WINTER DRAGS ON

Today in Victoria, we've had our worst day so far in terms of the COVID-19 pandemic: The state notched up a record 532 new infections on Monday, along with six new deaths – five of them connected to aged-care outbreaks. Some 245 people are in hospital, including 44 in intensive care.

The lockdown and compulsory mask wearing by everyone, as well as the bans on travel, public gatherings and limiting very much the reasons why one may leave one's house has made most people quite depressed - aided and abetted by the wintry weather...

  3. Oh dear. It is depressing to think that something so small has had such a profound impact on the world. I know that I am much more capable of dealing with this during the summer than I was when it started at the tail-end of our winter. I hope that preparing this beautiful mosaic gave you some diversion, and that it helps others at Mosaic Monday.

  4. Great collage! Our lockdown at least happened in warm weather so I could walk in the yard and drive around. It could very well worsen by winter though. Yes, it is depressing.
