It’s spring! Well done everyone. 🌷☀️

Like the majority of the city/country/planet, we’ve been stuck inside all week. This isn’t very different from how I’ve been living since the start of the year anyway so it’s not a huge imposition. The largest problem is not being able to go for coffees and lunches and drinks with people, but video calls and various Slack workspaces are helping to mitigate that.

I am not being especially productive so I’m afraid I don’t have any #wfh #hacks #content for you. Try coffee?

We watched Knives Out which I enjoyed. I’ve never been a fan of Daniel Craig (or James Bond) but he does the heavy lifting in this film and is pretty good at it. Part of me was expecting it to be brain-meltingly clever but instead it’s just simple and effective. Which is clever.

You are position 329 of 1077. Your wait time will be about five minutes.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out on Friday and has already brought me a lot of pleasure. Being trapped on an island with nothing much to do is a weirdly resonant setup under the circumstances. I like how sedate and ultimately aimless it is.

If you’re considering playing it as a household, be aware that you and your partner will share the island. I felt a bit nervous about this at first but it’s actually turned out to be a source of joy.

I am of course no longer going to the gym. As a result I’m regaining fat, but on the other hand I’m losing muscle, so that’s the same.

You are position 46 of 1094. Your wait time will be less than a minute.
