huon view skip to main skip to sidebar huon view life in tasmania s huon valley by a blow in from the mainland sunday may 10 2020 the last post ten years ago today we arrived at our new home in tasmania we didn t know anyone we d been here once on holiday keen for an adventure tired of the stresses caused by too many people and hoping for a simpler more comfortable life we packed up our cars and drove down to our new home in the huon valley we had a gut feeling that we would love it here it s a big call but i m calling it i think it was the best decision we ever made a lot of things go into that assessment including our beautiful friends the fresh air friendly people great food wildlife and wilderness plus the many opportunities we ve had and things we ve been able to do here that we never could have in sydney this is home now it s entirely possible we might live somewhere else in the future for work or for adventure but this is where i would come back to it s also ten years since i started this blog i started it as a way of letting family and friends know what we were up to and a way for me to record some of the little details about our new life the classic online journal if you like since then i ve met many people who have told me they read my blog before they moved here and found it useful that always comes as a bit of a lovely surprise each year i have also printed a book from it to send to a few offline relatives and friends ten years and more than 800 posts later i ve decided to call it a day so what comes next if you want to find out for now you can find me on instagram huonview old_bank_franklin posted by susan moore at 3 34 pm no comments saturday may 9 2020 reflections in the year or so since we moved down from the hills of franklin into the centre of town i must have taken hundreds of photos of the huon river it s different moods the high tides and the low sparkling water and gloomy its boats and birds and more besides at one point i had to stop taking my phone with me when we walked gretchen every day something would catch my eye and i would whip out the phone it was driving david crazy my phone was filling up with river views now with restrictions on what we can do and where we can go during the pandemic i ve never been more grateful for our twice daily dog walks along the river it s calm and reflective just what we need right now posted by susan moore at 7 46 pm no comments labels coronavirus franklin huon river views village life saturday may 2 2020 top local takeaways in the age of covid 19 since arriving home from germany six weeks ago now where has the time gone i have done a lot of cooking roast chicken lamb shanks teriyaki salmon lasagne stir fries risotto curries soups steak and salad thai noodles tuna patties and sticky pork to name just a few and that s before i get onto all the cake bread and biscuit baking we ve also tried to support local eateries with every restaurant and cafe unable to operate normally at present many are providing takeaway options home dinner kits or even home delivery in the covid 19 era the term takeaway definitely does not only mean fast food we ve had burgers and pork and fennel sausage rolls from frank s hand made pasta and prepared sauces from osteria at petty sessions fish and chips from aqua grill and tangaroa kai and thai from huon s little treasure last night we had a foot of pepperoni pizza from osteria with a salad made from produce included in our ration pack delivery from fat pig farm today s lunch was pork rillette pictured above from the same ration pack spread on a hot piece of sourdough toast plus more of the delicate salad leaves it s surprising that i can still fit into my jeans really and there s much more on offer in our local area sushi from masaaki for starters oh wow can t wait to give that a go posted by susan moore at 4 33 pm no comments labels cooking coronavirus food local businesses restaurants monday april 20 2020 forest bathing on easter monday i went for a rather long walk more than 25km according to runkeeper after weeks of being cooped up in iso like almost everyone else i was desperate for a leg stretch and some forest bathing as i believe the japanese call it i turned left after leaving our front gate then left again and just kept walking up into the hills up and up past the houses and fields of cows and chooks to the land of wallabies and lyrebirds ah the smell of fresh rainforest air i visited the old mill site in the forest for the first time since the surrounding coupe was logged a few years back then hiked down some forestry roads in the hope of finding my way through to the top of a different road to return down the hill however it has changed a bit up there and i got stuck and had to return the same way it s been more than a year since bushfire roared through some of these lands and i was a bit surprised how little has grown back in places i was expecting much more green regrowth and undergrowth i guess next time i ll try the walk in reverse to see if i can work out how i got through last time i love exploring the hills of the huon posted by susan moore at 2 24 pm no comments labels bushfire forestry franklin hiking huon valley local stuff walking saturday april 11 2020 let it rain the forecast dump of rain over easter has arrived and we re not unhappy about it for one it s a stay home weekend anyway thanks to the coronavirus crisis two we got a new rainwater tank this week it s right at the back door and we re looking forward to collecting rainwater from the large roof area for use in the garden for car washing and more it seems a waste to use town water for these