Like a lot of you, I'm doing home quarantine at the moment with Covid, and if you're in the same boat, I hope you're doing ok.

It's a strange thing knowing you'll get it at some stage, but then not being totally prepared for when it arrives at your house.

My wife's a teacher so she's around many different people every day, and we were sure she'd get it first.

After I had a Friday night with quite a few of my 6.4 per cent home brews, I thought my very slight headache and not feeling 100 per cent was due to my delicious hazy pale ale. But after playing a game of Saturday afternoon 3rd grade cricket for Pinnacle, and still not feeling right at 8pm that night, we tested my wife first because we thought she may have it, and me almost for a laugh. But it was the other way around with me positive and her negative; which is still the case three days later, and we've changed nothing with how we live, eat and sleep.

Since then, my 11-year-old son has Covid and my daughter too.

Day 4/5 for me today and I've gotta say, triple-vaxxed, I'm pretty much sailing through and feeling pretty good. It's feeling like a slight-medium head cold, but you go through stages of feeling really great, and then now and then a slight fever and just not feeling quite right. Compared to stories I've heard from friends that had Covid, I'm counting myself very lucky so far.

The Coles delivery truck from Rural View has stocked us up for the week, some friends have dropped off treats which we're very grateful for. Plus, the third test between Australia and Pakistan is on Kayo, so that's making home time pass a little quicker.

If one of your kids feels a little warm when you give them a hug, test them, because that's how we think it got into our home, and don't send them to school.

Stay well if you've got Covid.

Scotty
