The COVID Diaries (STAY.THE.F#&K.INSIDE) - 50 Days of Lockdown in New Zealand
A totally normal family's adventures during the New Zealand COVID-19 lockdown, collated over 50 days, by their totally normal Dad.
This collection contains over 750 snippets of joy from their time together in lockdown - it's the story of the havoc which abounds when you're locked in a house with two sociopathically-energetic boys for too long.
There's mutilated cheese, absent pants, potentially-sentient jam, scooters on trampolines, the Podium People, a suspiciously-missing wife, and even a very-average haiku or two. A playlist of melodies to drown out your own family, or at least as a soundtrack to the vaguely-coherent musings, is linked to each day.
If you want to re-live your own lockdown pain, or just read about it being inflicted on another normal family, then this is the book for you.
It's a PDF for maximum compatibility, and is readable on most modern devices (although if you're still running punch-cards, tapes or a phone without the ability to view the internet, then check whether your device can read a PDF first). Effectively, though, if you can read this page then your device can read this book.
From our family to yours,
Stay the f#&k inside (and all the best),
Dave, Liz, Angus and Hugo.
