My lockdown has been hard. At first, it was OK and even a bit nice being around my family. However, the pressures of working, homeschooling, chores, etc. became increasingly stressful.

The lockdown has not been all bad; I have gotten to know my neighbours much better and am working on a more sustainable pace.


Sean A. Adams is Senior Lecturer in New Testament and Ancient Culture at the University of Glasgow.
