23.01.2022 Tough times can often bring out the best in a community and the coronavirus crisis is no exception. Across the Sunshine Coast, acts of generosity and kindness are bringing people together as we learn to adapt to a completely different way of life. The swell of goodwill is heart-warming and provides reassurance that while we need to remain physically apart, our community is more connected than ever.... Examples of goodwill are everywhere. Neighbours are checking in on each other, sewing groups are making personal protective equipment and the power of social media is being leveraged to support healthcare workers and the hospitality industry. Thank you to the businesses, individuals and community groups that are going the extra mile to look after others. #viralkindness #localssupportinglocals #adoptahealthcareworker #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocalbusiness Elixiba Bombay Bliss Kenilworth Country Bakery Wildlife HQ Restaurant Food Delivery + Takeaway - Sunshine Coast Localfoodsunshinecoast Adopt a Healthcare Worker Queensland https://www.livingsmartqld.com.au//viral-kindness-the-acts

17.01.2022 A great article from @TheMicroGardener about Seasonal Gardening Tips for May in Subtropical QLD May is a prime planting month for autumn and winter crops.
