Love this post Christine! So honest and real. Im writing this from bed and it’s still dark outside. I was just telling my cousin this weekend that I’m okay with the drop in temperature during winter. It’s the getting-dark-at-4:30pm that I can’t take.

The mental impact of Covid is like a leaking pipe underground. You won't notice it until the rupture starts to burst. Sydney is far better. The number of cases is not alarming. To avoid being overwhelmed by the solitude, we invited friends to come and gather less than 2 weeks ago. Not everyone came. Some still treated covid with caution. Again, we organize another one next Thursday. This time there will be 4 families. I have ordered a red bean green tea cake from a Korean cafe that makes very beautiful cakes. Then we would cook some dishes like 胡椒豬肚豬肺湯, 蝦膠醸涼瓜, 牛肋骨燜柚皮, 墨魚飛魚籽炒飯. To use mouth-watering cuisine to drive out melancholic feelings is also my best shot.
