Time to re-boot..



I am very much missing the trip over to see our Sydney family this year, it's been nearly eight months since we saw our grandchildren. I usually take a two week break when we go over and have missed that break, feeling a bit jaded.. plus I have developed some bad habits lately 😉 Too many late nights, not enough sleep, not enough exercise, too much social media.. you get the picture :) I believe there are many walking trails around Perth that we haven't explored yet, I'm going to take some time to find them and will share with you when I return in two weeks. Like so many others my brain is on overload with all that is going on in the world right now.. apart from a re-boot I need a detox also :) Take care while I'm away, à bientôt 💙

  1. I think most of us need to reboot. We don't have family that we really need to visit, but having cancelled our holiday Nigel in particular needs to get away. Sadly it is not going to happen for a while yet but you take care. A bientot and stay safe. Diane

  5. Good to see you Grace. Take a break and explore the trails.

    Then when you detox you can set up and at least visit via Zoom.

  10. Hi, Grace...This is Genie, the napkin lady. I am finally returning to the Buttons for Baga blog after about 4 years. That is quite the break but one that was unavoidable. Sounds like the pandemic is taking its toll on you as it is on all of us. I have not seen any of my children or grandchildren sine it began. I look forward to your posts in the weeks to come. You always shared such special shots. Hugs to you this Monday.

  11. Dearest Grace,
    Yes, that overload of negativity, while being deprived the joy and togetherness of family and friends is weighing us down heavily.
    You go and find out about those walking trails and take your time to re-boot! I too have been very tired, took an afternoon nap of over two hours. Have to say that I woke up early at 4:19 AM and stayed up about one and a half hour. Not good but the mind is kind of wandering off...
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  13. Yes, Grace, I haven´t seen my family, either since ages, it hurts.
    The whole world has gone crazy.
    We go back to normal, slowly, is that a good thing, I have no idea. To a break, come back well, with pics and full power, OK? xoxo

  14. I know how you feel. I haven't been able to go to Melbourne or Sydney to see my daughters and grands.Too much eating and too much sitting in front of computer. It sure is a depressing time.

  20. I agree that everything going on in the world is hard to swallow and makes all of us feel helpless. I find that our little blogging group of like minded friends gives me some comfort. Stay safe and enjoy the time away.

  22. Hi Grace, Nice to see that you are still very active!
    I'm reflecting the year 2000 when I came to think about this online community which I was very active in.

  28. Il faut savoir arrêter les réseaux sociaux de temps en temps, c'est ce que j'ai fait pendant 3 mois et cela fait du bien. je souhaite que tu ai récupéré une bonne santé et que tu peux dormir correctement tes nuits. La pandémie à ce jour n'est pas stoppée et cela sur aucun continent, donc on voyage moins ou pas du tout. On a tous hâte qu'un vaccin soit enfin trouvé, hélas on en est pas encore là. Prends soin de toi, à bientôt.

  29. Thanks for the heads up, then we won't worry where did she go? I feel pretty much like you, and 8 months is hard I have now a year for my grand-daughter in Alabama and at least the 5 living close to me, we've been together, but not as many adventures as we would. Take good care of you, and I'm excited to hear and see all that you've collected while you are away.
