And just to top it all off I'm a casual contact from a flying visit to my local supermarket with my boy (prior to one person rule) 😭
Off for a test tomorrow morning and to isolate...

Haha I actually laughed @saltandpepper thank you. I say that too, "feel it in my bones" 😁
Gosh I hope so 🤞🙏💙
Thinking of you tonight and hoping you are ok my dear friend. Off to check on my boy. He should have been in the Gold Coast now with his support worker, living it up. His headspace has not been good last few days with lockdown and now with the need for a test he needs some love.
Night 😘

Well the Gold Coast is a pretty magical place, no doubt it'll lift his spirits. Love the gold coast. The one place I'd consider moving to. Tell ya boy to look up Kookoo the restaurant while he's there. I went there, chefs come out and cook up your meal in front of you. The chef when I went was fu*king awesome. He was funny and kind of a c*** your son might like him haha. He was dishing up some egg or something and he was flicking it from the bench to our plates, and then he flicked a bunch in some poor girls face. She did not look impressed, but not gonna lie, I still laugh when I think about it haha

A little manic actually, no doubt anxiety.
We had a cuppa tea and a.nice chat. He settled. I tucked him in and he fell fast asleep. Was nice to have that time with him @saltandpepper
I love the Gold Coast. Would move except for my parents. Suggested they come. Think they would have but then Dad got sick. Never say never. Actually want to buy a camper and travel eventually, no fixed address but base in Gold Coast...oh to dream hey.
Where have you been to in Oz?
