Last night the World Health Organisation (WHO) formally, and finally, announced that we are in a state of Pandemic.
Italy has closed its doors and is in a state of total quarantine. The only way to visit now is virtually - via the web.
Iran is a complete mess. The virus is spreading madly over there.
Australia will be announcing a few new protocols fairly soon, with an overnight increase form 65 to 77 cases in NSW alone.
Panic buying and hoarding continue unabated here in the Great Southern Land.

Autumn arrived with a bang this week. Last week we were 36+ degrees Celsius. This week we are lucky to see 27 degrees C.
With the help of a friend and their ride on mower, I am slowly getting on top of the sudden growth of grass and weeds here on the farm, while also dealing with sick sheep.
We have a cyclone off the coast, so these few days of sunshine are a nice respite from the rain that is due to arrive once again this weekend.
I am starting my veggie patch today in my small greenhouse, as well as some cottage garden flowers for one small corner of my little enclosed garden, now that I have a safe haven away from the farm animals and prying eyes of neighbours.
With all the dramas going on in the world, I am very glad I have this little square garden, with its tall colourbond fencing, off my back verandah. My little bit of private oasis away from the world.
