Thanks dingers, appreciate it.
Kind of eerie walking along the seafront and it being hot, sunny and the sea being calm for the first time in ages.
Working from home. Itās my friendās funeral today, which I canāt attend.
Have been buying coffee from the coffee shop by my apartment this morning to try and support the local businesses - the guy who is normally so chipper in the morning was so brutally depressed about his chances of staying open 
Back into the office after a week off sick.
196 unread emails to get through. Listening to some Gotterdamerung musique.
Beautiful morning, mind. Didnāt even mind spending 20 minutes with the footpump reinflating a tyre first thing.
Canāt even get in the queue on the phone to the doctors now, should have stayed on the line earlier 
Think it is a bit fucked because you canāt use any of their automated booking stuff rn so everyone has to go through reception, they really should have kept the electronic stuff on with a very clear message that it was just booking a phone appointment slot.

Iām basically okay, and all my loved ones are okay, am wfh, and basically not even slightly bearing the brunt of anything in the scheme of things thus far - and for that Iām extremely grateful.
That said, Iām feeling an existential panic at the moment, ngl. I have to get two buses to work every morning via a depot, and itās not the cleanest place at the best of times. Iām also in the process of buying a house, and what if the business I work for is pretty much fucked straight away? What if there are food shortages? Feel like I need to get offline as much as possible, but right now I genuinely donāt feel even slightly capable of that.
Put spoiler tags because itās just dread-posting on my part and all pretty mundane, and nobody needs to read it. Just needed to get it out there, slightly.
:'D
My Swedish colleagues are sending pics of their wfh set ups with their pets

Yesterday I punched myself in the face TWICE in a row. Once in the eye, then in my confusion and pain I chinned myself straight after

!!! Itās OK, I once got distracted singing a Prince song (might have been Raspberry Beret) while cleaning out my kitchen at UWE one morning in 2014 and whacked my head on the top metal plated corner of a cupboard door
OUCH 
Aye. At least I got a good tune accompanying it though. Though sadly it was a year too early for the existence of Want to Want Me.

Ive watched the fist episode before, thereās a very good line about someone breaking wind before they died in it.
