A great deal of my job involves driving around in a bakkie carting building materials and contractors around.
Since that is now unlikely to happen in the next three weeks, I must, like probably everyone else home-bound, and in the name of staying productive and no more insane as is absolutely necessary, try and incorporate some activities, some more earth shattering than others.
1. Commit to using shorter sentences (and by extension avoid nested commas).
2. Develop a novel way of breaking an egg.
3. Try vegetarianism for a while.
4. Spend an entire Sunday high on reefer (may well be combined with point 3).
5. Finish my book, Eilene, by Ottessa Moshfegh - a strangely mesmerizing piece of prose where nothing really seems to happen.
6. Play chess with the kid.
7. Surreptitiously tamper with the wall clocks; perhaps setting all three exactly one hour apart.
8. Weld a paper towel dispenser. Build a shelf - you can't have too many.
9. Make a database for the missus, Sqlite with LibreOffice Base as GUI.
10. Take some micrographs of rotifers and other tiny thingies.
