So it’s been a while since I’ve written. Sorry if anyone was worried again. Truth is it’s getting harder and harder to write because my mindset just isn’t great. Well the coronavirus numbers in China are slowly declining which is good. There are still new cases but a lot less. Hopefully some normality will beginContinue reading “Day 31 – don’t take pre-workout before bed”

So over 100 people died overnight and the mortality rate is curre tky at 13 percent. Now that’s out of the way. I’ve had a slightly more positive day. My energy has still been very tired and exhausted but I have felt a bit better in myself. We went out today to go to theContinue reading “Day 27 – Be kind.”

Woah! Long time no see. Sorry for not posting but I was taken by the government! Just kidding. But the government did take down all of the VPN’s which means until literally about an hour ago there was no access to the outside world! At all. So what I miss? Got some catching up toContinue reading “Day 26 – abducted by the government”

So you know the drill. 200 more dead and 20,000 more have been infected. This is due to China testing people more thoroughly. Funnily enough people don’t believe the death count already, but this also means it isn’t accurate as they are looking through old tests and checking for things they weren’t before. So patientsContinue reading “Day 20 – Ghostville”

So day 19 in the big brother house. I start my morning routine. What else but googling how many people died last night? Another 100. Up to 1113. Although there was a strange moment last night so weird I thought it was a dream. Well not so much weird as frightening. At about 1am IContinue reading “Day 19 – mighty morphin meatballs Batman?!”

So I’ve decided to write another post today as it is day 18 today. I’m going to write these towards the end on the same day now rather than the morning after. So! T-o-d-a-y. I got to have an extra nap in bed (thanks Emily) because yes I’m a grumpy old man. Now at theContinue reading “Day 18 – the good, the bad and the chili.”

The big starve may sound like a joke but in actual fact is was quite accurate. We had rationed our food down to the last bit and after a holiday, this virus, things were running low. Now usually pay day is at mid day on the 10th. However, because of this virus (argh) the layContinue reading “Day 17 – The big starve”

Ok so day 16, where to start. For starters I feel sorry for Emily. She has been emotional.. Probably because of me. No, definitely because of me. I’ve been ill with flu for almost a week then last night I got a cough and that was that. End of her rope. But she carried onContinue reading “Day 16”

‘Time flies when you’re having fun.’ That may be true but time almost stands still in isolation. We’re on day 15 here and I would be lying if I said we weren’t getting a little weird. Sitting next to each other all too often me and Emily will ask each other questions like, ‘if IContinue reading “Day 15”

Hello! This is my first blog post. And it’s going to be on anything and everything going on in my life in China. So let’s set the scene a little first. Firstly my fiancée already has a blog so some of what has been covered will be mentioned here, she has requested this be listedContinue reading “Welcome”
