I was beyond thankful and grateful when I got the call to come get the Moderna jab – RIGHT NOW. As a forty something, I’m not particularly in any major risk group (beyond being a modest smoker), but I did get the nod from medical friends. “We have a certain amount leftover each day from […]
Category: Lockdown life
A full month later
We were a little ahead of most when it came to self isolating and locking down. We saw the winds a blowin’ and were settled in earlier than most. It’s been a full month in this household of battening down the hatches and watching on aghast at seemingly smart types proudly posting a picture of […]
Getting back to normal
Amidst all the current talk of flattening the curve, there’s increased talk of getting back to normality. Getting back to a life that’s not sequestered. Living large, not living locked. It all strikes me as rather misguided though. After all this, what exactly will normal be? Do people really expect to wake up one day, […]
I knew I was abnormal but damn

Lockdown hobby 131, annoying the dog

How you’ve been washing your hands wrong your entire life
Alan Partridge was way ahead of the game on this one.
A pointed stick

Crazy. That was followed by rigorous aftershocks. The same day the pound/dollar rate collapsed crashing my […]
Even on the greyest of days
From the garden this morning. Spring doing its thing.
The Platform – yes, yes, yes, we get it guy
Watched The Platform on Netflix last night. I’m particular fond of movies that showcase our dystopian future – or some might joke – our ever increasing reality. It’s a pretty bleak movie, which I also rather enjoy time to time, like enjoying an overcast drizzly day. The concept is simple, the platform itself is a […]
Middle class much?
As lockdown life continues, today’s nadir. Oh my god. We’re out of capers. I’d clasp my hands to my face in Edvard Munch homage if it wasn’t for the fact that’s a certain way to die now.
