April '20 | The Lockdown Edition
How to get your Massamen fix during quarantine. Stay tf at home.
We’re back. And introducing our brand new delivery directory 👇
Well that escalated quickly.
Seems like only yesterday that we were mocking people wearing plastic bags on their heads. And now they’re the required item of Spring/Summer 2020.
Maybe you’re using lockdown as an opportunity for some R&R. You’re rolling out of bed in the morning, opening your laptop just in time for 9am, taking a long lunch, and spending your afternoons Googling whether virginity can grow back.
Maybe you’ve gone the other way - today, you’ve baked banana bread, done online courses in 3 languages (gelukkig Pasen!), balanced your chakras, started growing pea plants (with whom you have conversations), and exercised 4 times, all in an attempt to banish the scaries. You’ve lost it.
Living with siblings again after a few glorious years apart? Well, get ready to have actual physical fights over whether their foot can touch your side of the sofa.
It fucking can’t.
It’s been pretty cool to see the world come together to unite over a few things:
👏the NHS
Tiger King is the best show ever. EVER. (She definitely did it).
The difficulties of WFH. Some of our top tips:
Check you’ve left your last video conference call before starting to undress
Schedule your emails so that they send later. Say, at 5.30pm. You’re still working. You have proof.
Expense your booze shop. Friday drinks were very clearly stated as an employee benefit on the job description and I don’t see why that would change now.
For The Massamen, whilst visiting restaurants is somewhat on pause, we were prepared for this day. Cos we bloody love a delivery.
Some of our favourite places in the capital are making heroic efforts to keep good grub on your plates. We’ve taken the best ones and listed them out for you.
So treat yourself and support them. Get the good plates out. Remove your blanket cape and put on something slinky to meet the delivery driver at the door.
We’ll try to keep the list up to date - let your friends know to make their quarantine a smidge better.
Got a place you love that delivers that we haven’t added to this list? Let us know and we’ll take a look.
Written remotely 😢
Stay safe,
The Massamen
