Okay. Who knew my previous post on rapid antigen tests would do so well. 😅 So while riding this brief increase in traffic, I’ll follow it up with posts describing the theory behind a COVID-19 PCR test. But given how large a topic this is, I’ve broken it up into […]

First post of 2022 is a hot topic at the moment, given their scarcity during this current Omicron wave here in Australia. If you’re lucky enough to have access to one of these tests, here’s a post to show you how it actually works (i.e. the theory behind it). If […]

It’s that time of year again when I write a reflective piece on the year that was. But… has it really been a year since the last one? Well- not exactly. The last one was posted on the 30th of December 2020, so I still have a week or so […]

Well, it’s almost November (and the end of the year). Where did the year go?? 😱 Since my previous garden post, the snow peas have gone crazy… And the broccoli have sort of mostly bolted. There’s still some edible stalks left, but the weather’s been so unstable (typical) that it’s […]

Yesterday was my first day back at work since our tearoom became a Tier 1/2 exposure site and people had to isolate at home. I missed it all because I was fortunately on leave. We’re now wearing N95/P2 masks while at work, and bloody hell- mad respect for all the […]

Well- we’re still in lockdown, and I’m still on annual leave. 🥳 Which means it’s time to do some culinary experimentation!! And do other hobby activities, like editing that story I was writing back in June last year… or going for a walk… And enjoying the earth rumble beneath me- […]
