It's official: we're out of our isolation period. @new.things is on the mend and starting to run again, and I tested negative and so was allowed to leave the house when his 7 days ended. That was this morning. Such a delight! I got the tiniest sense of what some people must feel like when they come out of jail after being there for years: vulnerable.

Yet, it was simultaneously wonderful, if for no other reason than we could run our own errands. Oh, and go for a walk in our beautiful chunk of bush.

Dear Nature Area, I missed you. I missed the scribbles on your biggest trees. I missed the many meandering trails. And I missed the lizards, soaking up sun, in unexpected places :)

(Photos by @new.things while I "supervised" :P)

I just finished a 4.02km walking that lasted about 0hh:55mm:15ss !

what is happening with that tree??? I love trees. I love the pattern that is made on their bark and especially their root systems. I love driftwood and the grain and the shapes. Why are trees just so cool?

Congrats jailbird! I am glad you get to go out and live again. It is amazing our appreciation for the outside when we have been locked within!

This, my dear, is called a "Scribbly Gum". It's a kind of Eucalyptus tree that has some weird and wonderful kind of relationship with a grub of some kind that chews away at the bark and makes "scribbles" 😂🤩😍😄 Cool, ey?

Why are trees just so cool?

No idea! But I feel the same way. Super cool. 😎😋😊

Congrats jailbird!

You crack me up, girl! 😅🤣😁 !LOL

I'm reading a book called Anti-climax.
The first part was good.

That's great news, welcome to the world again. Being isolated is not so good even for our health.
I was at home through out yesterday and I felt so sick so I know how it is for one to be isolated, please do have another walk today.

Thanks for your kind words and wishes @hopestylist 🙏❤️

I do wish that our governments had chosen different words for this experience of distancing from others. I really think that just thinking about being "isolated" causes so much anxiety and/or depression for people that just make us feel worse not better. So few people yet understand how massively our mental well being affects our physical well being. I do hope you're doing okay 🤗❣️

Good news, we went to a community run this morning. So while we stayed as far from others as we could in this context, we were still outside and surrounded by other people. It was definitely good for our mental health. But I think the bodies need to hide inside for the rest of the day and recuperate now 😅

Yay! Glad to hear you've been "sprung" from quarantine. We're in the midst of it ourselves - my husband developed a fever late Saturday & tested positive on Monday (and our youngest, 21, did as well on Tuesday). I consider ourselves very lucky that it's been relatively okay to manage so far. Hope you enjoy your freedom & sending continued well wishes to you both. 🤗

It's a bit crazy, hey? We're not allowed to leave our home. Lucky for us we have a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig house and a really big yard (for a suburban property). I feel for people who live in the city and only have a one bedroom or studio apartment.

What on earth is EXHAUST?

Hahaha. Yep, @new.things is looking for great photos every day, so we walk at a reasonable pace and then we get "rest breaks" for photos 😅😅😅

EXHAUST is a front end interface, somewhat like LeoFinance (I think?!) or Ecency or Peakd: You create an account and add your post on there and then it transmits it to the blockchain.

xhaust.me is where you'll find it. It's useful if you're someone who does regular exercise that you record on a device of some kind (but probably not if you already use Actifit which I think is it's main competitor right now).
