It's going to rain. I'm lying in the hammock rereading a murder mystery. There's soft music on in the living room. If you squint--ignore the clutter--this could be a Sunday in the Before Times too. Just me and my book and one brave cat, watching the storm clouds looming. #coronavirusdiaries #hammocklife #terracegarden

Emo cat has just finished scribbling the lyrics to Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want This Time on the cover of her notebook and is now staring out at the rain with Rolling In The Deep playing behind her. #olgadapolga #catsofinstagram #rainyday #coronavirusdiaries

I have been having a rough few weeks. It's both nothing and everything. Fed up, tired, depressed, despairing. Even my relentless optimism, looking on the bright side of life etc has to meet a wall at some point, and here, apparently is the wall. So to get an unexpected, just because present from my beloved @nailajung who, if all was well, I'd have met in person, I'd have hugged in thanks, moved me to tears, and OK ok, I am v weepy these days, just leaking like an old faucet but these, for a change, were happy tears. Here is a cat crochet bookmark by @verycrochety with a love note that I won't share because it's too personal but you should all know that I had some happiness this evening. Like that line from that famous poem: listen, I love you/joy is coming. That, but in real life. I'm so lucky to have my friends. I miss you all so much. #coronavirusdiaries

We bought a mattress topper to revive our old mattress which is still springy but hard on the bones. It is like sleeping on a CLOUD. Good thing we have no social life right now because there's really no reason to leave this bed. Olga, however, has decided this is her birthright and has been sitting like this for some hours now. #coronavirusdiaries #olgadapolga

Rainy day lunch at my mother's. Admiring the view from what used to be my old room, now her study/guest room. The typewriter is just an ornament now, but it was a wedding present from her mother, my grandmother, to go along with all the steel cutlery and ceramic plates and I remember the sound of the keys clattering as a background to my childhood. #rainyday #typewriter #coronavirusdiaries

Yes I know we're not going fucking anywhere but I just bought a new dress anyway. It gives me hope to wait for a nice occasion to wear it and it's so pretty I had to have it I just needed to spend my dwindling bank account on some fluff for a change. Bought off @ajiolife if you're curious, pretty reasonably priced, it's two layers, one transparent with a belt that sits on top of the cotton shift inside. Look at that amazing hemline! Many filters because I couldn't be bothered to put on make up just to wash it off again. So hey! A #whatiworetoday just to #takeitoff again! It brightened my day, that's for sure, something that fashion will always do. #coronavirusdiaries
