Positive ideas for corona recovery
Strange days indeed.
Much of the regular St Kilda music and arts has been plunged into hibernation for a corona winter.
But the community response is only just beginning …

Share your library says Liz
Regular TWiSK contributor Liz has emailed local friends with lists of her books they can borrow.
Easy. Friends sharing books – old school cool!
Maybe take a pic of your bookshelp to email?
To be sure, wash hands and wipe covers before giving or receiving books.

Use your e-library
All Port Phillip libraries are now closed. Use your library card number to access a great range of e-services, films, books, audio books and more. It’s easier than you think 🙂

Say welcome back with care packs says Michelle
Regular podcast co-host Michelle suggests offering simple care packs for friends returning from overseas.
Offer to get fresh milk, some bread or cereal to get them started.
“Who has that ready when you’ve been away?”
Start the ball rolling with a friendly note or text message.
Stay safe by following social distancing rules.
Be a garden nomad says Christ Church
Garden nomads volunteer to help maintain gardens for older people and others. Solo or with a friend two metres away, stay active and help someone else simultaneously. It’s gardening for those without a garden.

Plenty of ifs, but no buts says Karen from PPCG
If you’ve got holidays, take em.
If you can, keep kids at home.
If you know a health worker, look after their kids.
If you know a casual worker, share your income.
If you have a neighbor, check on them.
If you see a curve, flatten it.
