I thought the food you were offered in Australia was bad, but the food you're getting in your home country is even worse. Don't understand why you are being offered so much "junk" - ie, chips and cakes. If I recall correctly, you spoke to a dietician in the Australian hotel, is there one available for you here in your NZ hotel? But looking at the positive side, you are nearly at the end of your first week, you "passed" your Covid test, and you are able to leave your room, even if only for short periods.<br /><br />You are one tough cookie (that's a compliment!), and you will get through this. <br /><br />A Fan in CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-15745942611485793562020-11-04T19:29:02.942+13:002020-11-04T19:29:02.942+13:00I do wish people wouldn't assume all "for...I do wish people wouldn't assume all "foreign" cuisine is good cuisine. You don't need curries and middle eastern food and rice and naan. You need snags and spuds and peas and sauce. Or the kiwi equivalent. And if the food is halal how the hell did you end up with bacon? Just as well you're not Muslim or Jewish assuming all food can be eaten. Unless it wasn't real bacon.

I was hoping the food would be better this time considering you get to order in advance but then if the choice isnβt great it doesnβt really help! Hang in there. I live in Sydney, Australia and feel very lucky that I donβt have to travel countries or states as Iβm palliatively caring for my mother in her final days. Very draining. I can only imagine what you have and are growing through.

I am a loyal Coronation Street watcher, but I think I'd struggle to watch that many episodes in such a short space of time - well done you!! Great idea by Tania above ... you might as well keep the snacks too even if you don't want to eat them - whatever you have left at the end of your stay, take home to feed to grandkids etc when visiting. It's a shame the food has been so inconsistent and not so much to your liking. We had one of the Wellbeing Advisors from the Managed Isolation Team here in Christchurch talk at our work's AGM on Monday - was very interesting, and there have been some incredibly sad situations faced by many. I think there is so much more going on behind the scenes than we sometimes realise - it was certainly an eye opener for me, even after hearing quite a lot from yours and a couple of friends' experiences. I didn't get a chance last night to comment, but watching that wee video of you interacting with Lacy and Griffin almost had me in tears - it must have been so nice for you to see immediate family so close after weeks of not seeing them in person. Silly sook, aren't I?
