Sian Williams from Indonesia takes us through her week during the coronavirus pandemic.
After a brekkie of tofu scramble, I made a to-do list catch up from the weekend away and set off for my four-minute bicycle commute to the eco-shop I open once a week for eco-friendly supplies and zero-waste kitchen hacks for islanders - and the island's most extensive book swap shop.After feeding six out of 10 regular stray cats that are suffering and hungry from the lack of tourism, the shop was swept, cleaned and ready to open.
A quick stop at the island dump to get some footage of Indonesia's plastic waste problem. It is being highlighted next week by WWF in Norway. The dump is the reason why I started to live low-waste. To create rubbish and know where it ends up, is wrong on so many levels. Now we have a small under-counter kitchen bin which we empty every three to four months.Wednesday is Pituq weekly veg box pick up day.
Today is my Mum's 60th birthday. Really gutted as I was meant to be at home in England right now celebrating it with her, but travel is so unsafe and I don't fancy spending half of my allotted home-time in quarantine, so her 60th birthday will now be rescheduled to next year. Sorry, Mum! The whole island was awake to a 04:00 power cut. Luckily, early enough to wake up to check out the sunrise again. Once again, it didn't disappoint!Zoom yoga is FREE today! Denise, my instructor, set up a 10-class islander pass . Covid times are biting down hard but this community is so supportive trying to keep options open for everyone to stay sane whilst we are not working.
