COVID 19 and my top 5 isolation games

COVID 19: Slowest. Apocolypse. Ever.

I hope this finds you safe and well during these unusual circumstances. COVID 19 isolation has given me some much treasured time with the family (minus my eldest who is isolating with my Mum). We played board games. We played Wii games. Family time is great but being together 24/7 isn't particularly healthy either. I was starting to look a bit Catweazle so I had the Missus perform the "Quarantine Cut" on me by shaving…
