Day 4 Lockdown...better
Had a much better day today, felt useful and although busy, realised there was stuff that might not get done.
Always better to have days like this of course, but highlights the mental challenge that goes with lockdown, and still wanting to avoid the physical challenge of fighting the virus!!!
A genuinely incredible and quite emotional moment at 8pm with the #clapforourcarers Moment!

Day 3...
And the most stressful yet, really struggled balancing professional and personal life! Felt inadequate in both, stressed out and just not an enjoyable day.
Did manage to get kids to horses again and woods, but just not a great day. Felt tired, body ached and Joe Wicks has me hurting even more now! One to forget!

Easing into Lockdown - Part 2
The lady wife cooked a stunning meal, then she did bath times, and I did the Joe Wicks workouts from Monday and Tuesday this week. Meant for school kids, but a real lung buster, he has probably won Corona Virus 2020 right now!
I think we're going to be in this for a long time to be honest, 3 weeks minimum, but I can see us going to Summer and onwards,
Think Britain will be buff, fit, have beautiful gardens and drinking problems!

Easing into Lockdown
So two full days at home now as a Result of the Covid-19 virus, day 1 under old Social distancing rules, Day 2 really Lockdown.
Been interesting, yesterday overwhelming getting myself back up to speed, today very stressful with Amanda working too, feeling like not really winning as a staff member or as a Dad. Of course these things will take time.
Did enjoy playing with the kids though, bit of gardening, then play-doh, sleeps then a walk to see horses and play in the woods (see photos) including one beautifully taken by Angus!

Covid-19, Corona Virus has us Social Distancing
But before I use this as an opportunity to diarise where we are (Day 3 right now!) here's a look back to sunnier and warmer times last week in the Dominican Republic!

Bangalore Trip
Back to India for first time in 7 years, Bangalore (Bengaluru) is the destination this time. Mostly work focused though so not sure I'll get to see much of the town...but let's see!
It is fair to say
Sitting out a slay is far more comfortable in business class, than crammed in, in Economy! #everycloud

Delayed
For over an hour...terrific! Will now search for how long it needs to be to get the old money back!
Almost there
Not a bad flight, wee bit bumpy, but overall pretty good. Maybe 4 hours sleep in total, will get a good nap I think this morning.

Funny BA aircraft!
The sky looks very British though...or pre-Climate change British anyway!
I am sure India will be very different!

Halfway...almost
Not too far to Doha now, think it's about 5/6 am local time...almost 10 Singapore time...but I think I may have had almost 6 hours sleep, if not more!
Qatar Airport Bus
Possibly the only place in the world where the bus that takes you to the terminal is Business Class with special seats in it!
