Scott Morrison celebrates his birthday solo with cheesecake and new shoes
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has joined millions of other Aussies in having to celebrate his birthday amid the coronavirus outbreak.
While it's not quite the iso-birthday celebration others may have experienced earlier in lockdowns, the politician did have to mark the day whilst away from his wife Jenny Morrison and their daughters.
"While Jen and the girls are now back in Sydney, it was nice to hear from them this morning, and thanks for the new shoes," he wrote on Facebook, sharing a shot of his new RM Williams boots.

However, the 52-year-old did have one special visitor in person on the day - his mum, Marion Morrison.
The pair were photographed looking at a picture of the PM's late father, John Morrison, who died in January at the age of 84.
The portrait was a gift "from a dear friend", the PM revealed.

ScoMo also received a raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake, with the words "Happy Birthday PM" scrolled across the plate.
And he also was gifted merchandise of his beloved NRL team, the Cronulla Sharks, receiving "new Sharks toothbrushes".
"Thanks for all the kind birthday wishes today," the PM wrote.
