2020 In Review

Hoo boy, here we go.

[Ok just before I begin. I had this queued to post in the first month of January but it doesn’t seem like that ever happened haha. Better late than never I suppose!]

So I am a nostalgic bitch, and since 2011, have loved to make memory boxes for each year, where I put trinkets and memories into a shoebox. This year I have continued that tradition, but I have also kept track of my happy memories throughout 2020 in my planner. This was done with the intention for me to upload a year-in-review sort of thing in hopes that maybe like, 3 people max on this god-forsaken site will read it. This sort of reminiscence was inspired by my friend @a-lbeit, who has done these for a few years now and me, as a slut for nostalgia, was encouraged to do the same back in January (I think? What even is my memory at this point?)

2020, as it has been for many, was a very shit year, and I am no different. I would safely say that this year has undeniably been the worst I have lived through. But I am here. I am present. And I have made it through some of the darkest times to face 2021 with a new sense of hopefulness. Keeping track of my happier memories has been something that has truly got me through this clusterfuck of a year, so I am glad that I can finally go through them all again and share them with you.

Read it, or don’t, I don’t give a shit what you do with your time, but if you do, I hope that you aren’t bored to tears. And I hope to keep myself accountable to continue to do this for years to come.

Buckle up, grab a hot drink and a snack and get comfy, because this is a JOURNEY.

January:

· Kicked the new year off with hosting a 1920’s themed party with some of my closest friends at my family home at the beach. Had fun with drunk SingStar, playing What Do You Meme, creating a playlist with everyone’s top 3 songs of the decade (it was a bangin’ playlist I must say), and just overall drinking too much and having a riotous time

· I remember going to the beach New Year’s Day (as is tradition in Australia) and playing ultimate frisbee in the shallows and completing a crossword puzzle on the sand (I am a 75-year-old woman, it is just a fact of life)

· I also had my friend Kirsten from South Australia stay with me for the New Year’s period and it was lovely to have a guest over! I haven’t spoken to her much this year, she sort of fell off the face of the planet, but I hope she is doing ok.

· Went town to Torquay (a beach town in Victoria) for the 6th time for Beach Mission, which is essentially a holiday program for kids in preschool-year 9 where we run activities for them. It’s a Christian-based program but the aim isn’t to convert the kids or anything like that, it’s more to show God’s love to them through our actions and how we as Christians live our lives. It’s also a convenient way for parents to dish their kids off for a few hours too haha. This was my final year of being a part of this program, and I am so pleased to have made so many memories and (hopefully) impacted many children’s lives during my time there

· I remember going on a late-night beach walk with my boyfriend Josh, talking about what the year had in store for us. We were just sitting on the beach, as you do, and I saw a shooting star. I can’t remember what I wished for (if anything) but in that moment, life was a dream.

· The week after beach mission I started at my new internship! It was for a place called KidsCo, who run school holiday programs at workplaces, so parents don’t need to take time off work to look after them. I helped with client relations and a lot of behind-the scenes stuff. I really loved it there

· On the very first day of my internship I remember there was torrential rain, and the train home was delayed by like, an hour or so lol

· One of the best parts about interning at KidsCo was that they were the official child-minding service for the Australian Open. I make an effort to go each year, but I was lucky enough to get free ground-entry for me and a guest for the duration of the event. I went quite a few times and got to take my mum and Josh along as well.

· Saw my only concert of the year, The Veronicas, at the Australian Open. When I say the moment the violin riff at the start of Untouched absolutely went the fuck off is an understatement. Grade 5 me would have cried (and 23 year old me did a little bit too tbh.) Yet another of one of my “all-time-favourite-songs” that I’ve had the pleasure of hearing live. (I also went through the year feeling sad that this was the first time in 11 years I hadn’t gone to a concert, but this one certainly fell through the cracks)

· Started planning my trip to the UK to see my twin sister, and best friend, Jess

· Went away to Rye for the Australia Day weekend #changethedate. An excellent time with excellent mates, and went to the beach pretty much every day and got mindlessly sloshed every night

· Listened to the Triple J Hottest 100. I think 4 of my picks made it in, which was pretty good

· Continued my job as the office manager/events coordinator at my church

February:

Basketball started back after the summer break for my two different teams, The Vikings and The Wildcats (honestly such a highlight of this year with how the rest of it ended up going)

As a team-bonding activity at KidsCo we hired a boat for a few hours and I got more drunk that I had been for a while. It was a very fun time jetting down the Yarra, waving drunkedly at the people jogging by

For Valentine’s day Josh and I had an indoor picnic with our favourite food! The weather was shit for Feb, hence the indoor nature of the picnic

Saw Shrek the Musical with two of my closest pals, Bec and Katie (I honestly forgot that this happened in 2020 hahaha) but it was ICONIC

Had a Jackbox night with The Boys

Had my cousin Amy from England over for dinner! I hadn’t seen her in 5 or 6 years, so it was so lovely to connect again like no time had passed at all

Went to Healesville Sanctuary, a lovely conservation park which focuses on preserving and educating its visitors about Australian animals, with Amy

Went to mini-golf for a friend’s birthday on the leap day. He technically celebrated his 6th birthday which was excellent

Saw Cody Ko and Noel Miller live with Bec and Katie

Finished working at the church office to make room for the potential job opportunity at KidsCo

March:

Ahhh March, you shitstorm of a month. This is where everything started going downhill.

