I’ve been lucky, Covid didn’t hit me that badly. On day five my fever broke and most if my symptoms were lessening. On day six all I felt was occasional mild vertigo and yesterday even the vertigo was less intense. All I have now is the occasional phlegm. A gem I got introduced to while…

Covid day three: What I want to eat when I get out!
I awoke in the night with a really bad throat. It was reminiscent of the Contiki Cough I had in Europe, it hurt to swallow and that pain was enough to wake me when I had to swallow in my sleep. I was able to force down some ibuprofen but didn’t want a throat lozenge…
Covid day two: Kiwi Christmas Roast
What makes a kiwi Christmas? It’s an odd thing because traditionally Christmas was celebrated in the northern hemisphere where it was winter. As a result the foods which are eaten around Christmas are very heavy and hot, such as the traditional roast dinner. On my Mum’s side of the family it was always roast lamb…

I enjoyed the show and am…
Isolation day 33: Gendered Hobby Stereotypes
I have lots of different hobbies, some of which I spend more time doing than others. However, there are some of my hobbies which are stereotyped as ‘for women’ or ‘or men’. While I may be an introvert at heart (as shown by many of my hobbies being individual rather than group activities), and I…
Isolation day 32: Monster Hunter
I was introduced to Monster Hunter while at university. One of my groups of mates were gamers and whenever I went over they were playing some game or another. One year there was a Nintendo Wii with Monster Hunter Tri in the lounge and a couple of the guys were working together to beat the…
Isolation Day 31: Political Reflection
New Zealand is going down from Response Level 4 to Response Level 3 at 11:59pm Monday the 27th of May.

Here is my take on homemade miso ramen. The recipe serves one for dinner or two for lunch and only requires the use of one pot. Essential Ingredients Boiling water 1 200g pack of ramen noodles (your choice of thickness and style) 1 egg 2 sachets of instant miso soup (I prefer Marukome brand) Soy…
