The Lockdown Diary - DAY 10
Posted 2nd April 2020 at 18:29 by Cormack
The NHS Coronavirus team have clearly put The Very Best of the Eagles (1994) on a loop and are doing the three sudoku and two crosswords (cryptic and quick) in the Metro. No texts today.
Carpe diem. Today I decided that the dangly underarm wart that has sat under my arm for many, many beardslengths could do one. Wrapped a piece of cotton around it and pulled like a 70s character in Whizzer and Chips. Off it came. Felt pretty good about myself. My other comic experience was looking in the mirror in dire need of a haircut and realising that rather than go Billy the Fish (originally based on Paul Mariner's barnet, I believe) I look like Roy Race around the time he walked out on Rovers. Especially around the ears...
Only grey. And not Blackie Grey (I know, it's a scrap of author's licence). Unless I do it myself, I'll end up looking like Dan Haggerty, since I'm going all 70s/80s
More WW1 history, algebra and religious studies today, so if anyone wants to know if x = the Angel of Mons, I'm your man.
Family member appeared brighter this morning but later went into ICU. No update for several hours since which we can only consider to be good news.
Mrs C went out and brought back some essentials and some welcome non-essentials and then took the dog out - she isn't complaining about it but it is taxing her (bear in mind I used to do all this and not worry about some melt coughing on me) and it's annoying that I can't do it. On the plus side, everyone's eating well and I've lost a bit more weight
Stay well
