Enjoy the beautiful weather and your back yard and garden. Maybe do some weeding, maybe not.
Get in touch with family and friends, the elderly and those on their own. Better now than maybe being sorry later.
Bake recipes and biscuits you have been meaning to try, no visitors so if they don`t turn out right, who cares.
Feed the birds and fill the birdbath, the bees love it too. then sit back and watch them. Do some reading, especially travel, if you have had to cancel some holidays.
No gym, no need, just try chasing the cabbage moth off your seedlings daily.
Amuse any neighbours that may see you doing the above.
Wash hands. Give one other some space sometimes.
Those on your own enjoy the serenity.
Change the furniture around if possible or even just the cushions. Now I know I am bored.
Do housework, clean fridge and pantry etc.
Above all be tolerant, kind and patient, take care, love one another, and to all stay safe and keep a good sense of humour.
PS, A big happy birthday to Connor Ibbs in lockdown xxxxxx.

Duck season and coronavirus
Hang on.
Shouldn't duck season be canceled now that we are in more severe restrictions with Coronavirus?
Have country towns got enough police to enforce the rules around public gatherings?
Surely it cannot keep going now that rules around groups and outdoor activities are in place.
Bit unfair if more humane activities are banned but animal cruelty is still allowed.
Surely it's not an essential service.

Coliban query
There seems to be a lot of big companies trying to make life a little bit easier now.
I think growing home vegetables is so important now Coliban Water should be providing the average water usage for a residence free then be charged for water over that limit.
Coliban Water collects most of its income from the service fees anyway.
Just a thought.
