The Lockdown Diary - DAY 79

Haircut.

Without looking back, it's been around two months since the last and still quite short (I can go positively nimbus sometimes) but I've grown accustomed to my face and wouldn't mind the one less worry, so off it went.

Have had a bit of a slump this week, been a bit listless so let's see if it helps my mood.

The only other thing to report was Mum had a phone call asking for my brother. She replied he'd gone the shops. The guy at the other end...

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 78

Nominally day one of the last week before release, but I doubt it ends there. Still no say-so or text either way for me on next Monday but given the opening up of just about everything retail, I doubt I'll have to change my habits - outside just became a bigger minefield and in the absence of advice, you sit in the foxhole and don't drive to Barnard Castle in a blindfold.

Short loop with my daughter as company, while about the park, the dog peeled away from us and pretty much did...

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 77

Couple of dial-ins, got a bit done and both kids had maths to cover, which was pretty good, but not as good as the main event.

Son had another net tonight, a three-hander, and his shot selection and offside work has come together immeasurably over the winter. Needs to work on his defence a touch but the impetuosity of youth... He also used the bowling session to try out a few things. If my shoulder were not hanging like a wrenched ham at the minute, I'd have found it difficult...

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 76

Cosy Sunday as well. Technically, the cupcakes were of today as I worked the icing very late on, eldest made a sponge from scratch with jam and buttercream filling, youngest did the brownies. So a baking treble (a quad if you include a batch of honeycomb).

Short loop with the dog who has fully re-established her and my routine with a couple of add-ons. There is something tremendously uplifting in the gusto of a dog who goes frankly nuts when she gets to go out. Even the short...

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 75

Posted 7th June 2020 at 18:47 by Cormack
A quiet day about the house today. The 2013 Welsh Cup Final was being shown on Youtube/Facebook (so Youtube, then) in its entirety so there were two hours of my life I relived in full, the chant of "Cheerio, cheerio, cheerio' still making me laugh when Parky skips past the already-booked full back who takes him out and I predicted the outcome of the free kick to my eight-year-old son to an unrelenting degree of accuracy.

I caught on BBC2 the back end of the '84 Lord's Test where...
