Surreal landscapes

I'm not going to talk much about Corvid-19. There's enough madness out there without me adding to it. But as a quick reflection on what it's like for us - Cameron, Sarah and Daniel have been working from home since Wednesday of last week. The shops here are as bad as what we're seeing in Australia. Restaurants are only allowed to do take away, supermarkets have implemented allocations of food per person (2-3 of any item, depending on whether they're classified as high demand), and we've been hitting a few different supermarkets just to get everything we need from a weekly shop.

Things I've been doing while everyone's been working in the lounge:

  • Reorganised my side of the bedroom since the curtains we just put up are so long that it makes it hard to use the windowsill for anything more than a temporary work station. A good thing since it was getting very cluttered and too convenient of a dumping ground.
  • Ordered the new Disney+ service since that went live yesterday (Tuesday 24 March) and if we're going to be stuck at home together, we're going to need some more viewing options. Also, I did read the other day that Onward was getting released straight there sooooo kinda excited :P
  • Talked to CSD waaaaay more than I probably should since they're still technically 'at work' during the day....but it is so nice having company between 7-4.
  • Cancelled our accommodation in Brighton for the first weekend of April
  • Looked into an anniversary trip to Greece in November....fingers crossed this has all sorted itself out by then, yes?
  • .... to be perfectly honest, my days haven't changed all that much otherwise. I've been on the internet an awful lot (Amazon UK, Youtube, Facebook, Gmail and all my fave blogs have been copping so many hits), I've done a chunk of reading, scrolled a lot of Instagram, listened to a lot of birdsong and starred out the windows looking for squirrels, magpies, foxes and anything interesting that might be happening in the streets below.
