What a month. Early in the month, a hail and windstorm hit Belconnen, ripping apart trees and wiping out vegetation, gardens and power lines. We were without power for four days, but thankfully Keith brought a generator around so we could keep the refrigerator and freezer going. A fortnight later we both contracted Covid19 and had to isolate for a week. I was not affected very badly, although miserable, but Des is still suffering effects.
We made a second visit to Lake George to obtain some aerial photos of the lake with water in it.

| Yet another trip to the green waste to get rid of the tree. Cleanup was a DIY job |
