Working from Home

Working from home is so sad and isolating, I never realised how much I enjoyed the day to day contact with my colleagues. I also miss getting up from my desk to at least walk between meetings; sitting down for hours at home is already taking a toll after just a couple of days!

I feel like work has really invaded our personal space. It's tough to separate work from home when your workstation is taking up the majority of your dining table, but I've found that lighting a candle when work is over at least makes it smell like home and not work.

We've had our last laughs at floorplay, one last impressive bruise, a last handstand practice at the gym and a lot of other lasts as everything shuts down with their fingers crossed they'll make it through. My fingers are crossed extra tight for Tammy at Flying High Aerial Arts, and the team at AirYoga and Stadium Fitness - once things are back to normal, I'll never take my fitness routine for granted every again!

Our fridge is a graveyard of tickets for events that will hopefully be delayed rather than cancelled (including The National, Pond, Tame Impala, The Crystal Method, Perth Beerfest, Chinta High Tea, ok so we spend lots on events), and we're getting accustomed to day to day life without looking forward to big plans on our weekends.

These are all small problems in the grand picture of course, but man day to day life is going to suck for a while.

To end on a lighter note, here's an improvised dessert I made recently with homemade lemon curd and blueberry compote we had ready in the fridge, heavy cream, and an improvised crumb of coconut, almond and hazelnut meal, sugar and butter. It was a success, will definitely have to remember that crumb!
