The bare year!
My wife loves to collect fridge magnets and this is just some of her collection. They of course cover the many places here in Australia and overseas we have visited on our annual holidays over many years that have meant so much to us since we were married. Those of you who know me will understand by the delight I take photographing our time away and uploading it to flickr. And we all love our holidays, don't we?
The years we missed through sickness serve to underline the importance and joy we get on our holidays and indeed the times we spent with our daughter before she grew up and became independent.
We would normally have made reservations by now but a string of medical issues and you could say developing fears about what seemed to be unfolding in our world had me holding back.
Sadly, owing to geopolitical and economic circumstances about which you will all have read and feared and predictions of a rout on the Australian Stock Exchange tomorrow, there is significant risk to our retirement savings and indeed the superannuation and investments of most people in Australia and also around the world. The risk of a global recession has been increased to 60+%, probably worse than when COVID rolled out. So sadly, out of an abundance of caution, our plans for holidays and some new magnets this year have been cancelled at least for now. In the meantime, we will just roll with the punches like everyone else. What can I say? Comments disabled I hope. Best wishes everyone, the ride ahead may be rough and dirty.
