So after much reflection I have come to realise how living during the lockdown is much like the film 'The Shining'. Better yet, it can all be demonstrated with the joy of gifs.

At least I am making myself laugh.

1/12

it all begins, it can't be all that bad right?

2/12

13 minutes and 24 seconds into day one. The wife also working from home and telling me about...well i'm not sure as I wasn't really paying attention

3/12

after she accuses me of being a little tetchy after our previous conversation

4/12

We live with my parents whilst we save for a house. My mum has (on numerous occasions) cornered me for 20-30 minute periods to tell me about interesting things, like how she has so much compost at the moment she doesn't know what to do with it.

5/12

not to mention the time where I went into the kitchen for a coffee and couldn't leave until 55 minutes later. She just needed to tell me about how one of her chickens was 'bunged up'

6/12

I work from home a lot but now everyone else is here too, they either have time off or are also working from home. They think that I also have nothing to do and don't understand why I have to continue with calls and video conferences

7/12

it's almost 3 weeks into lockdown and clearly I am going a little mad being locked up

8/12

inevitably all the things that need to be done around the house have been done and the fridge comes-a-calling. But there is nothing to eat so you just stand there gazing into nothingness.

9/12

I've been on my government approved walk outside but still bored and have a bit of pent up energy

10/12

when the government announces that nobody can leave their houses and we really are stuck inside.

11/12

me in 7 more days when I officially 'crack'.
