Lockdown!

On Friday night Leo announced that we are now in lock down!
This means we can only leave the house for essential reasons such as grocery shopping or caring for a relative, and also for brief exercise within a 2km radius of home.

This has triggered lots of discussions and arguments on the Crusaders whatsapp group as to what constitutes 'Brief'! There is a handy app which lets you see your 2km radius circle. Luckily the full east and west pier are within mine, as well as the park up at sallynoggin - not as nice as cabinteely but its good to have a bit of grass to run on.

Went out for a run on Saturday along the West pier and it was really quiet. People must be taking this lock down seriously!

Myself and Paul spent the weekend decluttering the entire house since we had nothing better to do. We got rid of about 30 bin bags of stuff but the house still looks the same! Hmm. Next weekend I will be focusing on photos and hanging stuff on the wall.

This lockdown is due to last for 2 weeks but I suspect it will probably be longer. We are now at 2,100 cases, but the new daily cases are fairly flat at about 200 - 250 cases. Lisa is still waiting for her results after getting tested last Monday though so there seems to be a big backlog.

This week my goals are as follows -
- Change out of my pyjamas every day
- Do a virtual HIIT class
- Do the daily push up challenge
- Cook a beef stew in the slow cooker
- Follow Emmet Dunleavy's online training plan
- Read a chapter of my book every dayRead more