The first thing of note that happened this month was me injuring my ankle at basketball, which had me out of action for a few weeks. It was especially bad because I was nearing the end of my internship and was hoping to do my best work so that I would be chosen to stay on as an employee, but had to take a week or so off to rest my ankle. My ankle would continue to be tender and sore for most of the rest of the year

Went away for the Labour Day long weekend with the family

Finished up my internship at KidsCo. Honestly was lead to believe that I would be staying on as an employee and felt sort of betrayed after all the work I did for them, but whatever

Had a party at Bec’s house to listen to Triple J’s Hottest 100 of the Decade. One of my favourite songs was number 1 which was a pleasant surprise

Went down to the holiday house for a few days just to have so me time and sort myself out

Animal Crossing New Horizons came out haha. Honestly was one of the highlights of this year though. I stayed up until midnight so I could download it as soon as it was available because that’s the sort of person I am

Mum’s birthday dinner with Dani, one of my best friends, and her girlfriend Amy

Went for a hike at Sugarloaf Reservoir with Josh and got spooked by a mob of kangaroos

April:

My mental health started really taking a downward spiral this month for multiple reasons which I won’t get into here, but this is more a note to my past self to say that it will all be ok I guess? Idk I just felt like this needed to be here

Did my ankle badly again on Good Friday

Watched the Overwatch League live with my friends and just memed in the livechat lmao

WARNING - this is a bit TMI but I am going to share anyway since it was a big part of this year, and if you are reading this you are either a stranger or a good friend so I really don’t care lmao: This month I also started to get bad pains in my uterus, like, not period pains but deep, stabbing pains. This continued on for the next few weeks without me doing anything about it, except for increasingly getting stressed about it, although I will talk a bit more about this later.

Josh and I celebrated our 6th year together which was ~wholesome~

Called my friend Ashley from the US and just caught up. It was nice to see her face again. She is a good egg. I haven’t talked to her since but I really hope she’s ok.

May:

Watched Star Wars with Josh and his family for “May the 4th”

Started a volunteer job at Kivuli, a non-for-prophet that is based in Kenya, and started helping out with their website and social media stuff

Zoom movie time with my friends, we watched How To Train Your Dragon I think? Athough everyone was talking over the movie so I didn’t really get anything out of it

Played Scattergories (one of my favourite games) with Bec and Jess on zoom and just wrote really stupid and funny answers and I remember this being just what I needed

Went for a long walk with mum and one of her friends and her daughter on a track we don’t usually go on, which was a nice change of scenery

Went down to the holiday house for the first time in forever since restrictions were eased, at least for a little while lol, with the fam

Went to Portsea for a walk along the beach with Bec and her husband Trevor

Did an online trivia night that night with a big bunch of friends

Had a doctor’s appointment to see what was goin’ on down there. Honestly freaked that it could be something REALLY bad. Got booked in to have an ultrasound the next week, so at least I’d be finding out what was wrong soon.

The day after I got my results was the 21st of May, the day my mum and I were meant to be flying out to the UK to see my sister and her boyfriend. It was already hard enough a month or so before when I had to cancel my flight, but this day was so SO difficult. I can’t remember the last time I cried so hard. I am so blessed to have a boyfriend like Josh though. He was by my side the whole day, and held me as I cried. Oh man I am crying as I write this now, it was such a hard time but I know I will see my sister again.

And then the day after THAT whole ordeal was my birthday, which was meant to be spent in London with Jess but it turned out to be the first birthday we’ve had apart. This day was also hard, but made better by being with loved ones and having dinner at my grandma and grandpa’s house. Grandma’s roast potatoes make everything better.

Went to Geelong to see the other side of my family, it was so good to see my nan again. I love her very much.

Went to the Briars with Bec and went on a lovely nature walk and saw a lot of little wallabies and even an emu

Had an ultrasound and my pain turned out to be a 10cm wide cyst!!! So fun!!!!! Thank the heavens it wasn’t a child. I was so relieved. It is still in my body so that’s cute tho.

June:

Applied for a bunch of jobs, and even got a few interviews! Still no job.

The absolute highlight of this month, and maybe even the whole year, was going away to Lake’s Entrance and Yarram with mum, dad and Josh. It was so good to go to the country, I love country towns so much and the wildlife and nature is so beautiful in the eastern part of Victoria. If you ever get the opportunity I recommend going there!

We ate so much nice food and just relaxed. It wasn’t a perfect replacement for not going to Europe, but it was something at least.

