Hi everybody,

I’m writing this on the first weekday of Sydney’s 2-week lockdown. I will admit straight off the bat that lockdowns do freak me out a bit. They shouldn’t as I have a very supportive employer, a great wife and lovely home with plenty of food and stuff in it to distract me. But honestly for the last year or so the whole Covid thing has just felt like a weight on my shoulders. Yes, I know so many more people have it a lot worse than I do but hey that’s just the feeling I have.

Why am I writing this? Well, I’ve gotten a bit lazy lately with writing, so this blog/unleashing of thoughts is a way to try, and kick start my writing. At the moment it feels like I am forcing myself to write, hopefully after a few posts I will get a bit more flow into it.

If you are reading this thank you, you don’t have to, but it is appreciated.

I admit with this lockdown I’m struggling not to get too mad about it. It’s so easy to go online and tweet at the peeps who I feel have stuffed this up (Hi ScoMo, what que are we at the front of? It’s clearly not one for vaccine, eh) but I’ll try to stay away from that.

My iso hobby last year was golf…. I’ve kept up with it and am supposed to play today…. looking out the window and seeing all the rain I don’t think this is going to happen. Ah, well will just have to go and attack the huge stack of books I’ve accumulated over the last year.

Hopefully, this blog will be a regular thing and with a bit more substance than this one. So, I will leave you now but before I go, I’ll list what I’m reading, watching, and listening to. Feel free to share what you’re getting up to as I’m always keen for more suggestions of stuff to do.

Listening to Garbage……the band. Damn, they are good.

Watching: Trying to watch new stuff rather than fall back into my safety shows of American Pickers, Pawn Stars and The Big Bang Theory. To be fair they are always on the tele when I turn it on, and they are comforting shows. If you have a tip on what I should watch am happy to listen.

Reading: How Good Is Scott Morrison? A look at Morrison’s handling of the last year…. not bad so far…almost done.

Have a great day/night
