We’re saved.
Season 6 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been released on Netflix.
Don’t worry, Aussie Government, we’re now sufficiently distracted for the next few days from publicly shaming you for your useless responses to our situation. You can now continue “working around the clock”, which I suspect is code for “not doing much at all really”, in peace.
(“Working around the clock” is part of our #StuckInPeru drinking game. Other triggers for drinking include “working with Peruvian authorities”, pointing us in the direction of an exorbitant private charter, and the cancellation of aforementioned charters. Lucky we’re not actually playing the game because we’d be rollickingly drunk.)
Isolation continues to be … isolating. We only book Airbnbs for three nights at a time to give us something to do every fourth day. The latest one is a super breezy 15th floor apartment. With Netflix. But no coffee machine (don’t worry, we have a workaround).
We continue to spend time on big cooking adventures (Jack is doing a lasagne tonight!), morning Yoga with Adriene sessions, post-lunch card games, and endlessly scrolling in hope of actual news from our embassies.
Heather made a really interesting point last night, which I hadn’t previously grappled with. She noted that our quarantine experience is different because we’re not stuck in a home with all our possessions – we just have what’s in our backpacks and no more. We do our yoga on towels and camping mattresses. We have a few notebooks and pens that we bought over here. We don’t have much else. I haven’t felt lacking over the past week, but this idea made me realise how different quarantine in my own home would be.
“Australia: Where Are You?”: The Musical is coming along a treat. Act One ends with the announcement of the lockdown and all the travellers singing “#StuckInPeru” and Act Two opens in a similar place. It continues to write itself, with the other day’s second announcement of the airport closure going to be a reprise of “We’re Totally Closing The Borders”.
