If I was a better person, I would be spending the time in lockdown do something wonderful like reading or podcasting or crafting. Instead, I’m not. True, I’m working my socks off, moving from business contracts to focus on (my real editing passion) fiction works. But, I can’t help but feel that I’m somewhat wasting my time in lockdown.

Lockdown Blog: Day 3
Three days in, the sun, an important topic of conversation in the UK, is out. Ironically, it seems, the only time we get sun is the only time we’re not allowed to properly enjoy it. Still, gardens should be well tended to this year.
Lockdown Blog: Day 2
