And So… Lockdown 3

I may be a little late to the lockdown commentary, but better late than never?. WTF does that mean? Sometimes ‘never’ is better, as I get older, I realise that never going to a party is certainly better than, being late to a party…. and never experiencing tripe, is so much better than trying it in later life (that experience will never leave me…. 20 minutes of chewing and nowhere to spit it out… the joys of business dinners in China…) Anyway I digress and back to the reason I have finally returned to the world of periodic blogging (will try and achieve more than once in 8 months….)

My current lockdown observations..

1. Masks, a simple face covering, yet this brings out the moron in, what I’m sure in most cases are sane, level headed individuals. Just the mouth….NO!! And I don’t care if you want to call Josie whilst in Tesco to tell her, you’re in Tesco…. cover your bloody nose and mouth. Its like going out with your fly undone or just your socks… almost there, but not quite!
2. TV – I have developed a worrying obsession with The Chase…. thank god for Challenge…
3. Slippers – pre-Covid I had a slight obsession with shoes…. Now I am searching on line for slippers.. with no knowledge of when I will be able to squeeze my trotters into actual shoes (which are not of the hiking variety). Procrastinating over sheepskin or the full ‘practical’ granny option.
4. Wine – trying to limit consumption to just the weekend, means that my weekend starts on a Thursday.
5. Food – I find myself increasingly browsing cook books, making a new ‘dish’ then realising why restaurants exist… I miss going out for a meal that I didn’t have to cook or buy 25 ingredients for.
6. Food part II – my ‘spice cupboard’ is now full of unpronounceable herbs and spices due to no.5.
7. Clothes – I now own 15 hoodies and 12 pairs of running tights (never worn to run in) and I have also retreated to wearing jog pants after working from home during the day. My evening attire is elasticated and fleece … I am ashamed that the elasticated waistband is now a key part of my wardrobe.
