The Lockdown Diary - DAY 109

Posted 11th July 2020 at 23:44 by Cormack
Mum sounded a touch 'off' on #109 - she'd been put back on oxygen and her BP was low; and was to be sent for a chest x-ray. She is a martyr to chest infections, and had been held back a day or two for the same on admission, so not necessarily unexpected

The day was work interspersed by son's nets, and the anticipation of a two-day mini round robin among the members, 6 squads, nine-a-side, to take place on #110 and #111, players sanitise, the ball wiped every six overs, the non-striker...

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 108

IT hell on #108, had been asked to pitch in on some work which, with functioning internet, I could have knocked over in 90 minutes.

Ten hours overall. We're changing supplier in under a month and this is the reason why - lockdown has shown we need more juice.

First world problems...

Quiet otherwise, as you can imagine when your day has been monopolised....

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 107

Contents may settle in transit. Today was quieter.

It's been a frantic couple of weeks and I have learnt to despise the phone all over again. On this day, there were double figure interactions on the phone.

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 106

Cake was a massive hit. I've made it on multiple occasions but the "cream the butter and sugars" method has a clear advantage over the "all in".

We 'had a table' and it went down well, everyone ate their fill and there was a bit over, which is nice.

Other than that, Mrs C's onsite present was not to be mithered all day, watch Netflix and be fed. Level up. We'll do something further into summer when we're less restricted.

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 105

Busy, busy, so am on catch-up. Mrs C's birthday on #106 so I decided that I would make a cake. I have a cracking recipe which makes a firm unit ripe for carving, and it came out the best ever. I have become Cake Boss.

Slept badly, second night inside a week, no real reason but it explains why this entry is two days after the event and a day late.

Went to nets, and the planned tournament is now scheduled for the weekend and in two weeks to finish. The club has unsurprisingly...
