I've done streamed pub quizzes the last couple of Saturdays, with friends also participating. It's a good way to get a Sat evening in and have a bit of a laugh. I would have gone to the gym a couple of times a week but have substituted that for jogging outdoors.
Tbh during the week it's not a big departure from normal. I'm still working the same hours, just in a different location. It's a bit more stressful, as the network struggles to cope with so many users, and I'm incredibly impatient. But I'm not finding myself getting bored, that's for sure.
We're also in the process of arranging a bit of online poker amongst a group of mates, which is an easy way to pass an evening by. Though I'd prefer to stick to weekends on it, as it could go on for a while!

Did a pub quiz on Friday myself. Was a good laugh especially as everyone was getting battered whilst answering
Email your MP and demand the correct safety kit is delivered immediately to all NHS staff and other front line workers.
I was on a Zoom call with some mates for about 5 hours last night. A lot of people seem to be getting on this app call Houseparty too, I'll be using that tonight with my old mates from university.
Aside from that, I'm now working from home full time unless there is a necessity for me to go to the office to deal with something that can't be dealt with remotely. I'm doing some much needed tidying around my flat. Watching a lot of TV which I think is unavoidable really. But I will be making a list of TV boxsets on Netflix that I can binge through, just by looking at the entire catalogue and watching anything that sounds even slightly interesting. Hopefully I'll be able to go the pub again before I reach the end of that list.
I'm sure I'll think of other things as time goes by though.
Zoom has become so well known during this crisis
I'm WFH , spend my day watching skynews and playing PS4 getting paid for it.
Finish at 5 have dinner spend time with wife and kids . Not PS4 bed read bunk up if she's game repeat.
The first rule of cross fit is...
Tell everyone you do CrossFit.
Fair play op glad to see you are keeping busy, I’d be out running but I bust my leg. Waiting for it to heal. Home gym too, but I’m also still full time wfh.

Take a bit of advice from the Nick Hornby book About a boy.
Break tasks into units of time 30-60 minutes.
Plan work and social activities into blocks and spread during the day.
I have sorted working from home during my initial 12 week isolation. Taking an hour and a half at lunch to get on the turbo trainer and do some riding.
Then work early/later to cover that.
A good mix of activities is key.
Plus online meetings with video, I miss the office environment for fun/social during the day.
I went to my church's online service through Zoom this morning, it was great.

That’s pretty good. CrossFit is very good for all fitness aspects so definitely worth keeping up.
I’m just eating Shiite and drinking loads of ale.

Yeah that's a prerequisite. The one we did last night bizarrely doesn't give the scores or answers til today. Which I'm not a fan of. As a huge part of the fun is seeing how you're doing, relative to everybody else throughout the quiz. It was a very well done quiz though.

Yeah high intensity stuff has a habit of doing that. I’ve just downloaded an app to help tailor sone lunchtime workouts for the foreseeable....
Got a stack of books I've either to finish, or start reading.
Won't be playing my live kit anytime soon, so dusting off my practise pad, and will brush up my drum rudiments (Zzz...).
Luckily, Netflix is still a relative novelty for me. Started Ozark a couple of days ago, on the recommendation of another thread here. And discovered Sons Of Anarchy is also on there, so I've the final season of that to finally watch after all these years!
Apart from that, a bit of gardening, whilst catching up on some podcasts.
Still not sure this is going to be nearly enough to get me through to June. Still at least the house will be spotlessly clean for the next few month...
We could use this time to do some soul searching.
