NSW, TravelLeave a Comment on Shoalhaven

Crystal clear waters, beautiful scenary, emerging food and wine scene, lush green vineyards… Shoalhaven is the destination to be for any food and nature lover. I recently spent a weekend in the South Coast of NSW and boy could I not get enough. From the beachside picnic amongst white sand in Jervis Bay to the…

2020 really has not been off to a great start. With everything looking a bit grim for the past few months, if I'm being completely honest with you, I do find myself living in constant despair and helplessness, always worrying about one thing or another, from bushfires to drought to covid-19.. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But I suppose that is just part of life? As Oscar Wilde said, "It takes great courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it." The world is not perfect and nor should it strive to be. The only thing that we can and should do is to do our bit and stay hopeful.⁣⁣ ⁣ While it is true that our dam levels have increased drastically, it doesn't mean we should stop conserving water in our everyday life. I've always been a firm believer that prevention is better than cure. And if you think a small action like turning off the tap when you brush your teeth is insignificant, just bare in mind that that's 4L of water per minute wasted. I'll let you do the math on how much water that is if every single person in Sydney were to leave the tap running for just one minute, twice a day, everyday. And now think of the water used in the shower, in the kitchen, in your backyard. All those little tips and tricks that you guys have shared to save water? Don't just do it when our dam levels are at 40%. Do it now. Do it everyday. Let's commit to all those little changes and let them become part of our everyday lives, and empower each other to do the same. 💙⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #workingwithsydneywater #ManyWaysToSave⁣⁣
Social distancing // What has #stayhomestaysafe been looking like for you? Have you been productive or just chilling? For me I've been really enjoying down time on the days I'm not working lazing around at home watching Netflix, eating (omg so much eating), and connecting with friends and family on social media! Want to pick up Spanish again as well but that hasn't happened yet. If you guys know of any good online language courses please let me know! 📝
Walk towards the good in life and one day you will arrive. This too, shall pass. 🌱
I work at a community pharmacy. At work today, a patient came in asking for a Ventolin puffer, saying their doctor instructed them to get it and took out their phone to show us the text messages from doctor as proof. What we also saw on the phone screen, however, were the words, "you need to go into self isolation." ⁣ ⁣ Yet there this person was. Standing in front of my colleagues and I. Inside the pharmacy. ⁣ ⁣ This person did wear a face mask, but took it off a few times while browsing the store. ⁣ ⁣ I guess I just want to say that, guys, please, if you're in self isolation, that means you should stay home. If you need something urgently like medication, ring ahead and try to perhaps organise a contactless delivery instead. Or maybe get a friend to pick up and drop off for you. ⁣ ⁣ I don't know the circumstances of this person, whether they're a confirmed covid-19 case, or if they have been in close contact with a confirmed case, or if they've recently returned from overseas. Whether or not they understand the meaning of the term "self-isolation" or the gravity and social responsibilities that come with that term. Whether they think this is "just a flu." I have no idea. All I know is that I'm scared. Honestly. Crapping-my-pants scared. As seen in the past few weeks, from Spring breakers in Florida to beach goers in Bondi, it is evident that some people just still aren't taking this pandemic seriously. If we continue to approach covid-19 like it's some kind of joke, we really don't stand a chance at all. This too will past, yes. But that won't happen until many lives are lost. Unnecessarily lost. ⁣ ⁣ Simply put, our only chance at surviving this pandemic is by flattening the curve. That means we need to slow the spread of the virus and decrease the number of people sick with it at any given time. Otherwise, our healthcare system, ICU's in particular, will be overwhelmed. What does an overwhelmed healthcare system look like, you ask? Look no further than the horrifying stories unfolding in Italy, where doctors are forced to make impossible decisions like whom to save and whom to leave to die. ...to continue in comments
When you over order but you're doing it to support a business in bushfire- affected regions so it's okay? 🤔 Good feed with good company on our #emptyesky roadtrip the past weekend!
Maybe you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light ✧
