Hello

Back in March, during Australia’s initial lockdown, we were confined to our suburbs and would only leave the house for a few reasons: exercise, work, school, groceries and maybe caretaking.  Brisbane has not re-entered lockdown, but our Melbourne friends have.

It was an eerie time, back then.   But I also realised today, while out walking, that during that time, we as a neighbourhood went out of our way to say hello to each other.  And, ironically, we saw our neighbours more often then, than we do now.

It was an odd positive out of a negative, which we’ve lost again.
