The year of 2020 started well with a trip up to the north coast with friends and family. Meanwhile the fires have still been raging in Australia and we are sweltering in the heat. Thank goodness for air conditioning. Teachers and students returned to school this week yet I have decided to take time off from teaching for awhile longer and continue working on my blog and de-cluttering my home.