Did more work for Kivuli which kept me busy

Went to Bec’s house to bake a cake. She came out to me as bi this day too, and the cake was coloured like the bisexual flag!

Started a short course through the university I went to in Facebook for Business. It was a great way to build up my skills.

Played Animal Crossing with Dani’s little sister, Tami, a very wholesome time

Looked after Josh’s dog Jed while his family went away for the weekend (also went into the start of July) and was honestly the greatest time

July:

Halfway through the year. Thank fuck.

Had another job interview

Went on lots of walks

Was just generally cold

Did a lot of cleaning

Painted the downstairs rooms at church, which took a few days and a lot of back pain, but it’s cool to think that I was able to contribute my energy and time to something while I was not feeling good at all

The restrictions were tightened again, meaning that I couldn’t go further than 5kms away from my house, except to see Josh, so this was a really lonely time for me.

Really got into Masterchef with mum this season. They had all returning contestants from other seasons so that was really fun to watch.

Got and assembled a new couch upstairs that I can say I actually own myself. I absolutely love it.

More walks, despite the cold

This was a very uneventful month, but that’s ok!

August:

Had a call with the hospital I’ll be having my cyst surgery with. It was good to know that things would be started. I had to have a blood test and a second ultrasound then put on the waiting list for surgery. Still no sign on when that will be happening though 6 months later. Just so lucky to live in Australia where all of these appointments are free.

Went for a really nice long walk with Josh. Got shat on by a bird.

Did lots of stuff around the house, just tidying and watering the plants and sorting through my wardrobe to purge all the clothes I grew out of

Had an online Switch games night with some friends which was fun. We played Smash Bros. and Mario Kart and just had a great time!

Ok this sounds super lame but my favourite podcast, The Jenna & Julien Podcast, finished forever which came as a surprise and was just really sad. I really hope it comes back one day.

Did my tax return lmao

Baked rice puff/marshmallow bar things

Made an ASOS order to fill my happiness with material things. Did get some cute clothes and lingerie tho 😉

More games with Bec and Jess, we played Golf With Your Friends this time

Had a cocktail night with Josh, where we just made a bunch of fun cocktails and got drunk. I can’t wait to live with him so we can do this all the time.

Lots of Kivuli work, as we are planning for our 10th anniversary fundraising event

September:

Baked cookies, which was something I did a lot at the start of lockdown but sort of drifted away from. I absolutely love to bake.

Started working for Media-Wize, a small PR company that was started by someone I know at church.

Started playing Among Us at the start of the month

So many Among Us nights omg, just call me queen impostor please

Did my induction for Media-Wize

Got n e r v o u s because I kept getting things wrong in my new job. I always seem to fuck up the good things and opportunities that I get

Did a livestream reading of The Great Gatsby on my friend’s Twitch stream. It was really fun and something I had never done before. I voiced Tom Buchannan, which was interesting but cool to sort of get into the character. I hope to do something like this soon.

I burnt my hair while cooking dinner and had to give myself a haircut lmao. It was the first time since 2018 that I had cut it so it was a long time coming anyway.

So much Media-Wize work. It felt good to finally be getting paid to do a job

Got locked out of my bathroom so I had to climb up the laundry chute to unlock it from the inside, all because a fly outsmarted me (it’s a long story… and honestly best told by speaking it)

October:

Had the Kivuli 10th anniversary livestream. Lots of work went into it and it was so much fun! It’s incredible that a non-for-profit that has benefitted so many children and families is still going strong. Such a blessing to see.

Dad’s birthday, and we had a picnic with grandma and grandpa and saw them for the first time since lockdown was somewhat lifted

Walked to Beasley’s nursery with Josh and got a coffee. This was the first proper, not McCafe coffee I had had in months and it was SO good

Played Animal Crossing with Dani

More Among Us, a theme for the last few months of 2020

Watched the AFL Grand Final. Wasn’t super exciting this year tbh, especially since we couldn’t have a BBQ or party or anything, but hopefully next year will be different

Nearly moved out of home with a friend of a friend, but since I didn’t have a job, didn’t think it would be a wise decision. Would’ve been nice though

Did some more Media-Wize work. I haven’t been given anything to do since this time though, so I don’t know what’s going on with that? They really be ghosting me tho.

Applied for JobSeeker so I would at least be getting a little income

New Jackbox came out, and had a games night with The Boys playing all the new games

Voted in the local election

Went to Westerfold’s Park with Josh for a lovely long walk

Played lots of The Sims 4 (but tbh I have been doing this all year)

November:

This month things sort of started to turn around, as Covid wasn’t hitting my state hardly at all, so I was actually able to see family and friends again!

Went to my old primary school with Dani and played basketball and just shot around and talked. She also came over for dinner. It was so nice, and she is a true friend.

