Is it week seven? Week eight? Are we still counting?
If the prospect of this unrelenting and abnormally quiet new normal has got you into a bit of a mental funk, might I take the liberty of making one suggestion?
Tomorrow morning swerve that holey knit or your favourite tee and instead take the time to put on a crisp, freshly ironed shirt with a pair of jeans.
With comparatively minimal effort required, a great shirt has the power to make you feel at once powerful and put together, yet totally relaxed.
Seriously good shirting is the sartorial equivalent of a bracing walk on a windy beach, the perfect flat white and a mood-boosting pep talk combined; a handshake, a pat on the back and a hug rolled into one if you will.
Think I’m exaggerating? Try it.
