Self isolation Vol:3 Better out than in.
Self isolation Vol:3 Better out than in.
I have to admit it was good to get outside even for a short while.
No idea how I came upon Lunarbaboon webcomic but the mix of Dad stuff and mental-health stuff is right-up-my-street.
Never more focused then I when I feel down. I guess nothing else matters so much and I’m not so easily distracted.
Day 47 and I feel like I’ve hit a wall. e-learning continues but it’s no fun. My sleep continues to be sub-optimal. Sleeping too late and snoozing too much.
There was talk yesterday about the ‘lockdown’ (only 1 person being allowed to leave every 2 days) stopping today. Nope. Obviously disappointing.
This was just a list I made at the start but I realise it’s pretty much just working from home. Which I haven’t really done, I’ve done planning and stuff but not teaching.
Austin Kleon was talking about mini-zines recently so that’s what I did this afternoon.
@help Hi! Is there a reason I can’t type in Chinese characters in the app on my Macbook? When I try nothing happens.
Last night I tidied my desk and felt all the better for doing it. Not my greatest work, there was some hiding of stuff but it’s a start.
Struggling to get into Season 2 of Altered Carbon. It feels completely different and I’m not sure I like it. 📺
Kettlebell swings are feeling stronger, which I guess is coming from some consistency. Which is good.
Squashing coffee, exercise and just taking 5 minutes into the time between making breakfast and an online meeting with some other teachers.
Day 41 is bad.
Yesterday Day 40 of self-isolation wasn’t too bad, here’s hoping 41 isn’t so bad either.
This week, we’re going to try and put some order into our week. I’ve started by making the writing in my work journal diary neater and more organised.
Quarantine cooking: finding relief from the coronavirus anxiety in the kitchen. It’s strange since I’m here, but all this stuff passes me by, obviously.
The hardest part of this coronavirus lockdown in China is that my wife and I get so little time to ourselves and so much time with the kids.

Just learning that with Family Sharing on iOS that in-app purchases can’t be shared. So, it’s better to get an app that costs $ instead of a free app that needs $ to unlock the full version.
£5 a month just to play Grindstone ok Apple Arcade just doesn’t make sense.
Both L and I have both kind of hit a wall recently. It’s now 5 wks of being stuck inside. I can write about because I’m feeling a little calmer about it.
No idea of how much longer it will last. Considering going to Thailand but debatable whether that is a better choice for us.
I like the film viewing process when I don’t have a clue about it. It’s just so nice to not have expectations of what others think or what it’s about. It’s always a risk of course and some films it’s impossible to not hear anything about obviously.
I miss rolls of film.
I say that because apparently my 200gb of iCloud storage is full and I don’t want to have to sort out all my photos.
My wife tidies as she goes when she cooks and I’m very much in the - I’m cooking not cleaning school of thought. Which is why, when I think about it, that I normally wash up.
