "more or less" back to some sort of normal. End of June means we will have had 3-months of in-home isolation, and massive gov't $$ support to make it work for people. We know that we'll have to pay it back again - probably a 10-year %-levy on top of our income tax. It's a wait-and-see game now
Oz still has 2 or 3 hotspots where numbers are still rising, but overall state numbers for new cases are down to single figures. The other day the Oz + NZ gov't were chatting about opening up international travel between us by Sept ~ but we'll wait and see

Looks spooky enough… Hitchcock style!
Light is free… capturing it is not!
