Lockdown 2020

Im not really the best at updating or writing here. In 2020 so far ive proposed to my partner, seen my favourite band for the first time in 15 years, and now most recently, possibly sprained my ankle. Nonetheless the big life event for everyone at the moment is the Covid_19 situation- social distancing, isolation, and mass political lies in a hellscape straight out of your favourite sci-fi novel.


The UK entered lockdown on the 23rd of March 2020- (for better or worse) quite a while after the rest of Europe. You read about it elsewhere and how they’ve coped but when the quarantine hit everything just felt weird. One walk a day. No visiting friends or family. No loitering without reason. Only shopping once a week. No going to work. Its a sudden abundance of free time but its very demoralising, empty, strange time as well. Lots of reading, online video calls, boardgames and well, house stuff.


So here’s the first month of Lockdown just passed: A mood-board/scrapbook effort of stuff ive captured or saved during “Strange Times” these last few weeks. Its mostly quite (forgive me) random stuff, but given the circumstances it feels like something that should be marked or remembered as well- that month in 2020 where everyone had to stay at home to avoid catching a life threatening virus. Just like your favourite dystopian sci-fi thriller, like I said.
