The Lockdown Diary - DAY 39

Posted 2nd May 2020 at 12:13 by Cormack
A pleasant Friday, all things being equal. I went full on guerrilla teacher today as both kids joined me in the same room and in the kitchen while I was cooking to cover areas of physics, plant biology, chemistry and maths.

My son had one of his mates text him about the SOHCAHTOA work of the day before (same problem layout, different values, which is an interesting randomisation of questions to prevent one answer fits all) and he brought it over to do while under supervision to check...

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 38

Posted 1st May 2020 at 01:57 by Cormack
Nightmare of a day. Had an email sent to the work account that was the size of Belgium. Consequently spent the day trying to land it, Moby Dick-style, as it had destroyed my day (was on a presentation first thing that I essentially missed because of this data blocker) and I was in no way going to get anything done in the near future until I shifted it.

Mentally wore me out. Everything I seemed to touch went to dust as well as a result, as if the vibes were transmitted from the...

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 37

More of the same Wednesday. Still wondering what is the difference between 'toast' and 'Solihull toast', and how many slices has that bloke made now? I must see half a loaf's worth every day.

There are other foods. You're not Mike Gayle.

No tune today, feeling a bit achy, not in shape for a wobble around the kitchen. I was otherwise turned by homework into a chemist at the Somme. Daughter now isn't overly enamoured with Douggie Haig. With good reason.

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 36

Posted 29th April 2020 at 17:05 by Cormack
As the seal is well and truly broken on Week Six, we had a social dial-in at work which was a tidy way to spend an hour - we're not a bad bunch and we don't go for artificial fun (Mrs C was on one where they had a books quiz, which she'd hate and refused any further such nonsense, but which I'd shut down first crack by hogging the answers...) so it was a pleasant round table where all that was missing was a few scoops.

Scratch lasagne (both a meat and a veggie) for tea which I don't...

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 35

Posted 28th April 2020 at 17:48 by Cormack
An uneventful Monday, albeit with glorious sunshine again for large hunks of it. Sands shifted in work again, but no problems, just a few rearranged priorities. A good day for homework, science that I knew and numbers that play to my inner and surface geek.

Brother did turn up and the fact that my hair is far, far shorter than his is a source of some amusement for us all, but I suppose you have to be there... The bike he has is tidy, just what he needs for what he wants to do during...
