#LivingInLockdown Day 13 – Saturday 28th March A short blog today because I’m having a rest and really can’t be bothered to write much. I have a question for you all. Have you ever analysed how much rubbish you create? No! Me neither, until now that is. Under normal circumstances I have very little …
#LivingInLockdown Day 12 – Friday 27th March My social media is awash with challenges. Some of them are amusing like posting the photo that comes up if you google your name and ‘glamour shot’. Others are usual round of ‘let’s see if you read posts without photos’ which you’re supposed to copy and paste …
#LivingInLockdown Day 11 – Thursday 26th March Since my moment of desperation on Monday, I have not felt the slightest need to go outside. I’ve been quite content indoors. This may be because I have adjusted to my new routine, helped by the fact that I’ve managed to increase my movements (my daily step …
#LivingInLockdown Day 10 – Wednesday 25th March According to Facebook I was in Valencia this time four years ago. I have fond memories of that holiday. Of course if things had been different I would be jetting off to Rome in four days time. That of course is all cancelled as is the holiday …
#LivingInLockdown Day 9 – Tuesday 24th March This morning I wake up to the news that the UK is now also officially in quarantine conditions for the next 3 weeks at least. Welcome to the club folks. If anything this will make my life easier. For a start it eases the worry about family …

I’m the one living it. Bad …

#LivingInLockdown Day 6 – Saturday March 21st Today did not start well. I woke up worrying about my family and how devastated I’d be if one of them died of this virus. I suppose it’s inevitable for these thoughts to come at some point, though I’ve no idea why this morning. This spiralled into worrying …
#LivingInLockDown Day 5 – Friday March 20th Interesting day! Woke up late and a bit groggy from the bottle of wine the night before. Not hungover as such (no headaches or raging thirst) but definitely not on top form. The idea of doing any exercise is off the table and slobbing in bed for …
#LivingInLockDown Day 4 (Part 2) – Thursday March 19th It’s a big night in the lockdown calendar because I am hosting my first Zoom video conference meeting and I have no idea what I’m doing. This is an event for Costa Women Madrid, a group I whose social events I host. The idea is instead …
