Getting back to business

The term has started and life is starting to get back to normal. Work is busy and Covid-19 is strongly with us in the community. I have been trying to keep my head down and just catching up casually with friends, limiting my contact.

I had a head cold over a week ago and got a bit worried I got Covid-19. I had an antigen (RAT) test and it was negative. I was unwell for a couple days but I’m a lot better. So many of my friends and family have Covid-19 and people are struggling with everyday life.

I’m looking forward to a break in around a month in the Coromandel. I’m planning to go away with friends for 4 days to be tourists and visit the sites. It will be good to catch up with the friend Andrew again. I stayed with him after Christmas for a couple days and readily enjoyed it.

More to come next month with the end of term and Easter break. I can’t believe how fast time is flying.

 New Horizons - End of 2021 and 2022

Well I haven't blogged for a while so I thought I would put some thoughts down to reflect on the the last 2 years. With Covid-19 dominating the scene for 2020 and 2021 it has been a time of uncertainty.  I haven't enjoyed lockdowns generally but I have understood their purpose. Life goes on and with Mum's death in July 2021 and my life has changed. I am reminded how precious life is and spending time with friends and family more a priority. 

On the work front I have enjoyed my fixed-term management duties in Science in 2020/2021 and I have learning much about working with people. I look forward to the new challenges 2022 will bring with my new Chemistry management position. (a little nervous as this is permanent)

I'm looking forward to the break ahead and spending time with friends and family over the next little while. I will try and blog more in 2022 and reflect on what has been.
