So here we are. Eight odd weeks of national lock down to minimise the effects of Covid-19. I’d like to say my life was affected in some way but in general I stayed home, worked on the house and spent time with my daughter who was around a lot more what with the schools being closed. Life sort of carried on. It helps to generally be away from jobs. A bit of work to do but none of it required being around other people. I am rather selfishly happy that I am not in a secondary school at the moment. I recently read “NOFX: The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories” in which Fat Mike talked about mole people controlling his life direction keeping him out of trouble. I found this somewhat familiar. Earthquakes, lock downs and viruses and I have not been in a school for any of them. It’s hard not to think about mole controllers. I may be going insane.

The house is almost painted. As of today there are two more windows to do and I am done. Lots of interesting experiments with the laser cutter and a first look at using leather after a friend asked about 3D printed stamps. Changed a car battery today which brought back memories of welding a screwdriver to a metal frame on an electric scooter. Turns out cars are a little more refined and it went well. I am alive and the car starts. Job done.
