elusivekIt's Saturday. Still in lockdown. With Typhoon "Chaba" visiting us. It's strong enough to be a #8 signal. So I'm just holed up in my room.
I wonder if a Flickr video embed works the same? Anyway. Here's a trial video; if it's not a video, then I know Flickr doesn't do that, haha!
Ah, and the local gov't wants all residents to do these Rapid Antigen Tests (home tests), and yes, the government has provided these test kits too. I've been lucky and got this red boxed one, but there are complaints out there that some residents got some other brands that had: missing swab, missing "carrier liquid", missing test strip, false positive test results, and all that... so now the government wants us to take a photo of the test result with the box packaging. I usually include my watch to help state the time. The photo has to be uploaded onto the health code platform.
As it's typhoon #8, even the test centres are closed, the city is simply just... stagnant. However, Dad walked out for a bit just now and announced a very important news: The Chinese bakery is open. Good! Then I can get some toast bread, LOL!

Stay sage with the typhoon! Definitely not used to those here in Spain.

No worries! The typhoon wasn't too bad this time, thank the heavens!
