Russ and I slept exceptionally well and woke up around 9:30am. Learmonth has turned on very fine weather for our first full day back in Victoria. It is very difficult to get back into the swing of wearing a mask. The check in at each business place is not a hassle as we have been doing that all the time we were in Tassie. They have not become too complacent even though there has not been a case over there for six months. 

This will be the last entry into the diary/blog as we once again embrace our everyday mode. The magpies have been corralling since we arrived, and it is wonderful to listen to them. I even had a possum wander over to my feet to say hello as I was bringing back the washing from the dryer. 

We will print this out and send it off and look forward to catching up with people when we get home.
