Last sleep

Quarantine D13

Tonight is my last night in the wonderful “Home Inn”. So this morning I had the infamous double dipping covid test. For some reason we now have to have two separate complete oral and nasal covid tests that are submitted to two separate testing agencies – so it was double the discomfort. Does on ever get used to these tests?

  • Fresh Tomatoes
  • Last sunset
  • Quarantine bingo

Today was super busy at work, in fact I’ve just finished off now. Fresh tomatoes made their appearance both at lunch and as my dinner “fruit”. Heaven knows how much the people here think one small person is capable of consuming per day!

Related to yesterday’s post, listened to a wonderful podcast episode over lunch by Tara Bruch “Good Othering” definitely worth listening in the light of the idea of additive parenting and being.

And this daily blogging is exhausting! Wish I’d undertaken it during the break and not school time!

I’m currently living in Dubai, UAE, which is the latest in a long line of places I’ve been living in the last few years including China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, Netherlands, Italy, Luxembourg, and South Africa. I’m married with two adult children. Having lived around the world I’ve acquired quite a few languages and my big passion is bi/multi-lingualism and - culturalism, which I try to incorporate into my work, learning and essays wherever possible! I finished my MIS degree in December 2014 and my M Ed (Knowledge Networks and Digital Innovation) in October 2016. My murky past is in commerce and industry as a Chartered Accountant, doing a lot of random studying and learning and I’m currently working in an American School but have been a librarian PYP, MYP and IB in other international schools.

  2. But I am glad you did give us a daily update, Nadine, thank you. I have really enjoyed sharing (remotely) your isolation.
    Now if only I could have the same self-discipline about blogging…
    One more week?
