Week 11 - Isolation

What a sad state the world is in at the moment.

I have taken the Friday off work and dealt with a couple of housekeeping issues, taking my cat to the vets and banking a foreign cheque. Neither of which had the desired outcome, although neither of them were a disaster. The cat still has an ear infection and I have to wait to see if the cheque deposit was successful, although I did learn how to pay in cheques in the future.

The garage door is still broken and we are yet to hear from the insurers how much they will pay towards its replacement, as they requested a second quote. In the meantime, we have arranged for security during the night to help stop people wandering inside.

I'm on to my third mobile data service, after trying out a prepaid service on Vodafone, I have signed up to them and will transfer over this month, and then cancel the Circle of Life (Optus) service before the end of the month. The Vodafone is on a month by month contract so I can cancel that one if necessary.

Monday is a public holiday and I have thought about booking a trip to Sydney for my birthday (assuming interstate travel is up and running again by then). I did take public transport for the first time today and it was easy to avoid people travelling in the middle of the day and only two stops on the train.

I am enjoying learning Norwegian, although I am far better at reading it than hearing it or even speaking it.

I mourn the lack of human compassion. Instead of seeing a forest, stop and look at the trees, please.
