dakotabluerichardsBy Jiye Xue. It’s untitled but I like to think it’s called ‘Day four of quarantine and you’ve already played all the board games in the house.’
.
If you’re in isolation and you’re sick or, like me, caring for somebody that is, I empathise and wish you all the best. And if you’re super bored I’ll do my best to suggest things to get you through. Or feel free to ask me a question and I’ll try to give an interesting answer.
.
And if you’re not in isolation and you have the time and or money to spare, please do your best to support people around you that are more vulnerable or more in need than you are. We’re all in this together x
