Day 10 - Wednesday 25th March 2020

Location: London, UK

COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak


Lockdown

 When presented with a large expanse of time I think it's human nature to try to fill it.

 I have loads of plans, things to do and I bet I won't do half of them.  Here are some I imagine we share:
  • Read those books/journals/magazines you don't normally have time to
  • Spend time learning a language
  • Finish that boxset
  • Pick up the instrument you always wanted to learn/have neglected since school
  • Garden
  • Filing
  • Get ahead on my tax return

 Part of the reason we won't do them is that actually we don't have any more time.  

  • Many people will still be expected to be working full time, just in their pyjamas, so there goes 8 hours.
  • Lots read on their commute - commute is a lot shorter: especailly if you have your laptop in bed.
  • Kids - usually they are at school for the majority of the day, now you have to be teacher/online learning enforcer and their after-school club
One thing we might get is a bit more sleep and the chance to sit in the garden more than normal and considering how glorious it's been I plan to take advantage of this.
This made me chuckle, some of mine are underneath and please write any below in the comments!

Mine so far:
  • My co-worker just vomitted in two places in the office
  • My co-worker just licked my face
  • My co-worker just sat on my lap for far longer than was comfortable
  • My co-worker just had a bath in the middle of the office, didn't care who was watching

1st November 2020

  Location: London, UK  COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak World Vegan Day 🌍🍃🐄🐔🐖 The 1st November is World Vegan Day. I have two thoughts on that - firstly, that every day seems to be National or World something day and secondly that for me, every day is VEGAN DAY 😁 As I have alluded to my veganism in this blog,  I thought   I'd let you know what lead me to this point. At the age of 8, I connected the dots that the meat on my plate and the animal in the field were very much connected and I couldn't bear the idea of an animal dying just so I could eat it.  Although I now have many more reasons which support my choices, animals dying was and still is my primary motivator for being vegetarian/vegan. I used to eat fish for a long time, but I could never eat a fish if it still looked like one and gradually I found I couldn't face the idea any longer. In 2014 I decided that for Lent that year it would be a good challenge to go vegan - I loved and ate dairy on a dai...

Day 150 - Wednesday 12th August 20200

  Location: London, UK  COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Certain people have always been a bit disgusting in the way in which they treat their surrounding. The number of surgical masks I see lying on the street every day is quite revolting.  Not only is it an act of pure sloth to just throw it on the floor without a care in the world for your environment, but surely in times when we are being asked repeatedly to wash our hands and use hand sanitiser it's an almost an act of aggression to disgard something potentially infectious in such a disdainful way? A plea therefore - please throw your salived filled masks in the bin, not on the floor.  Astonishing to have to ask really!

1st - 7th October 2020

  Location: London, UK  COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown If you have watched the TV show  Succession , then I think you may enjoy a three part documentary on BBC iPlayer about the Murdoch family called "The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty". It's a fascinating documentary about the family and the terrifying number of political connections and power wielded by the family. And if you  haven't  seen Succession - well, I think it was one of the best dramas of the last couple of years. Superbly acted, filmed and a great story full of pretty despicable people.  Great stuff!
