With today’s announcement that the Sydney lockdown will be extended by another 4 weeks, it looks like we’re going to have to stay home just a little longer.
More than a year since the pandemic began, many of us are still figuring out how to deal with life indoors. Others, though, seem to have figured it out nicely.
Here’s a round-up of the sweet and funny tweets about lockdown life so far:
A majority of the day is spent eating, or planning what to eat next

Some days can feel like a rollercoaster of emotions
Irony of not being able to travel is that the last 18 months have felt mostly like being on a plane, focusing like mad on each meal, checking the flight tracker and watching things that don’t make you cry.

Almost overnight, we’re all expert Olympics commentators
Ok Sydney likely having an extra 4 weeks of lockdown. But we only have a week and a half of the Olympics left. The thought of doing lockdown without the olympics is now terrifying. Channel 7 I’m begging you to replay Sydney 2000 in full after Tokyo is over

Who hasn’t stress-eaten at least once during lockdown, right?
I should really stop setting fitness goals in 2021…One week I am hitting 80k steps, doing yoga and lifting and the next one I devour mini cakes for breakfast before “much-awaited” pressers… #VicLockdown pic.twitter.com/n8z6fhxVKc

Instead of toilet paper, I’d rather we were panic buying vaccines. #sydneylockdown

Leisurewear has never felt so good
My first Oodie arrived today and I don’t know if lockdown’s messing with my emotions again, but I legit teared up when I put it on an realised how warm and snuggly I feel

Still, there’s always a silver lining…
I broke the bad news to my 4 year old daughter about Sydney’s 4 week lockdown extension today:
Reaction: “yay!”
I hear “lockdown”, she hears “family time”, “crafternoons” and “home play with dad”
