...Whoa, I'm half way there!
That's right, for those keeping track on my handy chart I've completed 6 days, and have 5 days to go! In honour of this milestone, I've adapted a some words from the great Jon Bon Jovi.
Whoa, we're half-way there
Whoa, [quaran]'tining' on a prayer
DON'T Take my hand, we'll make it. I swear
Whoa, [quaran]'tining' on a prayer
I was going to rewrite the whole song, but it got old by the time I got to second verse.
It's coming home...
I've been getting up early to watch Euro 2020 (European Football Championship). I feel a bond with it, because like me it got weigh-laid by COVID. I really like that they didn't even bother to change the name... Euro 2021?
Surprisingly, England are doing well and are into the final of a major tournament for the first time since '66. Mid-Sunday morning through my window, I saw an England support in his 60s staggering down the middle of the road, singing "It's coming home!" I'm not sure what he was singing about, I'm home and its not that great.

I've been working away at my desk everyday this week, its not like I have much else to do. I sit there, windows open looking out into the clear blue sky of a glorious Queensland winter. Yesterday, at the end of the day, I looked down and realised my legs were sunburnt. Only a ranga like me could get his legs and feet burnt in winter.

Playlist for tonight
Continuing on the musical theme, I've built a quarantine playlist.
Disclaimer - I don't know all of these songs, just the titles fitted my joke.
If you have any suggestions to add to the playlist, I'm all ears. Comment below.
UPDATE - Massive thanks to Pete for all the songs
PS. Happy Birthday Dad.
