When watching movies like Shawshank Redemption or Cool Hand Luke, have you ever wondered whether you could tolerate solitary confinement? As a devout introvert, Darcie assumed that she would survive, if not flourish. Reality has proven otherwise. Even in the comfort of our hotel room, which includes internet, cable tv, A/C, and a little room for pacing, we are going bonkers.
We were thrilled to walk the 0.2 miles to the post office to mail our Days 2 & 8 Covid testing kits! BTW, the self-swab routine was not fun. You swab the back of your throat and your nasal cavities with the same swab (THROAT FIRST). The instructions also tell you to:
During quarantine, we also ordered grocery delivery from Tesco, and spent time researching ingredients of oddly named dishes like Toad-in-the-Hole (sausages in Yorkshire pudding-which-is-not-really-pudding), Spotted Dick (another type of pudding), Bubble and Squeak (potatoes and cabbage), and various meals of the pie family: Cottage, Fish, Shepherds, etc. We tended to order a lot of Indian food, which was familiar and at least flavorful. Sorry, flavourful. Occasionally a pint of Ben and Jerry's would also make it into our basket, although Cherry Garcia was nowhere to be found.
