#QuaranTeam

Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Lockdown Day 4.

Lockdown Day 6.

Backyard Golf Academy continues to grow.

Tomorrow I& #39;ll tell y& #39;all a joke.
Lockdown Day 7.

Highlight - ran 15km. Seriously. That& #39;s not the joke.

What sings, plays piano and goes nicely with Jam?

Elton Scone.
Lockdown Day 8.

Highlight - Bear hunt. Thanks for all the teddies, peeps. Cool concept.

Keen to hear; what’s the first thing you’re going to do when this all passes?

Café & swim @ the beach for me.
Lockdown Day 9.

Highlight - this video https://twitter.com/jasongregor/status/1245407976598286337?s=21

Watch">https://twitter.com/jasongreg... it without laughing. I dare ya.

Lockdown Day 10.

Highlight - binged 4 episodes of Tiger King. You couldn& #39;t make that stuff up. Absolute scenes.

Tomorrow I& #39;ll ride my bike intrepidly to another suburb. Like I& #39;m Vasco da Gama or Bilbo Baggins.
Lockdown Day 11.

Highlight - rediscovering the simplest delicacy that is warm https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍞" title="Bread" aria-label="Emoji: Bread"> with a smear of https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧈" title="Butter" aria-label="Emoji: Butter">. There& #39;s a reason that virtuous fundamentals are "bread + butter".

Also enjoyed the least ceremonious daylight savings shift ever.

Tomorrow, check back for a trivia question.
Lockdown Day 12.

Highlight - smart podcast with @KibweJohnson & Litvinov Jr whilst doing (another) teddy bear hunt. References to poker, relationships, philosopy, aesthetics & beauty; https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌" title="Ok hand" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand">!

Trivia question- what is Sir Paul McCartney’s middle name?
Lockdown Day 13.

Highlight - scavenged fresh Chestnuts from a tree in the park. A younger Dale would laugh at present Dale& #39;s exploits. But present Dale has Chestnuts, jokes on you.

Sir Paul McCartney& #39;s middle name is, in fact, Paul.
Lockdown Day 15.

Highlight - lying on the grass in the sunshine.

Found this masterpiece in my neighbourhood this morning. Is it just me, or did graffiti used to be better? – at Prebbleton Tavern (Finnegans)
Lockdown Day 16.

Highlight - Good Friday + level 4 = roads are the quietest I& #39;ve seen. Ever. Nobody enjoyed that more than my dog, Mabo.

I& #39;ll never fully know what he& #39;s up to but if I was a dog sprinting down a country road, I& #39;d be pretty pumped! Go doggo.
Lockdown Day 17.

Highlight - watched the replay of @TigerWoods win at & #39;05 @TheMasters https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌" title="Ok hand" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand">

Energised, I busted out my driver @ Backyard Golf Academy.

Was scheduled to be playing @Barnbougle with @tim_carruthers today. Will be worth the wait...
Lockdown Day 18.

Highlight - Hot Cross Buns. Original. Underrated.

I& #39;m not an avid @NRL fan but i& #39;m watching keenly to see if they can get this proposed re-start happening. Good on em for having a crack.

Up the guts.
Lockdown Day 18.

Highlight - watching the replay of @TigerWoods at the 2019 @TheMasters. You know golf is good when the wife gets in to it.

Have enjoyed seeing kids around town get creative lately. Heaps of bikes, scooters, chalk, teddies, hopscotch etc.

I did get to 100.
Lockdown Day 18.

Highlight - Week 3 of Tuesday Lads Trivia.

Anonymously, how "essential" is your work to societal function?

Coaching is probably a 1.
Lockdown Day 21.

Highlight - realised that I erroneously tweeted thrice that it was day 18. Then used the word "thrice". Cool word.

In other news, the lactose-averse graffiti bandit continues to run roughshod over our small town. Who is #SoyMilk?

Thrice.
Lockdown Day 22.

Highlight - seized the chance to ride (with dog in tow) down the Southern Motorway before construction starts again. Felt like @CadelOfficial.

Thanks to the family down the road for the Feijoas.
Lockdown Day 23.

Highlight - coffee. Not insta-famous, look-at-me artisanal coffee; just regular black stuff made with beans and love.

Secret Shot Put tip: this is me circa ‘96. Note the polo shirt, high tops and sweat band (Space Jam-esque) for extra power.
Lockdown Day 24.

Highlight - average Turkish bread. Overcooked and wrong type of seeds (didn’t have Nigella or Sesame). Made it myself. Now it’s consumed.

Tomorrow I will destroy my daughter (age 1) in a game of hide-and-seek. She is woeful. I am the king.
Lockdown Day 25.

Highlight - as promised, a clinical display of hide-and-seek today. Some silky shifts to previously searched places; toddler had no idea. Title retained.

Setting a new goal for 2020. Revealed tomorrow. Here’s a clue...
Lockdown Day 26.

New goal needed for 2020. Decided by the people of Twitter.

I’m either going to eat and review every item on the local Fish & Chip shop menu OR run another marathon.

You decide!

100 RTs and I’ll do both.
Lockdown Day 27.

Highlight - my daughter has started dancing. Little kids have no preconceived ideas of what’s “supposed” to happen. It’s the best.

#eattheboard is out to a strong lead. 6 days of lockdown remaining. The countdown is on!
Lockdown Day 28.

Highlight - a 25min chat with my childhood coach. No business talk; just family, love, memories and laughter. A real treat.

Hats off to this family in Prebbleton levelling-up the Teddy Beat hunt.
Lockdown Day 29.

Highlight - Zoom training session. The "high performance" world is shiny and, sometimes, soul-less. Something grounding about riding a bike to training in crappy weather that builds/reveals character.

#EatTheBoard update tomorrow.
Lockdown Day 31.

Highlight - dirt under the fingernails, giving the vegetable garden some love ahead of Winter.

Confession: I steal sachets of sweetener from cafes. I& #39;ve run out of supplies so I accept the challenge of trying to rebuild my stocks under contactless conditions.
Lockdown Day 32.

Highlight - nothing crazy. Just regular stuff. I wouldn& #39;t tweet about it but I want to finish this thread.

The food @ our local Indian restaurant is better than their spelling.

Tomorrow will be my final Lockdown tweet!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤞🏽" title="Crossed fingers (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Crossed fingers (medium skin tone)">