Had a picnic at the park at the top of the street with my dad’s side of the family, all together at last

Melbourne Cup Day, not that I really care but it’s nice to get a day off. Went on a day trip to the Dandenong mountain range. It was so, so nice and bought some lovely little things from local shops, went for a bushwalk and had a bakery lunch

Went to the park to throw the frisbee and kick the footy around with Josh and his friends, although they are my friends too tbh

Had a picnic with a group of friends that I hadn’t seen since January, so it was so, so good to catch up with them and have a delicious BBQ dinner

My favourite online comedy group, Aunty Donna’s Netflix series came out! Had a virtual watch party with a few friends and binge watched it all in one go

Had lunch with grandma. This used to be a weekly occurrence but for obvious reasons was put off for this year. I absolutely adore her and every lunch we spend together is so precious to me

Went to Kyneton with some of the family as another day trip

Christmas shopping time again. So weird to be at the shops and feel sort of normal? I went 4 different times in the span of a week and a half haha

Josh’s birthday! We went to this maze place with has a bunch of big mazes and other fun activities. It was such a perfect day. Then we had dinner with his family.

Got a letter from the IRS saying that I needed to provide them with proof of identity, so that was fun trying to sort that out. We love the outdated US tax system <3

Went to a bridal shower for my friend Katie

Went for another hike with Josh to the mountains

Drove down to Geelong for a friend’s wedding and stayed at my nan’s house

Had a pub dinner and Jackbox night while down in Geelong with The Boys

A good friend of mine was leaving to live in Japan for two years, so I went to her house one last time to say goodbye and chill in her pool and just hang out

God why is it so hard to get a job?

December:

Omg we have made it to December. It truly is a miracle with how this year went tbh. And if you have read this far, thank you but also, how little of a life do you have?

Went to my friend Katie’s wedding. Sort of surreal to go to a wedding during a pandemic but it was fun and I got to see a lot of friends I hadn’t seen in a while

Enjoyed the hot weather and went to the beach a number of times with a variety of friends

Went Christmas shopping, and just shopping in general since it was safe to and shops had finally opened again

Got a job at a talent agency where you get gigs as a paid extra in TV shows and movies, which was pretty cool! I even had a professional photoshoot to get headshots done, something that I had never done before. Glad that I could get some pictures to use on LinkedIn though haha. Still haven’t been cast in anything but here’s hoping.

Had dinner and drinks with Josh, Bec and Trev in the city for the first time since it reopened. God I love Melbourne so much. It is just so magical on balmy summer nights. This was such a special evening, and was so good just to be in the city again

Had a lovely day with Dani, starting with breakfast and then going on a hike before the weather got too hot. We went to Sherbrooke Forest, a place I hadn’t been before, and it was incredibly beautiful

Had a number of job interviews this month too, none of which got back to me which was annoying :/

Now it was heading into the time where every weekend is packed with Christmas do’s so I’ll just collate them in this point. Lots of drinks were consumed and many delicious roast dinners

Had our annual Christmas Carol’s service at church. It was a blessing to be back in the building for the first time since March, and to be able to do something I love (singing) with some of my best friends was the best

Christmas eve I went to my grandma and grandpa’s house (on dad’s side) to help them set up for Christmas lunch. Spending time together just the three of us is so special, and I am so glad I was able to come over and just chat and be in their loving presence. Then that night I went to our 11pm church service to bring in Christmas day. It was a great service and was great to see our kick-ass minister give a sermon face-to-face.

Ok here we go, Christmas was a doozy, let’s go. So Christmas lunch was, as I said, with my dad’s side of the family, which is always a great time. Cracking open crackers and fighting over who’ll get the bottle opener or nail clippers is always a highlight haha. But we had the fucking best roast potatoes I swear. I need to know what my grandma puts into them because I could genuinely eat 20 of them and still have space. Then the rest of the afternoon was spent in a food coma until I went to Josh’s house to spend dinner with his family. Another delicious meal and great banter was what I needed, although I can safely say that I put on at least 5 additional kilos after that day.

The next day the fam and I headed to Geelong to see my mum’s side of the family. Was a great drive down and I listened to all of The Avalanches new album which had just released. Easily the greatest album of the yeah hands-down. So we spent lunch there and absolutely stuffed ourselves with more food. Three Christmas meals really took a toll on me, but I am just blessed as it is to have a loving family and food on the table.

The next day dad, Josh and I headed to the beach to spend that weird time between Christmas and New Year’s. To get there we took the ferry that goes from Queenscliff to Portsea, which is always a fun time, since we don’t often go from one side of the bay to the other (if you don’t know the geography of Victoria I apologise lmao). Mum didn’t come with us as she had some symptoms of Covid, so went home to isolate and get tested. Thankfully she tested negative and she joined us the next day.

Once I got back home I had to prepare the house for my friend Jono who was visiting for new years from SA. Many last-minute chores and cleaning was done haha.

