What are you cooking?
I now have time to try out a new almond crescent recipe (a big hit), stewing rhubarb, making meals that we have not had for a long time. Special meals from local vendors, either pickup or delivery.
How are you staying fit, both physically and mentally?
By working in the garden which had suffered during the drought and neglected while the fires were happening, reworking some components which may not have happened without the lockdown. Enjoying speaking and emailing friends and fellow members of both Moss Vale Evening CWA and other wider located CWA friends.
What's the one thing keeping you sane?
Accepting that we are in isolation and enjoying the down time. Treating it as an opportunity to do different things.
Are you working from home? If so how's that going, if not what's work like for you now?
Happily retired and enjoying being in the over 70 age group.
What's something positive you've witnessed or experienced since the coronavirus hit?
The smiles from other people when out (a rare occurrence), lovely conversations with friends that I haven't spoken to for sometime.
What have you learned about yourself amid the crisis?
That I really enjoy being at home pottering around, quite happy to be in the garden for hours each day, have made 80 pouches for injured wildlife, veggie bags for shopping, knitting lollipop babies, sewing up trauma dollies - all part of our CWA efforts.
What's your advice for others to cope with the crisis?
Don't suffer in silence reach out to friends, family or support groups.
