What a week. I'm feeling utterly shattered as I write this - between lockdowns and my face being smashed with a rake, and elbow tendonitis, I'm a bit of a mess. But it's totally divine this afternoon listening to reggae in the sunshine and pottering in the garden, waiting for my man to arrive home so we can have a few beers together in the sunshine. I'm missing my HIVE crew a little, so thought I'd do a little rambling post to say g'day. So, lockdown - was meant to be a snap 7 day lockdown, so we all went home and screamed, got organised for a week's remote teaching with the view that it would probably go for at least two weeks. Jamie and I got to work on pulling apart the 2A Landrover, which was a mission - took us four days to pull it apart, box up the various parts and hang the panels in the shed in some kind of order. Got to Monday and we were kinda stoked we were looking at a fortnight at home so we could get some projects done - in fact, I've never looked forward to a lockdown so much. And Monday was fine, too, as I snuck down for a surf, breaking the 5km rule, and enjoying the ocean at sunrise - my favourite time of the day. Things felt better. Being regional, I was hardly going to bump into anyone and infect them with anything, let alone the bloody virus, so I felt *good* that no one actually cared I'd broken the law to go surfing. A girl's gotta do what a girls gotta do. But about 11am, our state premier did an about face, meaning we had to go back to school and resume our lifes pre this lockdown, whilst Melbourne stayed locked up. Flippety flippets, this game is doing our heads in. People are very, very over this. <center>  </center> Anyway, exhausted, we tootled off to work, but within two days I was feeling absolutely shite. The tendonitis in my elbow has got worse, meaning typing is pretty tricky as it *hurts* - hence, no daily HIVE posts for me for a while. I've been doing a few exercises to help and to strengthen my wrists and hands. It's feeling marginally better today, hence whilst I thought I'd brave a quick hello here. Also, goddamn hayfever season seems to have started early - I'm aching *all over* - menopause apparently can bring on hayfever, in case it wasn't screwing with you enough. So I'm dosing up on that lovely fermented honey I made a few months back, and drinking a lot of smoothies with fresh turmeric and limes (my citrus trees are positively dripping with fruit at the moment and the August winds are throwing them around the garden). <center>  </center> I was pretty happy when Friday came around, as I only work one period, long enough to see this little guy arrive on the windowsill of the office. He's a tawny frogmouth and my absolute favourite owl, which is actually a nightjar, but let's not be pedantic. Off to Bunnings (Australian national hardware store icon) to get a rake, as I had lost mine somewhere in the garden and had been searching for it for two weeks. Lean said rake up against the trolley whilst I run to get some seed raising mix, and when I get back I stand on said rake and smash myself in the face so hard I see stars. Hoping no one saw me and trying not to collapse on the floor, my eyes streaming with tears and trying hard not to let out a big POO BUM FUCK OUCH, I got out of there and headed home to cry. After a cuppa I headed down to the greenhouse only to find the rake I'd lost. Well done, River. Well done. <center> https://media.giphy.com/media/P35yYoDTcXwA/giphy.gif </center> Lovely afternoon spent weeding round the fruit trees and mulching them, picking ashwagandha berries to collect their seed, observing the new spring buds and flowers and mowing the front lawn. <div class="pull-left"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riverflows/23zS9kUoa3zaEvjAjLY1GD5FwgnDbTnvRJZambjeChMYwSkdvM4AmzdMiUxhPpmC97xDa.png </div> <div class="pull-right"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riverflows/23vsSmcuBKXcsCMB5iGZbquDAQyuLf6D5w5v7EioMoimUAZgWiSP65hpwY1jetFstcSHd.png </div> <hr> Divinity is a garden in Spring, right? Hope your week was awesome - and didn't involve injuries, hayfever or lockdowns. <center> # `With Love,`  **Are you on HIVE yet? Earn for writing!