New Years Eve! Went to pick up Jono and my other friend Sarah from the airport and dropped Sarah off at her accommodation and ended up staying there with Jono for a while as this was where the New Year’s party was going to be. Although, in true Victorian fashion, our premier announced that there was going to be a limit of 15 visitors at any house from 5pm that night. Excellent. We love a last-minute change of plans. So we had lunch and spent the afternoon at my friend’s house before heading to a local park to chuck the frisbee and kick the footy around. We also had our second annual NYE trivia competition, which my team lost by 1 point!! Dang I get so competitive, but we will win next year, I can feel it. The new year came through uneventfully, we were in the middle of a game of Scattergories or something like that when someone changed the channel on the TV to see the Sydney fireworks across the screen and like, 4 second left of the countdown. I gave Josh a bog ol’ smooch and gave my friends a big hug. We had done it. 2020 was defeated.

Conclusion (damn this really be an essay tho)

This year was undeniably the hardest year I had ever been through. Going through unemployment for the majority of the year and having no sense of purpose hit me hard but I am entering 2021 with the hope and willingness to get on track with my career. And I think I will be successful. A lot of truly awful things happened around the world this year as well, with the devastating bushfires at the start of the year, the powerful BLM protests, Coronavirus absolutely destroying lives and many, many other global events but through it all, here we are. I hope you all keep well this year and that your 2021 is infinitely better than your 2020.

Song of the Year: Tangerine – Glass Animals

Album of the Year: We Will Always Love You – The Avalanches (I CANNOT stress this enough, but you absolutely must listen to this album!)

TV Show of the Year: The Mandalorian - Season 2

Movie of the Year: Bombshell (the only movie I saw at the cinemas so didn’t have much to go with)

Memory of the Year: Going away with my family and just enjoying time away with each other

Thank you for reading this, if you’ve made it this far, you’re a real one <3

Rothenburg / Flight from Europe

If you’ve been keeping up with us (Kath and Matt!) lately you’ll know that we’re back home in Australia, counting down the days until we’re allowed to finish our two week government-mandated quarantine. To maintain the narrivtive tension of the blog, please pretend you don’t already know that.

PS. if you just want to see photos you can check out our album on Memories Ninja.

After a nice couple of days in Innsbruck we decided to head into Germany to see the picturesque town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber (”Red Castle over the Tauber River”) and go on some day trips. We drove ~6 hours from Innsbruck to Rothenburg.

On the way to Rothenburg we visited Neuschwanstein castle, which looked beautiful from a distance, but a little crappy when you get up close. The story of the castle was our favourite feature of the visit. Neuschwanstein was built by a 19th century king of Bavaria who was a massive nerd, and if born into our modern era would certainly play World of Warcraft and collect anime figurines.

Ludwig II of Bavaria loved Wagner and held a very romantic view of the middle ages. He wanted to build the perfect middle-age castle so he could hang out there with his friend Wagner all the time (no, really, like a 12 year old in a tree house). Ironically he partially demolished a historical middle-ages fort in the process of building the castle. He apparently made so many changes to the architecture of the castle while it was being built that the architects no longer wanted to put their names on the drawings. What a pain in the ass! Tragically he died soon after the completion of the project and the castle was soon opened up to tourists - meaning no one ever really lived in it. In a way, this was the original McMansion. We left Neuschwanstein with mixed feelings about the historical meaning of the castle.

Soon after we arrived in Rothenburg and very tentatively drove our rental car through a narrow portcullis onto the town’s cobbled streets. We did a great one hour audio walking tour which we found on a free podcast that filled us in on the place. (we recommend podcast-based audio tours)

From what we learned, Rothenburg was a really important merchant town from around the 9th-17th centuries, but then the German 30 years war happened and the town fell into an economic slump and no one could afford to remodel their houses for a few hundred years. This sucked for the residents until the 20th century when old houses become cool again and here they are now, running a big live-in museum.

There was no shortage of shops selling out of season Christmas decorations, bric-a-brac, nutcrackers, giant steins and swords! (Note the fully-functioning chastity belt on the right hand side)

They also have a sweet church...

...and a surprisingly good torture museum (I know you’re rolling your eyes). The museum suffered a little bit of scope creep in their subject matter and included topics like the history of royal seals, law and jurisprudence in Germany, accreditation of tradespeople, religion...

and passive-aggressive workplace posters from the 60s.

Rothenburg was nice. After 2 of 4 days there we felt like we had maxed out on things to do in the town and were starting to look at day trips, but at that point the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Germany and France were ~2000 each. Note that there are 2300 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Australia at the moment and now there are ~60,000 and ~40,000 cases in each country, so expect a lot more COVID-19 in Australia in the next few weeks.

We were getting worried about the rest of the continent becoming like Italy (which as already bad then) and decided that it was time to leave Germany for the UK. We bailed on our accommodation with 2 nights left, drove 6 hours straight to Paris, dropped off the rental car, took a train to the airport and stayed the night in a nearby hotel and flew to the UK the next morning. The airport in Paris was quite empty

We flew into Gatwick airport in the UK and stayed the night in a surprisingly nice historical pub which had been converted into a hotel.

