As the pandemic "second wave": rages on in Melbourne, and we are locked down again for the next six weeks. the recommendation is shifting to wearing masks. I have mixed feelings about the mask thing - because scientists don't seem to agree on the benefits, people don't seem to wear masks properly and in some places it seems to have been applied like a panacea. Friends of mine in America put a picture on Facebook of them at a brewery, with their masks around their necks. So many questions about that.
Anyway, my city is locked down again, Daniel Andrews our Premier has said to wear masks and Leon and I will be wearing them, when we can't social distance, which is on my weekly shopping trip. As an aside, I say I go to the shops weekly, but I reckon it's more like three times a week, and we get fruit, vegetables and half out meat delivered. Why am I at the shops so much? Maybe because it's my only adventure.
Since all masks instantly sold out - of course - and I'm crafty I sewed some masks:
I always joke about my yearly sewing project. This year I've sewn twice, once for the bushfire emergencies, and now for the pandemic! I learnt a lot from doing these, not least that I STILL struggle to sew in a straight line. I imagine I'll be making more in the future. Mainly I plan to stay home and knit, cry and hope our infection numbers start trending down.
