Movie night with the kids - in the kitchen
No matter what our best intentions were, 2020 has been the spring and summer of screens as parents scramble to WFH while managing homeschooling (ha!), school holidays and children who eat - easily - twice as much as they do while in school.
Early into lockdown, stuck at home and with cinemas on indefinite hiatus, we dug out our unused projector and set up the sitting room for film screening evenings. Now we have a sheet hanging, slightly askew, between the door and a light fitting, while the projector is carefully balanced on top of the stereo. When the popcorn is popped we all - the Small Girl (8), Little Missy (11), the Kiwi and I (older) - line up on the couch for movie nights.
