Anyone nervous about lockdown restrictions ending?

Kit McDaydream

So Boris is gonna make a speech on Sunday about lifting some restrictions. Anyone nervous about what this will mean for expectations to return to daily struggle of 'fitting in' and going out.

I hope the 'bubble thing' happens but is more restrictive than 10 or clearly not more than 2 households (regardless of how many live in each household - my closest family members also live alone so technically that's only 3 of us)  so I can see close family without the expectations of having to meet up socially again with other 'acquaintances'?  (who want to see me more than I want to see them)

  • I have really enjoyed lock down, the sky is more beautiful and I am able to concentrate on the things I enjoy.

    I had a tough time getting to grips with the new way of working and had to do things I was very uncomfortable to do. 

    I don't want to go back to noisy streets, busy roads, grumpy people and I'm not sure I want to go back to the office. I keep thinking if I can work from home somehow. 

    My son has had three major melt downs this week. He's had enough of me and is missing those close to him. He's cross with me because even though we have all this time off I still don't play with him enough but I've got to cook and clean inbetween. I think I'm a bit slow at doing things. Also I've been cross because the living room is full of trains and Lego and there's nowhere to sit and chill out.

    I've not achieved as much as everyone else. I still have endless repairs and decorating to do. Oh and old cameras and tablets to sort out. 

    I'm finding my interests again and am cross with myself for wasting so much time being worried about what people think I had lost myself.
