Another 3 days and then on the 4th day I am free as much as I can be. I will have to go down to the Brew and see if I can get some money off the government. I had started and application last week but could not complete it because I needed to show my face at the office which I can’t do because I am in quarantine, catch 22. I am not sure why I had to go down because they have all my information and know where I have been, in fact it is quite scary just how much information that they do have and yet I still need to go in person which now will be more difficult because every man and their dog is going down to seek some reddies.
After breakfast I go for a wee stroll around the block which I think is acceptable and then I come home, have a shower if I’m too smelly, and then ease into the day. I sometimes write as I am doing today or I will read but I try not to eat too much, which is quite difficult when confined within these four walls. For some reason the hunger pangs come round too quick and so I am looking forward to next week when I can go further afield. The TV stays off, although sometimes while having lunch I’ll stick it on but I don’t want to become a couch potato. Next week I’ll be able to go to the supermarket and I’ll just walk there and back, mind you I don’t have a choice……..no car.
I’ve been thinking about China the last few days and wishing that I could catch up with friends for coffee or go for lunch together because Suzhou has opened its doors once again and life is beginning to return to normal. I really do miss the Chinese food, there is such a variety on offer, but I am also enjoying Catherine and Stuart’s home cooking. So many different flavours that I have not had in donkeys.
All movements between states have been curtailed and you can now only cross the state lines if you have a valid reason which at the moment I don’t. Australia is going into total lockdown and as long as people listen to the government and respect the new rules we will still be able to go outside for fresh air, go to the shops and have limited freedom which is better than many other countries. So here’s hoping the eejits listen.
But I am finding it amusing listening to the Great American Leader “Trump” who with every day brings more laughter to the table. You could not write this stuff, he is being absolutely fantastic and with every day we get a taste of the real child behind the public persona. Even his allies are struggling to back his outrageous thoughts but you know the Americans wanted him and they got him and now he is going to kill them. Is this Karma?
I can’t wait to watch “Trump the movie” Trump on Broadway” “I’m going around the Trump” He has given the world so much amusement in recent weeks as he stumbles over every word, the child within is shining through. Many things have been done to bring Trump down over the last few years but no one has had any success even although the proof is there staring everyone in the face, so let’s hope that Covid19 is his nemeses and brings him to his knees………literally.
