The Extreme Staycation

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown I'm kind of done with the news at this point. I check in every now and then and Twitter is good for the highlights, but there isn't really any "news" is there?  It's just sad figures, thousands of people - friends and relations who have died or it's people flouting the rules who seem to think they are above contagion. What concerns me is that there must be other stuff happening.  People are still working, albeit in their pyjamas at home.  There IS other news and it's not being reported.  What's going on under the radar that when we get through this, we will discover has happened?  I felt the same about Brexit - at least half of news broadcasts for 3 years were about bloody Brexit.  What else was occurring? I know that's a bit conspiracy theorist but I stand by it.

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown Following on from Thursday's blog, one thing I struggle to keep up with is the publications I subscribe to or am gifted second hand by friends.  My two biggies are The Stage newspaper and Empire Magazine. I really enjoy both, but because I read them pretty much cover to cover they take me ages to get through. I'm working on my back catalogue but particularly with The Stage, it's strikingly eerie reading the news section and what's going to be opening later this year, when so much has changed. I have occasionally looked at my pile and considered recycling the whole lot, but I know that there will be some great articles within them that I don't want to miss.  So I will plough on and one day, I might finish them.