Now, at this point, in retrospect, we should have called off the holiday here. It was becoming clear that the virus was not being contained in Italy and that it was only a matter of time until things became serious in the UK as well. Still, we had saved up for and planned this holiday over a 12 month period and were pretty committed to keeping it going. We had our MUST HAVE FUN blinders on.

So rather than fleeing home we rented a campervan! We rented it for two weeks with the intention of maybe extending the rental a little further. It was super cool! It had a double bed, toilet, shower, sink, fridge, stove and dining table, in addition to being a fully functioning motor vehicle. The rental was ~$150 AUD per night, which isn’t so bad when you count it as both accommodation and car rental.

Once we had booked out campervan we took a train to the garage, picked it up and drove to Stonehenge, where we walked around the fields and had a nice picnic.

There was a bit of a disaster where we walked for about an hour trying to get into Stonehenge based on some shitty advice given to us by some idiot at the entrance who yelled at us, but other than that it was a really nice afternoon, until....

...until we ran out of wine. Wanting more wine, we decided to drive to the nearby town and pick up a few more bottles to see us through the next couple of days. This was when we realised that the car was bogged.

I (Matt) have never driven a vehicle as big and heavy as this van so I didn’t think parking in the soft wet earth for a few hours would be a problem. It was. The left wheel was spinning out, and there was no way we could push the van out of the hole it was in. We tried.

Luckily a solider from the nearby army base was walking his dogs down the road and found us struggling. He helped us forage for some wood, rocks and carpet on the roadside and spent at least an hour helping us try to get some traction in the mud. The guy was a champion, he got very stuck into it and very muddy. He tried really, really hard to help us get out. Unfortunately we had to give up as night fell. Thanks anyway Steve!

That night we were stuck in the mud and out of wine, when another problem cropped up

We got this article linked to us from several friends and family members and a lot of people were suggesting we come home. At this point we cracked and decided to come home. Stonehenge was closing the next day, the Australian borders were potentially shutting down and flights were getting cancelled. Even if we went full mobile-hermit in our campervans (the plan), a lot of tourist sites were being shut down and we didn’t want to get locked out of Australia.

The next morning I (Matt) walked into the nearby town, bought a shovel, carried it back and dug out the van. At least that was covered! We drove to the nearby town and got a big English breakfast to raise our spirits.

After breakfast we booked our flight home for two days later and tried to enjoy the remainder of our holiday. We took a day trip out to Old Sarum, an ancient hill-fort that was the site of a ruined royal castle, and spent the night in a caravan park. The owner of the park said that this was the last day that they were open based on government orders - so our trip was truly screwed even if we had pushed on with the camper van.

Next day we dropped of the van early, didn’t get a refund for our unused days, took an Uber to Heathrow airport and holed up in a nearby hotel. The hotel was cheap and reasonably nice, but somehow this bland room service meal cost $100.

Next day we got up at 5am and took the shuttle into Heathrow airport. It was a zoo in there. Sadly we saw a lot of Indians in line getting pulled out of line, because their trip home was being blocked by the Indian government.

After 2 hours in line we got our tickets and proceeded to take three 7h flights to Dubai, Singapore and then home.

Now we’re back in Australia, waiting out our two week isolation period in Portsea.

As a homeowner, you’ll have to experience some plumbing problems at some point. Some of the plumbing issues you encounter in your residential property can be pretty annoying to handle and even though most of these issues fall under the DIY category, some of them require the attention of an emergency plumbing service. Generally, plumbing problems can cause lots of damage to your property. For this reason, it’s good to allow a plumbing Melbourne professional to handle such issues. Here are some of the plumbing services offered by Melbourne 24 Hour Plumbing.

Plumbing Melbourne: Leaking and broken pipes

If you experience either a broken or a leaking pipe in your home, you should first locate your main water valve, turn it off and then contact a professional plumber. If you cannot locate the water valve, a plumber can enlighten you on the main valves you should turn off in case of any plumbing emergencies. Leaking and broken and pipes in the home can’t be fixed by DIY; these pipes should be repaired or replaced by experienced professionals. Ensure that your plumber checks the whole plumbing system for other possible damages. However, to fix a leak temporarily before the plumber arrives, you can put some rags or towels around the broken pipes and place buckets under the leaking pipes to collect the dripping water to avoid further damage to your home.

Plumbing Melbourne: Sewer backups

The purpose of a sewer line is to remove all waste from your property and to pipe it to the sewer underneath your street. If your sewer system is invaded by tree roots or corroded, it can break and that requires the immediate attention of an emergency plumber. You can easily identify sewer backups by clogged drains, some stains in your basement, uneven levels of water in your toilet, and a bad odor in the property. If you experience any or some of these issues, you should contact a plumbing service to investigate the current situation as soon as possible.

