Rest of the day was fairly casual, ordered dinner in from a local favourite restaurant, watched Homeland. Did arrange a House Party with a few friends from England for next weekend. Sounds like everyone is getting cabin fever.

Woke up today to the sound of a jack hammer outside the window. There was a time about a year ago where there was constant construction outside our apartment and waking us up early. However much we hated that, being woken early by that noise today felt like a little bit of normality.
