Have we done this? What projects are you hoping to start / complete during lockdown?
Creative (writing, drawing, music), practical (DIY, fixing, clearing out), social (groups or community work).
This is a dreadful situation, but hopefully - for those without health or financial concerns - an opportunity to take stock and spend time on projects. Let’s give each other ideas… Whatcha doing?
Mainly just sitting in my pants, worrying and trying to muster up enough energy to go urinate.

Gonna still be at work then possibly doing some stuff at the foodbank. Don’t go out much anyway tbh. Might watch The US Office and Veronica Mars again.
It’s kind of like last year*, when I booked a whole month off work, and had the house to myself, to finish off my revision for my final accountancy exams.
I made spreadsheet timetables, outlook notifications of study maps, I even planned my food shopping and prep so I would have all the time possible to study. Not only was I going to pass, the accountancy body were going to ring me and tell me they wanted to interview me for a magazine they’d just created in my honour because I was so fucking good.
I spent four weeks watching Homes Under The Hammer and masturbating.
*but nothing like that at all obviously

So many projects I could do but I doubt I’ll make much of any of them with a three year old running a mock.
Wanted to do a fake March Madness bracket for the DiS basketball fans but I don’t think I have the spreadsheet skills to make it work

How many do you think you’ll make?
Making a list of films and TV shows to watch in the evenings
Bought a bunch of Stellaris DLC so going to play loads of that
Also found a fun map to make a Miami-type city on Cities: Skylines so planning on getting stuck into that
I was hoping to use some work time to do some free online courses about economics / politics / political economy but I suspect I’m getting moved onto something relating to the ongoing crisis as soon as Wednesday, so it’ll probably be high stakes work and fun evening stuff as above exclusively
Been making fruit juices out of different fruit each day and then sending pictures to my pals. Looks like it’s gonna be apple (braeburn) tomorrow!

I’m seeing DIY getting mentioned - are DIY type shops going to be allowed to stay open? - I also have DIY I could be doing, dunno
Hardware shops are on the essential list I think.
This reminds me that I promised R that Thursdays will be smoothie day. Last week was mixed berries and banana. This week probably mango (frozen), pineapple (tinned) and banana.
Itis excitement for him, and a way to use past their best bananas for me (as egg shortages mean I can’t rely on them going into banana cake)
