Today, it was announced that Newcastle and the surrounding areas will stay in lockdown for another week as the daily number of positive COVID cases are still too high. So I guess that gives me at least another week of home schooling fun. Yay…

It hasn’t all been bad though, I’ve been able to dedicate more time to the projects I’ve been working on. I’ve been able to dive into Saga: Compendium One, which is so good. I’ve also been able to spend some time playing with the video we’ve been capturing at New Lambton FC, which I’ll start sharing on New Lambton’s social media in the coming days.

At the moment, I’m guessing we’ll be in lockdown for at least 3 weeks. Hopefully I’ll be wrong!

The end of the first week of lockdown in Newcastle isn’t too far away, however, with the rising numbers of local cases I can’t see it ending this week though. It doesn’t make a huge difference to my every day life during the week, the biggest difference comes on the weekends when there’s no football on, at least it’s letting me catch up on the backlog of editing that’s sitting in Lightroom currently.

Hope you and yours are staying safe wherever you happen to be.

I’ve noticed over the past couple of weeks that the advertising on Instagram has gotten even worse, it’s like scrolling through the old Sky Mall magazines, but the ads are so cleverly disguised, in most cases, that they appear to be someone you’re following.
