My wife and I and our 2 sons have been limiting our time outside in public for months because of COVID but now we can't even go outside and play in our backyard because we are surrounded by wild fires. We now have the worst air quality in the world!
I guess we should be thankfully that we live about 10 miles from the evacuation lines and still have our house and lives but we're going stir crazy!
I just went to get some supplies at the store and my eyes are burning from the 15 minute trip. This entire town is like the smoky side of a camp fire.- different disasters my man, this is not covid related...grafician
- oh wait, you live in the US, in California? Wow...my badgrafician
- and yes, I accept being bad here, the quality of my air rn is dictated by the guys outside fixing the boulevard before elections...grafician
- but good luck mate, stay safe!grafician
- jfc, I can't even imagine. As a new father myself I empathize, if it's not one life threatening thing it's another. Best of luck & hang in therewhatthefunk

Was on my first proper jobsite this week since lockdown started, painting an outdoor courtyard with a mate, it's an outdoor space for new students starting next week in town.
Some joiners built the space before us and there was some crossover, but the space is pretty open and mostly empty.It's been interesting coming into the city centre everyday, getting to see how different businesses are dealing with mask wearing, some places don't care, 2 of the little cafes we went for lunch didn't seem to be bothered. Tescos had clear signage and required masks, but mostly it's all over the place.
Driving back tonight I saw a nightclub with freshers outside, the club looked full, it's a basement one with low ceilings, the kind you end up in when completely hammered and catch the flu at the best of times. I think it's maybe classed as a bar so that's how they get round it being open.
Was good to be out working properly, physically painting, it almost felt normal, though the company I used to get 90% of my work from went into liquidation last week nationwide, being an events company they just couldn't see a return for a long time and the warehouses were sitting unused for months.
Walking around town it looks like a lot of bars won't open their doors again, some shops look like they'd never opened at all in 6 months. If there's another lockdown more will go too.
Will grab proper photos of the space tomorrow.

How are you parents doing with school? I have a 1st grader and zoom calls are wack.

- Thank god my kids are in university. I feel for you guysGnash
- My twins actually opted to do the optional summer school classes for sixth grade. Also, remote school is better than having to deal with a toddler or infant.evilpeacock
