    How are you?

    This can be pandemic related or whatever. I don't think we had a rate your year over Christmas did we? Time for a catch up.

    I'm good so far. Everyone in my life has stayed well, I'm glad I'm still getting out to work. Our kids at work aren't being affected badly by covid. All the time off is giving us the chance to get the house sorted.

    One surprisingly big downer is we don't have a sofa

    I'm OK. Although going in to the office 5 days concerns me re getting the virus, it has at least staved off cabin fever, which, living alone, is a real concern. If this goes on for any period of time, or I get furloughed later, I am quite worried about getting properly lonely.

    I am normally a sort of lone wolf anyway but I have cricket which gives me a full friendship group and 3/4 social occasions every week for half the year. That is currently wiped out so I'm a bit worried about mental state.

    Doing well. I live alone and am 16 days in now. I'm a sociable person, so am missing people and just being out of the house, but coping with it fine. I've got an easy mental crutch to fall back on though, which is I've suffered enforced isolation before in more difficult personal circumstances

    So long as a loved doesn't die I'll be sound. Touch wood.

    You can’t be totally lonely with technology. So long as the wife, parents, and sister survive then the rest of it can ask my bollocks. There’s been more about bloody mental health during all this than actually avoiding the killer virus.

    Yeah, I wondered if I'd drop back into an unemployment malaise but, given that this is only temporary, I'm treating it as an extended break.

    I just had a humongous shit that not only left me feeling a few pounds lighter but I legit had to unblock the toilet afterwards so other than the close scare of overflowing, I feel pretty darn alive.

    Could be better if you finished your 50 albums of the decade.

    You probably help, somehow. But I can text with my actual friends as well. It's the being together that I think will be missed. I've already forgotten how to speak.

    I'll get it done. Felt a bit like the moment had passed, and it got oddly harder to elucidate why I liked albums as I got further up the list.

    I love working from home. Spend like three hours preparing my course and then the rest of the day I play videogames. I could do this full time.

    I got tagged in a suicide selfie on Facebook today so all will be well now. Phew, all those urges to leap out the upstairs window because I'd to watch TV are eased.

    I'm ok. Used to having an extended period off work, although I'm also used to being able to fill my time with projects around the house, which is much harder to do at the moment. Did just finish painting the mantlepiece which has been sat around for the last ...4 years? Or so. One of those jobs that never quite made it to the top of the list. Just got to fit the fucker now.

    I'm doing fine, so far. I hardly miss anyone, so the lockdown has mostly just confirmed for me how anti-social I am. Though I'm not sure I'd say the same thing if I lived alone instead of with my girlfriend; I guess the daily routine interactions do help a lot.

    Being able to go out more in this weather (20 degrees the whole week) would be nice, however.

    I've met up with a couple of friends down the beach and for a cycle as things aren't so strict over here. I don't really crave social contact much anyway, so the only thing that was stressing me out was the lack of motivation to work, but I'm getting to grips with that. I've also managed to stop eating everything, so now I'm rooting for an extended lockdown.

    Pre-Tinder it was good for shagging, not sure now as it's been a while. Probably still decent for talking to women who think themselves above dating apps.

    I am also not on Facebook. I'm just not that interested in what all the people I don't give a shit about have to say or what they're doing.

    And I got over arguing on the internet about 20 years ago.

    My sleep schedule is completely out of whack now, today I woke up just after 1pm and had cheerios and slightly stale birthday cake for 'breakfast'. On the other hand all the weed is gone now so lockdown is about to get far more tedious but possibly a bit more productive.

    I don't really know anybody that posts on Facebook regularly anymore. It's more for pages and events as most people have shifted to Instagram for their inane bollocks. Then there's the odd group where old people lose their shit over stuff. For example, the other night some woman in Jersey got into a text argument with a bloke that fixed her fence or something. He started getting quite abusive so she uploaded the pictures to a group slating the business. Turns out he's a pedo, and then the local pedo hunter got involved. You just don't get that anywhere else.

    I've just this second secured a half which will my first smoke since the end of November-ish. Just the smell of it is making me feel funky.

    My cigarettes were meant to be getting banned as of next month so I was planning on just giving up other than when out drinking but the ones they’ve replaced them with to dodge the ban are better. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

    They look like joints with their brown skins and are in 10 decks with the proper logos and not that brown colouring they all changed to the other year.

    I think it's day 49 for me, by my calculations. I've been doing great but it's 3am and I just spent approximately 20 minutes doing a Taxi Driver/La Haine routine in the bathroom.

    My sleep schedule is back to the same madness it was when I was furloughed. Speaking of Taxi Driver, I gave a lockdown haircut a shot. Trimmed the back with some scissors and it feels rough but looks passable. I hope my local barber's not gone under, though.

    I still get to see people (Sweden) but the amount that I just sit and have conversations with myself has absolutely gone through the roof

    I do still talk to customers on the phone but ideally I'd like my conversational range to extend beyond whether someone requires standard or oversize conrod bearings, after lockdown is over.

    "Look, Francois, one it kill you once in a while to ask how I am?"

    Also I too just assumed everybody had the inner monologue thing. Or at least never considered it for long enough to think people might not.
