Hello everyone this is the game podcast from the Times and I'm Natalie Sawyer

thank you for sticking with us during lockdown joining me today are Gregor

Robertson and Jonathan Northcroft.

Good to have you both on this latest pod.

Five weeks now we're into lockdown.

And I kind of wondered, have either of you learned any new skills?

Jonathan?

I've done a lot of cooking, so I've learned a few new recipes.

Very good.

I haven't, I actually, depressingly I think I've just kept all the same old faults

and probably haven't progressed as a human being at all.

I looked around my office and the one thing I thought lockdown was going to bring was a tidy office because I'd have so much time here and I still haven't done it six weeks later.

I'd love to tell you about a journey but I probably

haven't been on one. No I think there's many people that have piles of things just just piling up

just naturally it happens I think in some ways you either are very active or you just become a little bit lazier

in certain on certain let's say in certain times and certain days that's that sort of thing

about you Gregor apart from your pressups, what have you been doing?

I'm going to say cocktails.

I never made a cocktail in my life before lockdown.

And certainly in the first week or two when out the summer shine and and

i think got the end of most days and i thought i could do with something alcoholic

i was making make it a mean margaritas actually.
