Managed Isolation/Quarantine, Auckland: Day 8 - 11 (11 - 14 September 2020)

 


Day 8
--ooOoo--

Waffles with caramalised apple, cream and jam for breakfast - yum!  Temperature checks were all normal again today.  Placed an online order for groceries in anticipation of returning late next week.

School work with the boys again.  They are doing well with this.  Sorted laundry for collection as today is the last day we can have it collected before we leave.

Exercise yard again today at 4pm.  Was lovely to get some fresh air.  Some rooms here have a window that opens, however we don't, perhaps because we face out onto the road.

Dinner was lovely again.  Cannelloni for me, kids had chicken nuggets, steamed vegetables and rice, Brad had a chicken salad.  Chocolate cake for dessert!

Watched Transformers movie on TV tonight which the boys enjoyed.  I managed to stay awake until the end haha!

Day 9
--ooOoo--

Video called with Harald and Ulli (Carina's parents) in Vienna this morning.  Was great to catch up with them.  We gave them an update regarding the car and caravan plates, and the parcel of Carina's items to be sent back from England to them.

School work again with the boys including reading and writing.

Temperature checks were all normal again.

Exercise yard at 2pm today.  Was nice to chat to another couple with younger children than ours.  They are moving to Christchurch from Sydney.  They had plans to do this in March but things have been delayed.


Video called with Brendon and Rae tonight and had 'drinks' with them.  Chatted for three or so hours.  Was really nice to just chill out on Saturday night with friends, all-be-it virtually.  Kids watched a movie.


Day 10
--ooOoo--

Lovely breakfast this morning - pancakes with poached pears, cream and maple syrup.  A savoury item for morning tea was also included which was nice.  Often the morning tea item is sweet, so it was just nice for a change.

Ordered meals for our final days in isolation.

Nurses came and checked temperatures.  They were all normal again.  Received forms for our day 12 Covid swab, which is actually happening on day 11, tomorrow.

We did some indoor activities in our room - Quarantine Olympics which was fun.

Gave the kids a day off school work today :)


Day 11
--ooOoo--

Nico slept late this morning! He was woken buly the nurses calling the phone in kids room to advise we were first up for Covid nasal swabs this morning - yay!  For Nico ad I the procedure wasn't as gentle as the day 3 ones, I guess it just depends what nurse you get!

Nachos for lunch today which was nice.  Brad had a salad.

I finished off making a necklace using my craft things I took away with me, and Brad arranged for our fibre to be connected etc. 

A few games of Uno today too.


Tikka masala for me for dinner tonight, Brad had another salad, boys had chicken nuggets/fish bites with steamed vegetables and rice.  Banana cake for dessert. 

Had a lovely surprise delivered from the hotel this evening - two mini bottles Lindauer and two fancy cupcakes along with a letter of thanks etc (see photo below).
