Another day in lockdown. Melbourne is now the holder of the dubious title of Most Locked-down City in the World.
And Dan Andrews is already in talks to extend the State of Emergency powers for another six months. I can only imagine the sort of plans he’s drafting, ones that will further drag Melbourne into an apocalyptic wasteland. All around us, lives are imploding, businesses are sinking, people are hesitant to contact others. What a shitstorm he’s created. I’d suggest the man resign, but he’s too arrogant to listen to anyone.
Too sad, too angry, too depressed.

It’s an unenviable title for what is claimed by so many Melbourne residents to be the world’s most liveable city.

Not just by residents; the city consistently topped the list, and I think actually held first place once or twice. It’s not even a shadow of its former glory.

I’d never want to live in Melbourne. It’s too gloomy.

I remember my first visit as a work trip. Everyone looked so depressed and dark. Wearing black like they were in mourning and the streets of the CBD were depressing. People rave about the food, but I think all cities have places with great food. Maybe I too used to sunshine ☀️

Black is so chic! I agree with you on the food…Melbourne is not the only city in the world to offer variety in restaurants, cafes and the like. Always thought that was a weird thing to boast about 🙂

I feel so much for you Linda. I doubt whether anyone else would be able to get on top of the shitstorm that is Melbourne no matter what side of politics they come from.
I dread the opening up of the country when there is 70% vaccinated as us in the rural areas don’t have access to vaccines as readily as city people and letting them out of the cities into a vulnerable rural communities, especially up here where everyone loves to holiday is a recipe for our disaster.
Many hugs and love 🤗🤗❤

I can understand, Linda. Lockdowns are becoming so depressing! Take care.
I visited Melbourne only for a couple of days but loved it.

Thanks Punam. It’s my children I’m most worried for. The premier of Victoria has wholly neglected children in these past 18 months, and it’s disgraceful.

Linda, children are the most neglected all over the world during these times. We don’t know and can’t even begin to imagine the long term repercussions on their mental well being these prolonged lockdowns will have!
You are welcome. Let’s hope things get better.

I wish I could do something other than write, “I’m so sorry, Linda!” But I am so sorry that you and so many others have had to go through this. T_T

I wish I could stop writing about lockdowns and Victoria’s terrible premier…he’s taking up too much space in my thoughts!!
