Isolation in Winnipeg- Days One and Two


On our first day in isolation we needed to carefully follow the signage about safety as posted on the elevator to be allowed outside to walk in the bright Winnipeg sunlight! 

It was beautiful out and our friend Sandra Herbst drove by to wave and left us some lovely Christmas cookies.  

Today- Ian has awoken with a runny nose and feeling cold-like crappy so he is off for a COVID test.  Fingers crossed he has just picked up a cold, as lovely as it is we don't want to be in our two room hideaway any longer than necessary.

Good news today for New Years'.  Ian's Aunt Lu who lives not too far away will be dropping by homemade wine to assist us to celebrate the end of 2020.  

See you in the New Year.

    Well that was an interesting test. I had no idea there was that much room up my nose! Guess my brain's not as big as I had originally thought.

Sundays in Whale Cove

Image
This was our first Sunday in our new home!  We went for a walk down to the harbour and there was a great view of Hudson Bay!  It was a windy Day.  The Weather App told us that with the wind chill it was -42 celcius!  Kids were tobogganing without covered faces.  Everyone who goes by waves and says hello!   We discovered that the COOP which is the one store in town is not open on Sundays, so we decided to head back after we stopped at the Bay. Then we had a call from the DEA secretary. She is the District Educational Authority secretary.  Sort of like a local set of Trustees.  Her daughter works for CALM Air and had let her mother know that our shipped goods had arrived.  So  Agatha, the secretary called the local bus driver and asked him to fire up the bus and head to the airport to pick up our stuff.  We have no vehicle and the airport is about 7 km away.  The other option we would have had was to check what the local RCMP was up to because they are happy to help with airport pick ups

Covid Test for Ian is negative

Image
  Ian's Covid test came back negative which is a relief.  We are allowed to go outside to walk in the back parking lot supervised while he has symptoms but can't walk at the front where we might see other people and come into contact with them.  We did 20 laps this morning that worked out to just over 5 km with our awesome new boots on! Meanwhile, we spend lots of our time indoors studying the Nunavut Education Documents.  They are really interesting.  I have been looking into what is called "Land Based Instruction" and came across the list below.  Clearly we will be learning a lot!
