April was a nice and relaxed month as we were in self-isolation, here in Sydney. I have only been to the shops for groceries and to visit my parents. I have actually enjoyed having this downtime at home to plod along and do things in my own time. The Easter long weekend was nice; my boyfriend and I spent this time cleaning the house, inside and out and starting the renovations on his house. It has been an exciting time as even just one hole patched or something moved around makes a huge difference in the feeling of the house.
