There's two apps that my local library is affiliated with, BorrowBox and LibGuide.

And so you just like download the apps, log in with your normal membership number and password, and they have a huge range of e-books and audio books.

So I've just been reading a lot of those and you can borrow them for up to like 20 days, have I think like five at a time and even reserve them for in the future.

So that's been a really good way to sort of keep busy, read.

I think I've read about 10 in the last three months, which is a bit ridiculous.

Yeah.

Yeah, exactly like that.

Yeah.

And so, um, because I think only like there's a limit on how many people can be reading it at one time.

So it might say like your book isn't available until December.

But if it's a really good book, I find that it's available so much quicker because people read it in less than allocated time.

Oh, okay.

No, it's a cool way to read, I guess.

And I think it'd be cool to continue even after lockdown.

Yeah, you can just read on your phone.

I like it.

My second one is starting to donate plasma at Lifeblood Australia.

I first donated whole blood in high school and then sort of forgot about it.

It was ineligible for a while.

But at the beginning of lockdown last year, I think I heard an ad on the radio about how they needed donors.