Plumbing Melbourne: Gas leaks

If you happen to smell gas or even suspect gas leaks in your house, the first thing you must do is to turn off the main gas valve and then call an emergency plumber as soon as possible. If you leave gas leaks unattended, they can lead to severe injuries and damage your home. Therefore, it’s vital to call a professional plumber once you smell gas in your property.

Plumbing Melbourne: Broken hot water system

Hot water problems usually become an emergency if they occur during winter months in a home with little children, senior adults, or people with health problems. Some hot water system issues can be fixed with ease, such as rekindling the gas starter flame, switched off thermostats, or tripped circuit breakers. However, if you check the hot water system for all these issues and cannot find the main reason why your hot water system stopped functioning, the next thing you should do is to call a Melbourne 24 Hour plumber.

Plumbing Melbourne: Plumbing upgrades

Home renovations and plumbing upgrades can affect the whole plumbing system of your home. Whether you’re considering selling your house or adding value to it, plumbing upgrades might be inevitable. The new plumbing lines or fixtures will not only improve the appearance of your bathroom or kitchen, but they’ll also incorporate some accessories that will make your life easier and more convenient.

When remodeling your bathroom or renovating your kitchen, planning is vital because home renovations can be expensive, especially if not planned properly. To avoid unnecessary costs, you should work with a professional plumber to know the plumbing designs and requirements that will work effectively with the new structural parameters of the renovated home.

Plumbing Melbourne: Plumbing system inspections

When there’s a blockage or leak in your home, a plumbing service will perform a thorough inspection of the whole plumbing system to check if there are any more lingering problems. If your plumbing system is more than 25 years old, for example, it might require a replacement. Your plumber will notify you of this when they come over to fix your emergency plumbing issues.

Conclusion

It’s vital to maintain your home’s plumbing system well to reduce the risks of emergency plumbing issues. If you happen to find yourself in any of the plumbing situations discussed above, you should contact Melbourne 24 Hour plumbing service for professional assistance. Again, before making any major upgrades, you should look for expert advice from experienced professionals to help you complete your home renovations and upgrades without causing any damage to your plumbing system.

That Was the Year That Was – 1948

Free healthcare, free schooling, free love – and now early retirement free from the financial woes that plague the rest of us. Could there be a luckier year to have been born than 1948?

As pensions fall off a cliff, the smug 61-year-old is planning the next safari or cruise. Nourished and nurtured by a "cradle-to-grave" welfare state and protected by final salary, the holy grail of pension schemes, the 1948ers would appear to have had it all.

Those of every generation are inclined to believe themselves more fortunate than the previous. But in Britain, 1948 keeps ticking the boxes. "We are, indeed, the blessed people," says the author and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth, who attributes their timely conception to the "bitterly cold and austere" nights during the 1947 fuel crisis.

"We missed out on national service. We had the golden age of the Eagle and the Beano together. No other generation had them combined."

Sharing his birth year with Prince Charles, Lord Sacks, the chief rabbi, and the singer Lulu, he detects another trait. "Everyone born in 1948 was a great achiever. You either become chief rabbi or king. It’s almost automatic."

BRITAIN 1948

Britain has changed greatly since 1948. Today people are much richer. They live in far more comfortable homes and ordinary people can afford things that were luxuries in 1948 (like foreign holidays). People are also healthier and they live longer. They also have things like the internet that were not even dreamed of in 1948.

British society has changed a great deal since 1948. In the 1950s large numbers of West Indians arrived in Britain. Also from the 1950s many Asians came. In the late 20th century Britain became a multi-cultural society. There was another changed in British society. In the late 20th century divorce and single parent families became much more common.

For a long time after 1948 unemployment remained very low and the late 1940s and the 1950s and 1960s were a long period of prosperity. However this ended in the mid-1970s. In 1973 there was still full employment in Britain (it stood at 3%). However shortly afterwards a period of high inflation and high unemployment began. In the late 1970s unemployment stood at around 5.5%.

In 1948:

A quarter of British homes had no electricity.

People often lived in the same town all their lives, near their families.

There were often more than three children in every family.

One third of the British population went to the cinema at least once a week.

There were only 14,500 television sets in the whole country and there was only one channel (BBC). Hardly any homes had a television.

Most families listened to the wireless (radio) for their entertainment.

Many homes did not have a telephone or an indoor toilet.

Cooking was done from scratch using produce grown locally. You could only buy items that were in season and most of what you bought was made or grown in the UK.

There were only just over a million cars on Britain’s roads.

Petrol rationing remained until 1954. For most people, this made the car an unaffordable luxury. Most people used public transport to get around.

Air travel was mainly for the rich. To go abroad, most people travelled by ship.

The average weekly wage was £3 18s (£3.90). Now it is about £400.

In 1948, most people in Britain worked in manufacturing industries, where they made things (in factories for example). Heavy industries like coal mining, iron and steel making, ship building and engineering employed millions of workers. Most of these workers were men. The majority of women stayed at home to look after their families and their homes.

