My husband and I are both teachers. He is full-time and I am mostly casual.
We have both had work the whole time the Covid-19 virus has been affecting NSW and so our 3 kids have also been going to school. It is hard for them, they are at school but most or their friends are not. It has been good for them to get out of the house though.
We have all felt very safe in our area of SW Sydney. We were all at home for the 2.5 weeks of school holidays. We are blessed with a big house and a yard of 3/4 acre with beautiful big trees and lots of space. It was not hard to be home.
After living in Tanzania for the last 4.5 years, we are used to being a family, amusing ourselves, playing games together and being creative with our time. For us, the whole situation has not been too bad. We do miss seeing friends and family and being able to be hospitable in our home. Normally we love to invite people over and share meals together.
We reached out to our local community by starting a FB page. Not many have been in need around us though. We really enjoyed joining with the community in celebrating ANZAC day at the end of our drive. It was eerie, beautiful all at the same time. W
e love doing church services via Zoom. People are interviewed about their lives and we get further into their story than we do over the usual cup of tea after the service. We have had many 'positives'.
