What do you not missed that has changed

Just thinking about how colleagues say goodbye on Teams and enjoy Christmas now. These days most of us work mostly from home. When everyone worked in the office it used to be difficult when there were so many get together, after work drinks etc. at this time of year. Now I no longer need to work out which I can avoid.

  • I don’t miss going to shops and banks and not having a smart phone to take photographs and to text instead of phoning. I don’t miss not having the internet and not being able to search online for things related to my interests. The internet is my happy place because it enables me to learn about all sorts of wonderful things.

    Other things that I don’t miss include:

    Small TV screens and lower picture quality.

    Limited TV channels and no streaming.

    Trawling through library catalogues and having to travel from place to place just to find a book or journal.

    Not having online courses.

    Taxing and insuring my car by post or in person. 

    Inadequate central heating and draughty single glazed windows.

    Old fashioned bathrooms without showers.

    Avocado bathroom and kitchen suites, avocado and orange wallpaper—the colour makes me feel sick.