things so even our small stainless steel tank will be very useful plus the tap on it is right at the back door and i reckon we might drink some of it too we got a bit spoiled living off rainwater tanks up on the hill for nine years and the taste of town water is well no comparison we ve bought a water filter jug that sits permanently at the kitchen sink for our drinking water posted by susan moore at 8 31 am no comments labels home rain weather friday april 10 2020 quarantinebaking we re not in official quarantine or self isolation anymore we stopped receiving the daily text messages from the government after our 14 days were up but we are still isolating at home like pretty much everyone else right now and like many others stuck in their homes i ve been doing a fair bit of quarantine baking or iso baking as it s now known bread apple cake choc chip cookies and now my very first attempt at home made hot cross buns using a recipe delivered in a timely email from provincial home living during the week if you want the recipe scroll through their 2020 easter catalogue here i omitted the fruit peel husband not keen on it and didn t have the right attachment for my piping tube to get the crosses as flat as i d like but who cares they tasted brilliant plenty of cinnamon and spice and all things nice just add lot of butter and a hot cup of tea and don t look at the scales it s only bad news posted by susan moore at 3 04 pm no comments labels baking coronavirus easter food home tuesday march 24 2020 remote working my top five tips i have worked from home full time for almost 10 years now and in that time i ve learned a lot about how to do it successfully but for many people currently in self isolation or working remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic it may be the first time they ve worked from home or at least the first long term remote work stint for them so i thought i d share my top tips get used to being on video not all of us are comfortable being on camera i confess it s not my favourite thing but i am a convert in almost 14 years with my current employer i have had regular video calls with my manager and my team who are all based in other countries until the last year or so it was mostly optional now almost every meeting i am involved in is a conference call using video often with 10 or more people on the call being able to see people helps to build relationships and reduces the temptation to multitask or tune out during a meeting you can see reactions smiles and gestures which can make a big difference if you re a small business and don t have fancy collaboration tools skype or whatsapp work just fine do not work in your pyjamas it s the cliché about working from home that i hate the most apart from during a few 6am conference calls i can honestly say i have never worked in my pyjamas i get up shower wear proper clothes and make up it s a job and you will not feel professional or motivated in your pjs and related to the first tip above you may be invited to a video call at short notice and sleep or leisure wear is not a good look i usually go for the newsreader approach hair brushed makeup on and a professional top jacket paired with comfy jeans and ugg boots take breaks and move it s very easy to sit at your desk for hours and then realise you haven t moved i sometimes even forget to eat especially seeing as i often have meetings during normal lunch hours due to time differences with the us and asia set a reminder on your pc smartwatch or fitbit and make sure you get up and stretch regularly book exercise into your calendar having a dog means i walk for 20 minutes twice a day even if nothing else i also love my standing desk set up a work space where possible find a dedicated space for your pc and other work equipment ideally one that s not shared with your partner or kids recently i ve taken to moving to different locations in the house during the day just to mix it up and get a different outlook or to get the best background and lighting for that important video call stop at the end of the day i am much better at this than i used to be but it can still be a problem during peak periods however one of the top benefits of remote work is the flexibility in hours as long as you get the work done and deliver results agreeing what those are is a key to successful management of remote workers it s up to you to determine when and how especially in winter i usually stop work at 4pm to walk the dog before it gets dark then go back to work afterwards i might go out for a haircut or medical appointment during the day and make up the time later as long as i am meeting expectations that is fine i get much more done working from home than i do in the office so i don t feel guilty about taking time out remote work isn t new the technology is available and not hard or expensive to set up anymore it s not possible for all jobs of course and even for work that can be done remotely i understand it s not for everyone however i hope this current crisis serves as a wake up call to organisations large and small who still do not allow employees to work from home or other locations largely for cultural reasons or a lack of management maturity i m not unusual in the company i work for in a crisis our leadership team can tell all staff to take their laptops home and work from there indefinitely it s been useful more than once even as far back as during japan s earthquake and tsunami disasters in 2011 and it s proving critical in the extended and constantly shifting covid 19 crisis the view from my home office is pretty good despite the fly screen posted by
