Working From Home - A Diary
Day 1 - Buzzing. Full kitchen, closer to the coffee, boyfriend on tap.

Day 2 - Enjoyed exploring the local lunch options and found a banging boulangerie, there’s a tap that drips and wheezes in my house and it will kill me before Corona, finding out @Everymancinema’s have closed was a near breaking point...
Day 3
Yesterday way positive for me. I defrosted the freezer and made a risotto. Got caught up in the news and rumours a little too much. Is Prince Philip dead?! Is London entering lockdown tonight?! Learnt that my local Turkish supermarket has everything and THE best produce.

Day 4
Boyfriend keeps telling me he’s on a call, I think I’m an annoying colleague/office mate. Now spending more time in zoom ‘meetings’ than actually working. My boss tells me my apathy towards Zoom can be compared to Boris’ apathy towards his daily address. OOO on for weekend

(WFH) Day 5...
Back at the home 'office'. Without cinema, restaurants or theatre weekend entertainment included boyfriend and friend cutting my hair and a 55km bike ride around an eerie London to Richmond...

Day 6...
Made scones. Cancelled visit to my dogs. Not been to the cinema for a week. Welcomed lockdown news, even if, still, it was half arsed and confused. Got excited my basil was flowering, google told the flowers weren’t good, remove them. Felt like an isolation parallel.

Day 7
Neighbours got a delivery from ‘Kawai’ obviously I have time to google what that is. It’s a musical instrument.

Boss asked in a zoom if I’d froze. Was just bored to death.
Added my favourite Masterchef contestants on LinkedIn... help I need stability.

Day 9... think I have Stockholm Syndrome. I don’t want to work from anywhere other than home again. Jigsaw not arrived.
Day 10...
Seen a drug deal happening from a smart car (must be a first), seen (probably not) Nuno Espírito Santo delivering for DPD. Still waiting for my jigsaw @Waterstones

Day 11
Didn't wear trousers all day (for the first time).
Didn't leave the house all day (for the first time).
Still no jigsaw. Don't want to return to work, I love this life.

Day 12
Left the house yesterday, bumped into some friends and had a chat (from 2 meters apart) - somebody started filming us. Can't wait for vigilante culture to fully kick-off

Busier than ever as we work on #BAFTA’s first ever online awards show. Tonight!
No jigsaw, my oatcakes haven’t arrived been in the post since Monday, assuming they’re gross now. Not seen the Royal Mail for about a week
