Sam Neill’s quarantine updates have made us love him even more
Quarantine is going to be different for everyone. For example, Prince Charles isolating from Camilla at Balmoral is a very different story to someone living in a flat with three kids and a dwindling supply of patience.
Sam Neill, however, was always going to do quarantine well, because the man’s so laid back he’s virtually horizontal. Here are a few posts he’s shared so far that prove it.
How to deal with any extra time you might have.
SELF ISOLATION . Time on your hands? Of course. So put it to good use if you can. Here’s how I do it… ( also… stay calm, stay safe) pic.twitter.com/fP8TmP5LBd

There was this update on the behaviour of his beloved pig, Angelica.
BAD BAD PIG. 2 weeks from harvest, grapes are close to ripe, and the nets are on to keep out greedy creatures, like birds. And certainly PIGS. And who got caught red handed yesterday? Red trottered anyway . I can't get back to the farm at the mo. But I have issued a STERN WARNING pic.twitter.com/dMGP45dGyZ

Best of all, perhaps, is his decision to take up the ukulele again.
SELF ISOLATION . Thought I’d pick up a uke after all this time and sing something cheerful. I can only apologise … pic.twitter.com/D0j7chfKb0

HOW TO MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF on Twitter . Pick up a uke and do MORE bad singing for the ( more or less ) common good .#StayAtHomeSaveLives But … a few more months , I might pass muster . Please . As much as you can, #stayhome, keep in touch on Skype or FaceTime, stay safe. pic.twitter.com/EsHtdnh88l

We’re not sure how well the rest of us would cope if we were quarantined with a ukulele player, but it’s a welcome diversion as long as we can choose when to hear it.
If you don’t follow him already, do it now – he’ll be good for your blood pressure.
