Meanwhile in Australia

Posted on March 16, 2020 by Gillian Polack

I’ve started today’s blogpost so many times that, in Australia, it’s already Tuesday. I can’t see why anyone would want to hear about the aftermath of bushfires when we’re all doing the COVID-19 thing. I’m at risk for the virus … Continue reading →
