So here we are settled into our quarantine routine. We have an app that doesn’t pretend to do anything other than track our location. When the “Please register” msg pops in we have 5 minutes to take a selfie that proves we are where we are supposed to be. I don’t know what happens if you don’t take the selfie…perhaps the police arrive with sirens blaring!

It’s just the same as our self-isolation last year really. Except we’ve got D1 here to do our shopping and don’t have to wipe everything down with disinfectant! Bless her, its as close as we get to another human being!

I broke out the sourdough starter

made a fruit cake

and did some gardening. Our tomatilloes fretted so badly in our absence they turned brown, or maybe that was the wind.

Neverthe less we managed to harvest enough to make a pot full of salsa verde

I have cooked nourishing food to keep us healthy in quarantine

Friends have come bearing gifts, yummy sausage rolls for afternoon tea

and we have a regular coffee delivery

I read a new story for our beautiful granddaughter

and of course there is always our beautiful view to remind us how lucky we are. Hopefully the dark clouds on the horizon are not a portent of times to come!

Keep safe everyone!
