 Well, I realise that this is well overdue so apologise for anyone who was waiting with baited breath for the next episode! There's a fair bit to catch up on so I'll keep it brief.

I made it back home on a flight with only 6 people on it and was well within the 48 hours given to return home. The hotel room reminded me of being in MIQ (Managed Isolation Quarantine) and breakfast being delivered to the door was the icing on the cake!I had managed to stock up on Pineapple lumps the evening before, so it really did make me reminisce.
