I can understand why some may not like the ABC, but my primary source of information during the busy days is their Covid Live Update Blog.

There's no personal commentary, just reporting of events as they occur such as press conferences etc. I find it to be the most up to date summary of major events.


On a completely different note, today has been a bit bittersweet for me. After over 18 years, today I am formally a single person again. In some ways it doesn't bother me, as it is really just a formalisation of where I've been for the last two and a bit years, but in other ways it makes me sad; sad that our relationship ended up where it did, sad that I wasn't able to prevent where we ended up, sad that my ex felt she had no other option than to end our relationship, sad that we weren't able to provide our daughter with a 'normal' parental arrangement.

My daughter is with her mum this week, so it's just me and the dog. Went for a run as it's good for both body and soul and then I got fish and chips for tea coz I CBF'd making dinner, and, even though I very rarely drink alcohol, I made myself a southern and coke and 'celebrated' with the dog. Not sure I would have done much different even if we weren't in lockdown.

Not sure why, but I haven't even told any of my family or friends about the divorce happening today.

Oh, and of course, I then jumped onto AFF to see what trouble and strife has been caused this evening.

Thanks to you guys and girls who, mostly unknowingly, help keep me sane.

Stay well all.
