يونيوLife on lockdown with 4 roommates: How will I ever get anything done?
The celebrity-approved brand is also adored by Selena Gomez, Sofia Richie, Sienna Miller, and Kendall Jenner. This dreamy dress will be gaining them more fans by the minute, with its fit and flare silhouette, voluminous skirt, and asymmetric hem.
I eat my lunch in the living room. A mushroom rolls off the plate and onto Esther and Rachael's half-finished puzzle of Venice. Miraculously, no one is around to see it. I don't clean the mushroom smudge off the puzzle. I hate the puzzle.
I serve dinner an hour late. Everyone likes it. No one says anything about the guac. The table is talking food. About spices, produce and how to give different dishes a "kick." I smile and nod. I'm tired of socializing. I wonder when I'll get a chance to finish watching Peaky Blinders. Cillian Murphy is so magnetic as Thomas Shelby.

DUNE HOUSE, BERGEN, homeschooling assessments for adults HOLLAND: This three-storey abode is perched on a dune crest 1,000ft (300m) from the sea in the Dutch province of Bergen. The book reveals: 'Its tall, rounded form blends well with the neighbouring dune and slender pine trees that guard it.' Jetty and Maarten Min are the designers behind the 'highly unique and sustainable home'
As the Geordie duo introduced Nicole and asked how she was enjoying Florida, the star replied: 'Oh my gosh, boys, I am absolutely loving it, I'm loving this heat. I'm praying for your precious little British foreheads right now.
Two of my four housemates, Dan and Esther, walk in. The power couple of our Sydney house. Working in a shared home is great -- when people aren't around. But now, because of the coronavirus lockdown, everyone is in the house. All the time.
I buy food for seven -- myself and four housemates, plus Garrett (Rachael's significant other) and Charlotte (my significant other). Garrett's a nice man. Charlotte doesn't think I can cook for seven. I think she hates me.
Since most people in the house work odd hours, usually it's rare for more than two people to be home at the same time. Usually. Since social distancing went into effect in Australia in March, all five of us have been home almost every night. To celebrate the novelty, we've done a family dinner almost every other night. Tonight is my turn to cook.

It's time for lunch. I feel like I've done nothing. I'm stressed. I listen to lectures on Chinese history while cooking, under the guise of research for a story due next month. I'm learning new things about the Cultural Revolution as I fry eggs and sauté mushrooms. This is the most productive I've felt in hours.

Someone's asked me how my day was. I tell them how I struggled to write a column. They have ideas. Hugh suggests writing one about my kitchen struggles. Dan wants me to review A Way Out, an obscure 2018 co-op game, so that we can play it together during work hours. Charlotte brings up a column I wrote about The Lion King last year, just to remind me she thinks it felt "too contrived." She does hate me.
I shuffle into the kitchen and pour a cup of homemade cold brew. I put three servings of coffee beans in and it still just tastes like water. I miss morning coffees, perking up through caffeine and the thrill of talking to work people about other work people. I miss commuting to and from the office and how it creates a physical barrier between life and work. I still don't know what to write about. Maybe gratitude in the coronavirus era could be a column?
