Life During Lockdown

I did two listening parties last night (Pulp and New Order) and am about to do two more (Martin Stephenson and Suede). This is how my evenings are now. I also made sweet and sour mock-pork for the first time which was really tasty. I think tomorrow’s exercise will be cycling.

More decluttering today (and cleaning the kitchen). I was stung by a wasp (it hurt but I’m ok now), and am rediscovering more old music through the Twitter thing Tim Burgess is doing and also picking and repicking my 10 influential records.

Went for a long walk this morning and then did decluttering and tidying in the afternoon. I am a lot happier with the living room now being a place to escape from the room I work in (which used to be where I would escape from the world).

I cycled today. It was great. I might do it again tomorrow, but will certainly try and fit in 2 decent rides a week as my daily exercise for that day.

I also listened to the new record by The Strokes (on Spotify, not an actual record). I like it.

Another sunny day, but I’ve not felt great for most of it (no idea why). I’m now off work for 10 days so will need some sort of new routine to keep me sane.

I had a good catch up with Laura today. The sun was beautiful and I took delivery of 2 new monitors, a case of wine, and some snacks. Tomorrow we should get a fruit and vegetable box.

We have 2 extra days off work at Easter (so 4 extra days without structure). I don’t know how I feel about that yet, but I think I may need an Easter project.
