Not quite as bad a sleep as before, but as for yesterday, a continental breakfast, but this time, tinned apricots – which were very nice. Most of the other stuff I didn’t bother with then I spied a couple of magpies outside (no, not Notts County footballers) and one seemed to be more white than black. They were moving away so I chucked a couple of pieces of bread roll out onto the grass whilst I grabbed the camera. It seems they weren’t too keen on the bread roll either, as they left it, but a blackbird took it later.
Due to the demands of the day 3 Covid testing, no mid-morning exercise. Test duly carried out and an earlier than normal lunch delivery.
As mentioned earlier, there are 10 choices, A – J, and I’d chosen I, but somehow I got delivered J – noodles. A phone call to reception and a few minutes later, ‘I’ arrived – macaroni cheese and meatballs – and a can of lemonade. (I haven’t been drinking enough).
If it had been hot, it would have been excellent, but even an attack with the hair drier wasn’t enough to lift the temperature above mildly warm.
No afternoon exercise either, as the ‘green flight’ from Japan was scheduled to be processed from 1pm to 5pm. Quite why it would take that along, I’m not sure.
Another nana nap and dinner, so being Sunday, I’d chosen the beef, mash, vegetables and Yorkshire pud.
As with the lamb shank, beautifully tender beef brisket – and lots of it. I was full.
Dinner had arrived at 6:55 and exercise was open from 7pm, so I did just few laps out in the cool fresh air, but no one chatting.
As yesterday, a couple of phone calls to Paula, as she is also effectively isolated, whilst Auckland is still in lockdown level 3. Probably less fun for her than it is for me.
