The global spread of Corona Virus made it clear that it would reach us and that we would have to follow the trend of our European neighbours of going into Lock-down.
To get a head start and to see what would be like, the Wife had a great idea – let’s do a dry run. You know, sort out how it might work, who does what, where and when. best to plan ahead and sort out the process…
To make it simple we thought we should try it on a Sunday afternoon. Nice and relaxed.
The kids thought it might be fun. I was philosophical. The Wife thought it was preparation for the Normandy landings.
We all gathered in the living area and set about our usual Sunday afternoon routine. the 2 kids were TikTokin’ in their corner, I was sorting out my drill bits, the Wife was catching up on her Instagram/facebook stuff.
After about 30 minutes of this the kids decided being in the same space as the adults was “boring”. and left to continue their attempt to create a viral dance video and rule the world through odd screen filters locked in their bedrooms…
The Wife decided that I had spent enough time sorting out my tools on my own and started to “help” me organise them.
My lack of enthusiasm for the Wife’s suggestions that i order the drill bits by colour rather than material type didn’t seem to be appreciated. And I was making too much noise rummaging around and banging things together. She decided that it was better that she went into the front room to have some quiet so that she could concentrate on her social media profile.
The lock-down dry run lasted 37 minutes.
