Quarantine Day 7

I'm feeling rather sore today. Guess it's from the exercise. Who would have thought battling cute little coloured monsters could be such hard work? But despite the aches and pains, it really is helping. I've always considered myself fairly fit and healthy, walking my dogs every day. But working up a sweat isn't something I usually do. The physical exertion makes me feel good mentally, and I'm sleeping a lot better. Apart from that, I can annoy others with my choice of Just Dance songs. Today's selection included Satisfaction, Hit the Road Jack, and Heart of Glass.

Today we sat out on the balcony and ate our sushi rolls for lunch. It was warmer and the sun was shining. We find ourselves studying life below on the streets. Some people are sitting out on a rooftop cafe that has been empty until now. Three men are walking about on top of a roof - I'm curious to know what they're up to. Am I turning into a voyeur?

Someone spots a tram. Can't be, I say, there isn't trams in Sydney. I always associate trams with Melbourne, and they weren't in Sydney when I lived here (would be nearly 24 years ago). Apparently there were trams in all Australia cities once, but most removed them in the 60s. Dad said it was a shame they weren't in Brisbane anymore, he'd liked the convenience of hopping on and off them. Look - it's definitely a tram. Hmmm indeed... not a traditional looking one, but a modern interpretation and definitely a tram. I'll go and see if I can take a photo....
