Fed up of the restrictions now.

Nowt really... no interest in football, rarely go to the theatre and Pantomime is for Christmas Eve.
Think it's the lack of spontaneity....not been able to pop to a cafe/ restaurant on a whim.
Oh, and the weather...but we can't blame lockdown for that.

 

I’m missing friends and family. I can bear the other inconveniences, but not being able to see my parents is tough.

 

Not missing too much, really. Been there, done it.
I’m more saddened by our kids not being able to do much.
16 and 18 year old birthdays, this year.
Should have been out having a laugh, with their mates, getting up to all sorts of nonsense, like we all(?) did, at those ages...

 

Friends and family get togethers.

 

Going and sitting on the boat having a cup of tea watching the harbour go by.
My elderly mother needs an external pipe lagged, I will do that sometime this week, clearly that is essential.

 

Going to the football , pub, going for a curry, the barbers

 

I like it. It’s keeping the mother in law away

 

Not been able to go camping this year - toilet and shower facilities put a stop to that.
Now we have last week had our hotel booking in The Lakes cancelled - so our 50th Anniversary was celebrated on our own - but with the kids and grandkids on Zoom last night and neighbours brought a cake round for us.
But at least we can go to the WWT centre at Martin Mere down the road for a walk about with the Geese, Ducks Swans etc. even if the cafe and shop is closed.

 

Just been on the dog to Alf saying my local has done everything it can to stay safe and keep open. Now it risks going out of business with no cases reported in the pub and lots spent on measures taken. Same with the cafe we go in on a Friday morning.

 

Spontaneity for sure, that was a wonderful thing that retirement allowed. I could do off for a few days any time the weather looked good or nip to to the plumbers merchants or whatever if I needed something that was holding me up.
Other than that...

 

We just take the dog out walking.... oh how the other half live!
Congratulations btw Cam & Mrs Cam

 

Have your ballet classes been cancelled, Malc?

 

Playing in my bands. We had a handful of gigs outside when the restrictions were eased. Apart from that we've not played since March and no prospect of doing so for the foreseeable future. Who knows if New Year's Eve is going ahead?

At least I'm lucky I stuck with a day job. A couple of my band mates play professionally (in another band) and are self employed. They have really suffered
