Paul lives in London with his partner. He’s missing the club nights and shows he usually takes part in as a promoter and DJ. Here he shares his Facebook post from April and sums up the lock-down experience for many of us.
What silver linings has your lockdown had? It’s been a challenging time but also a chance to take a different approach to life, maybe have some experiences you didn’t have before! Which of the following have you done?
-
Gone to bed unable to recall if you have had a shower today or not.

Been late for work despite your commute being 1 minute.
-
Jumped up like a puppy if anything comes through the door.
-
Eaten peanut butter from the jar.
-
Attended a meeting with no trousers on.
-
10am – resolved to do something constructive later in the day, then at 5pm scoffed at your foolish younger self and their idealistic aims.
-
Told the telly to fuck off during an advert for a bank with loads of workers being perky in a fake Zoom meeting.
-
Upgraded your walk-to-the-shop look from tracksuit bottoms to shorts, just so you’re not ‘letting yourself go”.

Given yourself a pat on the back for brushing your teeth.
-
Finished Netflix.

Told a celebrity on the radio to shut up when they have been giving tips for lock-down living.
