09.01.2022 "When times are tough, Australians have always relied on the distinctive qualities of mateship, humour, ingenuity, courage and endurance to get us through. Known as the ANZAC Spirit, these five qualities have defined Australians ever since the first troops landed on the beaches of Gallipoli in World War I. In the current climate, we’re reminding Australians that we all bear these qualities within us, ready to come to the fore when we need them."...

04.01.2022 Gamer Grandma, Michelle Statham, aged 55, streams Call Of Duty everyday. Game streaming is a social format in which content creators like TacticalGramma broadcast live video of the game they are playing. TacticalGramma’s viewers come from all walks of life. Many face challenges brought on by COVID 19, while others are a single parent, or dealing with challenges at school or work. In the end, each person she speaks with receives comfort and advice. Someone who calms their fear...s in a way that only a grandma can do. I’m definitely not the best at gaming or anything, but I love chatting with the community, and I love to play, she explained.

See some of the very entertaining album covers the seniors recreated here - http://ed.gr/cn769... These could be some to keep your family from being bored through lockdown!
