One Week Done!

 



We have one more week in the Isolation Hub in Winnipeg.  Today we were outside for an hour and a half walking to get fresh air and came back with very rosy cheeks.  That was 20 laps of the parking lot. It was only about -14 outside.  Nothing to Whale Cove which is -34 with the windchill today!  Just in case you were wondering, the Premier of Nunavut, Joe Savinkataaq was just on to ensure one and all that no Nunavummiut politicians travelled over the Holidays.

    Savinkataaq...Say that five times fast! Why the extra 'A" at the end...just to make it look symmetrical? Just an old isolated American commenting..Can you blame me for knowing nothing about the world when all I see on the media down here are MAGA hats and people with beards and bellies yelling "F_you Fake Media!"...Hope things will be better soon....pray for us.

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!
