COVID-19 Rules - Love them or Hate them?

Craig

I very much see the world in black and white (right and wrong), so I love it when there is a clearly defined set of rules to live by. I'm also indifferent about people, so there has been no real downside to the social distancing rules for me personally. That said, I hate rule breakers and I cannot help but say something when people are not socially distancing from me. This has led to a number of confrontations over the past year, that could've have been avoided, if I could only manage to keep my mouth shut! Overall though, I would say that the COVID-19 rules have been good for me personally, as they align with my general outlook on life. What about you lovely people?

  • I was very happy with lockdown when it happened and was more than happy to walk locally for exercise and have everything delivered to my door. The cessation of the plethora of tradesmen ignoring my "no cold calling" sign and trying to peddle their wares  was an added bonus.

    Now I can work from home - and I am more productive and happier doing so (give or take a few stressful days) - which has finished off the commute permanently. No way will I go back into the office to work on a remote team when I can do that perfectly well from my study (read: spare room!).

    Having said that - I miss travelling in the UK. The larger historic cities, saturday markets when I could rummage around bric n' brac, going somewhere quiet for a meal and being waited on for an hour - all these could be exhausting because of navigating people but I'm starting to miss those things. 

    I'm ready to mix again with the world. But it'll be at a nice slow pace. 

    (I'm with you on the rule breakers - especially those folk who let their mask drop under their nose - and then leave it there!)

    I love walking and I also geocache, and those were the only two things I missed during lockdown. Not being able to jump in the car and head off to the countryside, or round up a series of caches in another county. I live in a small village and there's only so many times I can walk the same stretch of canal with my dog before I start going crazy! That said, I'm now finding it very difficult to start going out and about about again. I usually walk/cache in remote areas so rarely meet other people, but I still can't get myself out the door....
