My first attempt at something like this so it should be an interesting ride. |
Tuesday (I think) 28th April 2020 I think it’s quite amusing that now we are all restricted to our homes and having to entertain ourselves, we start writing about our lives but the only thing going on is that we are locked up in our own homes with nothing going on. I have been off work since the 23rd March and it seems a lot longer than that. Going from a forty-hour work week to a week of trying to keep busy is a bit of a culture shock. This is the longest spell that I have ever had out of work in my adult life. (I’m 62) Luckily, I am healthy and fit enough to go on a daily bike ride. That usually eats up at least two hours of my day. Then I try to keep busy writing emails and playing Football Manager 2020. If anyone reading this plays FM20 please let me know. That game is so addictive. |
What is something you like to do that other people might think is “weird?” This morning I am awake and excited because the German Bundesliga football is on tv all morning. The first match will kick off at 0630 Pacific and I will sit and watch all the games until around noon. Then, after a quick lunch, I will watch the games that I recorded on dvr until midafternoon. When they are finished I will play Football Manager 2020 for an hour or so on my computer. That game is very addictive so an hour or two might be a conservative estimate. If I manage to pull my self away from that game, I will watch other people playing the game on YouTube! My biggest form of exercise on a day like today is probably walking to the fridge to get a beer. In the past I have had a chilly box next to my chair but that gets messy! Some people might think that my day is weird, but I know plenty of people who are envious. They have to get through their “Honey Do” list before they can get to do a fraction of what I will enjoy today. Pastimes aren’t weird, they are just different ways of enjoying ourselves. I will go for a 50-mile bike ride on Monday and some folk might think that that is weird. Whatever floats your boat. |
