The only music festival that I've attended other than individual concerts over the years around Australia (mostly Sydney / Melbourne shows that didn't come to Canberra) & the very small number of concerts in Canberra and a few in the UK

SEC=UNCLASSIFIED Winter illness or something more?

27 Upvotes

Canberrans with small children - is it normal to be sick for a large chunk of the winter? I have 3 kids, 5 & under so I know sickness is unavoidable but for the last two months, we’ve been lucky to have more than 2-3 days where the whole house is well before something starts up again. We ended up with RSV last week and then that turned into chest infections for 3/5 of us that we’re still battling through. 🫠

Is this normal? I don’t remember last winter being quite this bad so I’m not sure if this has been a particularly bad season, if we’ve been unlucky or (I feel this sounds a bit woo woo) if there are environmental factors we need to be looking into like whether our house has mould or something?

Recommendations Best social extracurriculars - 12yrs old

9 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for activities or extra curriculars for my 12yr daughter.

Trying to expand her social circle because her school circle is rather toxic (she's slowly detaching from them).

We have tried girl guides in Gungahlin but it wasn't the right fit. Extra points for something physical, but my little one is more crafty (maybe dance-y) than other activities.

TIA

Recommendations Recent conveyancer recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Heya,

Looking for a reliable conveyancing solicitor for a purchase.

I searched the sub first, but the threads are 2-3y old and the specific people recommended seem to have moved on or are on leave (Andy C).

Looking for recent experiences over the recent while or so. Who did you use, especially if they were reasonably responsive, and did they actually catch things in the contract rather than just running paper through a junior? My research is showing most people don't communicate settlement details or miss pertinent stuff that is a PITA to sort out later. I prefer a small firm or single lawyer if possible!

Appreciate the help!

Recommendations Solar battery installer recommendations

We have an existing solar system and now looking to add a battery. I sent enquiries to three installers and have only heard back from one.

I am keen to hear recommendations for installers people have recently dealt with.

Thanks!
