Welcome to the 55th blog post! *cheers of excitement flood the room* Hey party people, what's been going on? Well, Covid-19, among the obvious tragic circumstances, has brought to my life a glimmer of hope and perhaps some good; I'm exaggerating, my life is great. It's reignited my passion for photography and my excitement to…
It's official, we have returned home. I'm currently sitting inside our humble abode amongst the hills, wearing some comfy activewear after a workout on the deck. I just ate some overnight oats with mango, as I listen to the sweet 'hold' music that myGov has graciously forced upon me. And when I say myGov, I'm…
