An emergency Melbourne pandemic lockdown broadcast!

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us!


Where Inger and Jason release an emergency broadcast in support
of everyone who is working through conditions which have
heightened levels of difficulty.

Jason has just heard that the snap lockdown announced in
Melbourne a week ago has just been extended for another 7 days
(and maybe more).

This got Jason and Inger thinking - how do you cope with this?
What are some of the ways that a person can take back control
over something that is definitely outside of their usual
control?

Note: We did invite guests in - but lost the audio so had to cut
around the gaps. There's a bit of an awkward cut at the 12 minute
mark or so - but we decided to just roll with it because, you
know - pandemic.

You do miss out on @Anitranot giving you an excellent lock down
cookie recipe and @AJBuntine sharing an excellent 'virtual
commute' coping strategy. We're hoping Inger can diagnose what
went wrong because having guests was so much fun! Thanks Andrew
and Anitra for jumping on the line at short notice - you lifted
our spirits :-)
