Australia’s Hotel Quarantine is 14 days locked in a hotel room. Some hotels had balconies but mine didn’t, so no fresh air. Eye drops helped with the constant air conditioning.
3 times a day there was a knock and a meal bag left outside the door. We had to wear a mask to open the door and wait a couple of minutes, so I never saw the delivery person.




The food was actually very good, tasty healthy meals, plenty of vegetables, salads and fruits.
A valuable tip was to take my own cutlery, plate and sharp knife. I was grateful that I followed this suggestion as plating up the meals rather than eating from the carboard or plastic containers made a big difference.



We had a daily phone call from a nurse, to check how we were doing, our physical and mental health.
On Day 6 my daughter SE dropped off a parcel for me. She and the grandkids then waved to me from the street below my 11th floor window. Such a lovely surprise. I had kid art to brighten up my walls, plus other treats. Flowers from my husband. The days passed by.







Did you enjoy The Giver of Stars? We read it at book group a few months ago and everyone liked it.

Yes, I did enjoy it. A history I had never thought about before, sharing books in such remote areas and times.

Lols Jude. No I had lots of time to prepare for HQ so I bought several books, just had to save them and not read them all during UK winter lockdown 🙂

Looks like you were well prepared for quarantine. I like the orange and yellow painting. Glad the food was good. Wiling away the time to make these photographic memories as a project is a great idea.

I enjoyed the daily photo challenge and trying to find something different for each day.
