Quick status update

 Hi all,

Sorry for the tardy updating of the blog, there really is no excuse as I'll come to! In brief, we drove from Pt Augusta to Ceduna, then Border Village for a couple of days where we waited for the WA border to open. We crossed about 12:05am to make sure we got across, just on the madly unlikely offchance there was an outbreak in SA. Oh what did we know! 

ABC interviewed us at the border, and as a result of this contact when the outbreak happened in SA and WA were trying to work out what to do with everyone they got back in touch with us and for a day or so we had phones running hot passing info onto a few reporters who'd been in touch with us. WA decided everyone who'd been in SA would need to quarantine for 14 days, so we drove to Esperance where we were supposed to be able to stay for the quarantine period and had our first covid test. Unfortunately they then decided we all needed to leave, but thankfully Mim's parents moved out of their house so we could move in. The next day which would have been Tuesday 17th we drove about 700km from Esperance to Perth where we've been ever since, sitting out our quarantine period. Had time to get some work and school work done, which is why there's no excuse for not having the blog more up to date as we had a good week and a half sitting around doing not a whole lot of anything (well catching up on sleep was a big one!).

We came out of quarantine this morning so were able to go out to do a bit of shopping. Mim's parents have moved back in now and tonight we're going to Gosnells Ecclesia's Sunday School Prizegiving, which will be the first time we will have been to an ecclesial hall and in a big group since March!

We intend to start travelling up north mid next week for a couple of weeks.

We'll work on getting the real blog up to date before then.

Take care,

Love Greg and Mim and Kids
