What happens when a global pandemic shrinks life to a claustrophobic domestic sphere? Some of us adapt, some of us protest, some of us reassess our goals, and some of us, like Tim Dowling, barely notice the difference.
In his Guardian column Tim has chronicled a life of small nothings for 12 years. What's it like to suddenly find the rest of the world doing the same? Explore life in lockdown with a leading expert in never going anywhere if he can help it.
