Welcome to 2026! I hope this is a good year for everyone, hopefully even better than last year. Try not to fall over folks, it's not fun. 🌞🎈🎉 Coming to you from sunny Australia, that big lump of land under the equator. Sunday Selections will be continuing, hosted by me , participation is optional, if you can't manage every week for any reason, that's okay. Words for Wednesday will also be continuing, hosted by me , and again, participation is optional, play when you can, take a break when you need to. Charlotte will be providing a colour for each month as she did last year, we try to use the colour somewhere in our posts, either photographing something with that colour or using it in another way. This month's colour is Carmine: Isn't that just gorgeous? And why is my text in two different sizes?
I am not even certain that Australians will be able to get home - it assumes that they will find a flight willing and able to take them.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly visitors to Australia may struggle to find a flight home - where ever home is.
Elephant's Child; I hope that all people everywhere are able to get home to be with their families.
ReplyDeleteYes. Hubby does not know if to book the next flight to Perth (will be February, so I ireckon it should be safe?). Crazy times.
ReplyDeleteIris Flavia; I think by next February things will be okay, that's almost a year away.
DeleteCrazy times.
ReplyDeleteWow.
Hugs...ugh, I mean, polite wave from a great distance.
Peace to all.
Sandi; crazy indeed, waves back at you :)
DeleteIt is a day to day world we live in. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteArkansas Patti; day to day even more than before. I'm staying as safe as I can.
DeleteI wish our government would have taken this seriously before the virus had already entered the country. But, don't get me started about the buffoon in the big white house.
ReplyDeleteKathy's Klothesline; I wish all governments had taken it more seriously sooner, particularly with the panic buying at supermarkets. That should have been cracked down on much sooner.
DeleteIf visitors here can get flights. No matter what country you live in, you will want to be home.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; I imagine most people will be trying to get out before the borders close tonight. I hope also people can get home to Aus. before then.
DeleteSo glad I am not an international traveler.
ReplyDeleteBe well.
Joanne; me too, I haven't left Australia since arriving as a baby in 1953. My youngest booked a flight to Bali, paid for the ticket, for a 60th birthday party before all this happened, now he's hoping to get his money back
DeleteNot sure what to say except that i do wish there was a way everyone could get home, wherever it happens to be.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; there are people on cruise ships in limbo as no port will allow them to dock, may are elderly and fast running out of their medications. I hope a helicopter medications drop can be done for them at least.
