PETE Life In SW6

PETER

We awoke as per our long standing alarm and went for a jog. It’s a weird thing at the moment being at once cocooned in our houses and yet entirely at liberty to leave and behave as we wish. That combination of entrapment and freedom breeds some bizarre contradictions for me emotionally. Is it a choice, a preference, a desire or an imposition.

I am enjoying the British mind, or at least the parts of it that speak to, trying to make sense of what a lockdown is. The two ends of the spectrum appear to be the tolerable but frightening troops on the street at one end extreme and the intolerable and reassuring closing of the pubs. As if our collective minds can only truly locate ourselves between those two realities.
