[Viva] Stay Safe sisters!

[anne bonner]

I'm so glad you are ok and your husband is recovering! Yikes. We had an
outbreak a while ago and hard to know how much is around here. I am being
mostly safe, I only have 2 friends who I see but my partner is a teacher in
Victoria so that's kinda freaky. I just mailed the antibody test in and I'm
interested to see if we had it in March! Feel kinda worried about my mum,
she's 76.

Hang in there pals,

~anne
