Quarantine Day 8

As I sit here, my quarantine extended just as a precaution, the UK announces it has an air bridge with Australia?!?! Am I living in an alternate universe to the British government? An air bridge with a country that doesn't even let it's own citizens in without 14 days (exactly) quarantine - and now Brits are being led to believe they can pop over for a vacation? It beggars belief!

I just spotted a sign on a freeway for Darling Harbour. I remember going there quite regularly many many years ago - concerts (no recollection who I saw), to get to Chinatown,  I even went to the IBM masquerade ball at Darling Harbour. It was the first or second year of my graduate recruitment programme. Oddly, I sat at a table with a group of English IT contractors. Gosh, never imagined back then I would become so well acquainted with Carnival.

Everyone is still smiling. Mario Kart racing seems to help. RingFit and JustDance are continuing to exhaust me. Man is still sitting outside the door. Our rubbish continues to mount up (will someone please collect it?) and catering are still mixing up our vegan delivery 😡 Reception tells me we're not the only ones complaining. Our breakfast is a bunch of green bananas and some pears, nothing else. Is this some kind of revenge?

Pretty pink sky at dusk....
