Hey fellow hivers and to all those locked down around the world
We're currently in day 3 in our 21 day quarantine in South Africa and my neighbourhood is weirdly quiet. I live close to the airport and 2 universities so normally you would hear all kinds of sounds and signs of life but it's been completely dead.
I have gone outside to drive my car for a bit after washing it and while we're not being held hostage by the army like in some areas people seem to be keeping to the lockdown, for now.
I am pretty sure as the days pass people will take more chances and slowly start getting back to leaving their homes as they get cabin fever or tired of dealing with their family members lol

Cofit-19
Normally I'd be playing soccer to keep fit but since that's out of the question I've had to move into home workouts. Thankfully I have a bit of a garden so I can walk around and get some fresh air as well as having a few things I can do to keep myself active.
I normally hit the punching bag for a bit each day, hit the stationary bike for some cardio and then hit the weights. I would like some more cardio because I know my ass is going to get obliterated once soccer starts back up but at least I'm just sitting around.
Working from home
Since I make a living on the internet, I can work from home. While many of my clients have shut down I can still work on my own website and a few other tasks so I'm not too disrupted.
Naturally will be taking a knock in revenue as with everyone, but at least its not a total loss and I can still earn a bit of an income.
Gaming and Streaming
There's pretty much just shite on TV and covid news so I've been picking up on a few series like Ozark and a few documentaries as well as blowing the dust of my Playstation and started up with the Witcher 3.
Repairs and cleaning
Since my cleaning lady isn't allowed to save me from chores, I've been forced to clean my own home and do my own laundry and fuck is it a pain. If there's one thing I don't like about it is all the fucking cleaning lol. I've also done some repairs around the house.
I think I've been doing pretty well, not going crazy just yet and making my food stretch to avoid the shops.

A yard and plenty of exercise, sounds great.
Also sounds like your cleaning lady is gonna get a nice "I love you" Christmas present this year (lol).
Keep mentally healthy my friend. And so some standing drills with your soccer ball.
Oh you know that fresh air is vital and the sunlight!
Oh lol she’s going to get a big hug too, and loads of food since I don’t eat that much, she usually takes mine with her, so here’s plenty of stock for her now with the stockpile!
But none of my toilet paper though, that’s gold lol! Get your own
I am not Jessie i am britt hahahha we have been in lockdown longer two weeks now and its so sad to see all that is happening in this world and in all of our lives but maybe we can get some positivity outr of it and hope for better time soon.
Lol I don't know how I'll feel after two weeks, I already want to get out and go swimming so badly! The weather has been great over the last few days, I even made a fire to cook outside today
How much longer will your lock down be?
Not in lockdown yet in Australia but I think it will happen soon ☹️
Well then you better take the time to prepare, get some food, some good books, some and maybe a few drinks to hold your sanity over
Hitting the Typhoon TV app as it is superb. SA tv sucks so you have no choice I think. Internet seems to have improved slightly today so at least the app is working again.
Well My fibre was supposed to kick in this month but they now couldn't connect me because of the lockdown, lol my internet is so kak, I tell you!
Cleaning Services … haven't thought about this. I kinda like the idea that everyone who wasn't used to care work is now forced to do it themselves. I was often dreaming of a society like that. It would definitely end a lot of power dispositions in this society. Wow! You blew my mind with this fact. 🙃
Good to read you're doing fine.
Well it would mean less waste that's for sure, if you know you have to clean up after yourself you're likely to not want to give yourself more work!
Lol glad I still have the ability to blow your mind after all this time!
lol! You so much deserve having it to do yourself! :P
Well, blowing my mind also left a crazy mess. Who's gonna deal with that?
Lol sadly I have to admit that you’re right, you know already how much that hurts for me to admit that
Lol I’m happy to pick up the pieces, clearly cleaning up my messes is now my job
I don't know what it is over here, but people just don't seem to care about the lockdown. Cops and the army try their best, but they can only do so much.
Any case, good to see that you are keeping busy and if you keep on cleaning for the duration your place is going to shine like a beacon Lol.
Blessings!
We just like being outside can't blame people we do have some great weather! I mean who can resist a Braai if you're forced to be at home, thank goodness for gardens
Lol I have new respect for home cleaners my knees are ashy and I smell like jik!
Oh yeah, I almost live outside in our little garden my friend.
A great time to work on the house and helping the wife to clean.
Stay safe.
I'm watching Ozark myself. I heard the season premiere just came out. I am excited to see it now that I have caught up with the series
I’m now on episode 4 it’s not as good as the first 2 seasons but still well worth watching in my opinion
It's nice that you have a little bit of a garden so you can spend some time outside and physical activity helps a lot. :)
