Lockdown Day 1.

Highlight- Hashbrown scramble, inspired by @WaffleHouse

Tomorrow's task is to compile the definitive Top 5 ranking of Soup styles. Hit me with nominations.

Pumpkin & Miso both showing early form.

#QuaranTeam
Lockdown Day 2.

Highlight - This meme.

Soup Top 5:
1) Pumpkin (original)
2) Minestrone
3) Tom Yum
4) Pea + Ham
5) Miso

Tomorrow I will reveal the start of my backyard golf training academy.
Lockdown Day 3.

Highlight - Scones w Jam + Cream.

As promised, backyard Golf Academy insight...

Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Lockdown Day 4.

Highlight - Diverse reading.

Tomorrow I will attempt to bake a loaf of bread resembling @realDonaldTrump
Lockdown Day 5.

Highlight - 30min run in torrential rain. Waterlogged and alive.

As promised, here is Doughnald Trump.
Lockdown Day 6.

Highlight - Shrek 2. Better than the original, very rare.

Backyard Golf Academy continues to grow.

Tomorrow I'll tell y'all a joke.
Lockdown Day 7.

Highlight - ran 15km. Seriously. That'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 it without laughing. I dare ya.

Also, Mrs Stevenson made Bangers & Mash. Peas + gravy. 🤤 https://twitter.com/JasonGregor/status/1245407976598286337
Lockdown Day 10.

Highlight - binged 4 episodes of Tiger King. You couldn't make that stuff up. Absolute scenes.

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

Highlight - rediscovering the simplest delicacy that is warm 🍞 with a smear of 🧈. There'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; 👌!

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's exploits. But present Dale has Chestnuts, jokes on you.

Sir Paul McCartney's middle name is, in fact, Paul.
Lockdown Day 14.

Highlight - fresh out of the bath, the 1min as 👶🏻 downs her 🍼 before bed.

Saw this dumpster today. Profound.
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've seen. Ever. Nobody enjoyed that more than my dog, Mabo.

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

Highlight - watched the replay of @TigerWoods win at '05 @TheMasters 👌

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'm not an avid @NRL fan but i'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 30.

Highlight - new 📖 arrived. Shoutout @jacquietran for the steer.

#EatTheBoard looking a likely winner. A little nervous. Need ideas to help me formulate a plan of attack. I'm thinking I'll bookmark the challenge with Giant Burgers (my favourite)? Help me out!
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'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'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!🤞🏽
