9 Things I Did After Lockdown Ended - Melbourne World’s Longest COVID Lockdown

Описание: 9 Things I could do now that lockdown was over!

Our Lockdown was a total of 262 days over 6 blocks. (That’s about 9 months total!) When in the hardest stage of lockdown here in Melbourne, we could:

Not go more than 5km from home
Not have anyone to our home.
Not gather with anyone who does not live with you (inside or outside)
Only leave the house for 1 hour per day, for shopping, exercise, food, medical or if you’re an essential worker.
Masks worn at all times (inside and outside) except in your home.
Only essential businesses open (groceries, mail, fuel etc), all retail & services closed.
Curfew 9pm to 5am
Schools closed. All students remote schooled from home.

I thought about making a Vlog, but by Lockdown number 6, I was just DONE. Especially because Melbourne seemed to cop the brunt of it, but the rest of the country was living life free of COVID and restrictions. At times I struggled to be positive. I couldn’t look at posts from interstate family on social media. I wanted to be gracious and positive, but often I felt jealous, snarky and bitter.

But I’m choosing to find positive in the experience. We’ve gotten closer as a family, and it really put things into perspective. I had a lot of time to think.

We’ve emerged from our cocoons… what now?!
