So today is the first day of freedom for people who reside in the city of Melbourne. The world record for the longest period of Covid related lockdown so far ever.

The traffic is heavy everywhere. With many people going into the country to experience a long long weekend. For the “race that stops a nation” it is Melbourne Cup week.

Most Melburians take this opportunity to take a long long weekend and “go bush”.

I am just doing my usual thing which is stay close to home and actually work on the Monday something I haven’t done for over 14 years now. The pressure has been on to deliver a project at work and I really could not spare any time off work.

Stay safe out there Melburnians on the roads and in the Covid world.