Today, most people work in service industries such as education, health, shops, banks and insurance, where they provide services for other people. There is very little heavy industries left. People can buy of make the same things cheaper elsewhere. New technology means that factories use more machines to do the work and fewer people.

More women work today. It is normal for women to have jobs, even if they have young children.

SS Empire Windrush

The arrival of the SS Empire Windrush in June 1948 at Tilbury Dock, Essex, in England, marked the beginning of post-war mass migration. The ship had made an 8,000 mile journey from the Caribbean to London with 492 passengers on board from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and other islands.

Most of the passengers were ex-servicemen seeking work.

This marked the beginning of post-war mass migration.

When they walked down the gangplank onto British soil they could not have imagined that their journey would begin an important landmark in the history of London and the rest of country.

The passengers on board the Windrush were invited to come to Britain after World War Two, to assist with labour shortages.

Many of the passengers had fought for Britain during the war.

They later became known as the ‘Windrush Generation.’

Later, Enoch Powell, the Tory Health Minister from 1960-1963, was to invite women from the Caribbean to Britain to train as nurses.

It was he who several years caused an uproar with his anti-immigration ‘rivers of blood’ speech.

In reality the response to the call for labour was minimal and by 1958 only 125,000 workers had arrived in Britain from the Caribbean islands. However, there were also other factors at play.

National Health Service is established

The National Health Service, established by the post-war Labour government, represented a fundamental change in the provision of medical services. The General Practitioner (GP) service became organised on the basis of a ‘capitation fee’ paid by the government on every patient registered with a doctor. Voluntary and municipal hospitals were integrated under state control, exercised by the Ministry of Health.

Olympic Games open at Wembley Stadium in London

The so-called ‘Austerity Games’ were held in London while rationing was still in force in Britain. Fifty nine nations took part, but the defeated powers of Germany and Japan were excluded. London saw the first Olympic photo finish, in the 100 metres, and the introduction of starting blocks for sprinters. These were the first Games since Berlin in 1936. The 1940 Games went to Tokyo, then Stockholm, but were cancelled – as were the 1944 games – due to World War Two.

UK cost of living 1948

Price of an average house £1,651.

Average Salary £300 a year.

Average Family Car £590.

Litre of Fuel £0.02.

FLOUR 1.5KG £0.04.

BREAD 1 LOAF £0.02.

SUGAR 1KG £0.05.

MILK 1PT £0.08.

BUTTER 250G £0.04.

CHEESE 400G £0.04.

POTATOES 2.5KG £0.03.

BACON 400G £0.17.

Plumber Melbourne – Getting to The Bottom of Your Plumbing Problems

The subject of plumbing is an interesting one to many people! As you are about to read in this article, there are many techniques, skills and pieces of equipment one must have to successfully do a plumbing Melbourne job at home. There is so much involved in plumbing that it can be a very daunting and scary topic to handle. This article will provide you with the information you need to get started on your own plumbing projects and DIY fixes.

Noisy Pipes

If you have pipes that are alive with the sound of squeaking or hammering, you have an issue that can easily be corrected. This is a common problem that occurs in many homes and businesses. You must anchor all exposed pipes as soon as practically possible. Pipes that are contained within the floors, walls and ceilings may need to be attended to by a professional Plumber Melbourne to limit the amount of damage.

Inspecting Toilet floors

Inspect around the toilets for softness in the floors or wall to see if any damage has occurred. There is an easy test to perform to check for this: sit reversed on the toilet (facing the tank) with your feet on the floor. Rock your weight onto each foot in turn and see if you can feel any weakness or “give” in the floor. Early detection of this Plumbing Melbourne problem may save you a great deal of money over time.

Don’t Pour Grease or Oil Down Your Sink

A very common mistake that people make is pouring grease or oil down the sink. DO NOT pour grease or other oils in your sink or down your drain. These substances will clog the drain over time as they cool and harden. This is important because the blades will stop working in your insinkerator or garbage disposal if they have fat on them. Dump your oil outside or in a container that you throw out with the regular garbage on collection day.

Attending to All Repairs in One Callout Will Save You Money.

Whenever you have plumbing work that needs to be done by a professional and licensed Plumber Melbourne, you should schedule all problems to be worked at the same time. You might be tempted to contact a Plumber Melbourne every time you face a small problem, but if you have problems repaired all at once, you will save money for the fixes as you should be charged one call out fee. Also, combining smaller jobs into one larger job lets the Plumber Melbourne finish his work faster and therefore saves you money.

Maintaining Your Insinkerator

It is very important to use lots of cold water when running your garbage disposal or insinkerator. The cold water helps the blades that are inside stay sharp and will keep your disposal running smoothly for a long time. Avoid using hot water, as this will liquefy grease, causing it to build up in the drain and obstruct your pipes, which may result in requiring Plumber Melbourne to attend your house.
