The clocks jumped forward an hour today so what seemed like a good lie was probably just a fiction. Leila still didn’t feel great in the morning and had a super weird night of dreams (excel and grandmas). Alex taught Leila how to make coffee and she made the best of all the coffees yetContinue reading “Day 12: Beginning of the Storm”

Monday 30 March 2020 Leila woke up with her migraine and dizziness, but fortunately her stomach had settled a little which meant she could enjoy her daily berry and almond butter porridge as she settled into work. Alex had a lie in and woke up to Leila making a coffee for him (roles have reversed).Continue reading “Day 13: Unlucky for some”

We both continued to wake up early despite the weekend, Alex especially headed upstairs to play games while Leila lay in (lazy right?). We chilled and had a coffee in the garden as usual. Alex attempted latte art for the first time (see below) and the result was a cloud- like looking thing. Coffee itselfContinue reading “Day 11: Three Sisters”

Tuesday 24 March* *We’re actually writing this 4 days later as our blogpost was mysteriously deleted. Disclaimer: the below may be factually inaccurate. Leila woke up earlier than Alex and began work. The day started together with a coffee in the garden (pretty sure this part is accurate… we do this every day). Leila couldn’tContinue reading “Day 7: “It doesn’t really feel like a lockdown””

Alex was super energised and awake in the morning, while Leila was half asleep and feeling very unproductive. Alex spent the whole morning and afternoon (with a couple of zoom sections) working on his final digital transformation project. However, when we walked outside with coffee there was a M&S bag with champagne and two mini-bottles,Continue reading “Day 10: Cookies and Champagne”

Leila started her day doing a virtual barre class at 7.45am with Joohee (based in Berlin). Thanks to Alex’s pro Amazon ordering (*hoarding), Leila had exercise weights but Joohee did not. She used alcohol and water bottles. After a short work stint and a hairwash, Alex woke up and began on the coffee. We wereContinue reading “Day 9: Ventures Outside”

Wednesday 25 March Leila spent the first 2 hours of her day wondering whether Alex would wake up in time to make her a coffee before her hard midday caffeine deadline. He did. He made himself a great coffee first and took it into the shower with him, whilst she waited patiently. It was worthContinue reading “Day 8: A work in pudding”

Monday 23 March We tried an early wake-up, we both got up for the 7.45 alarm, down, showered and coffee in the morning. We worked for a while before coffee, and then Alex experimented with packing the beans really tightly, the coffee comes out suuuuper slowly but also strong (in a good way). We decidedContinue reading “Day 6: LOCKDOWN”

We got out of bed late after a Sunday lie in, Alex made a morning coffee and then Zoomed his family for Mother’s Day. Family were chill at home (mum’s still a little sick with no sense of smell or taste), with Mish at George’s with the dog. We chatted for an hour and everyoneContinue reading “Day 5: Virtual Chat Overload”

Saturday 21 March 2020 We woke up around the same time (for once) and made a coffee with the new espresso machine. The plan for today was for Alex to give groceries to his grandma and Leila to chat with her family. The coffee was pretty experimental but we drank it in the garden Taste:Continue reading “Day 4: A Gran(d) day”
