I started reading Alice in Wonderland to the children today. It s so fun reading them books that are fun for me too. The first years kids books were kind of boring to read again and again. But now they are old enough to enjoy lots of different things. They don't take to audio books most of the time, we try every now and then. 

Here in Siem Reap we are all getting our second jabs of Sinopharm, 3 weeks after we got our first. I'm not sure of figures but I guess that the majority of adults in our town will have had both doses buy Friday. Teenagers have already been asked to put their names, and they will be done soon.

Mean while in Australia, they recently halved the cap on people flying back in, from around 6000 per week to 3000 per week. It has already been super hard and expensive to get there, people have been missing events like being with their families for deaths, weddings etc. I was shocked they made it even harder as there are still over 30K people trying to get back in.

And then more recently they made visits harder by taking away the auto exemption. So getting back out of Aus takes more paper work and there is the chance you could be denied. More here:

Now it is even hard for multicultural families and expats to visit.
