How I'm getting through isolation: James Bracey shares his favourite 'iso outfit' during lockdown
While many Aussies are still struggling to get through their week in coronavirus isolation without being able to flick on the footy, nobody knows their pain better than sports presenter James Bracey.
James undoubtedly has a passion for sport — he covers the Australian Open and anchors Nine's weekly coverage of the NRL, along with the popular Sports Sunday program — so he gets it when you say, "All I want to do is watch the footy!"
But with a new baby girl and his beautiful wife, it seems as though James has been managing to keep himself busy, from binge-watching Billions to snacking on ginger nut cookies.
Here, he shares a little bit about what he's been reading, watching and doing during isolation, including his favourite 'iso outfit'.
TV show/s I'm bingeing: Billions is back! The week in between episodes is agony though. Also been getting my weekly dose of the Michael Jordan doco. I grew up in the '90s and still have all my old basketball cards of that era. Full nerding out!
What I want to watch next: Footy. Please. Just give me the footy.
What I've always wanted to watch but haven't had the time until now: Old movies I watched as a kid. But weirdly I still haven't found time.
What I'm re-watching: The Wiggles. Over. And over. And over again. "E.M.M.A… EMMA!"
What shows my castmates have recommended: Nothing legal.
Most surprising iso TV discovery: Tiger King. WTF?
My preferred binge-watching snack: Easy — ginger nut biscuits.
Book/s I'm reading: Hotel Kerobokan. Wowee. If you go to Bali, don't get into trouble.
Podcast/s I'm listening to: Six Tackles with Gus. Not really. But anyone reading this should listen to it.
Hobbies I've taken up: Vacuuming.
DIY project I'm attempting: Mowing.
People I'm FaceTiming the most: My parents/in-laws, so our 18 month old can kiss the screen, find the red button and hang up. Repeat.
Go-to iso outfit: Actually wearing it right now as I type this, hoodie and trackies. I know I'm not alone. Bet you're reading this wearing the exact same thing. Gotcha!
How else are you spending your days? What are you doing to maintain a sense of 'normal' during this time? Walking the dog once a day. Nothing like picking up dog poop to remind you of your place in life.
