Rhythm is good. Not routine but rhythm. Running 3k per day, doing 30 mins stretching. Following the meal plan and cleaning schedule. Today my brain feels basically empty. It’s a good feeling, brought on partly by running and partly by having almost zero decisionS to make.

Is the lockdown the ultimate test of whether you’re an introvert or an extravert?

Just asked Dad if he would like me to buy some things for him in our Ocado order. His answer: 3 bottles of Tanqueray Gin!

We are speeding away in our spaceships. One family per ship. We look out of the window and the Earth as we know recedes. Now it looks like our moon, and then it’s just a tiny bright dot in space. How long will the journey take? At least three months, but it could be a […]

The girls have just finished school. Don’t know when they’ll be going back. Strange times. The end of term. I thought it would also be the beginning of something. I realise now, though, that it’s only an end. Or at best an inbetween. Izzy did a Zoom call with about 20 other girls – a […]

We stayed home all weekend. Izzy (understandably) didn’t want to go to gym. Anna’s netball matches were cancelled. The piano teacher did come over but I felt a bit guilty as I was still coughing a bit. Mark did go out today to Brent Cross which was apparently pretty quiet, with everyone looking a bit […]

I worked from home today. Normally I would have gone into work 2 days in the week, but given my cough I felt it would just be awkward on the tube and at work. Still wondering if what I’ve had could be covid-19. I didn’t have a temperature, but obviously the cough and did feel […]
