AD's off to Confession

[TheGreatWave]

Started a new one.

Need to adhere to guidelines this time though.

Yikes what happened?!

Just too much chat about another thread Driving

Totally agree. We’ve had issues round here. People who drop litter are scum. People going to the beach however are generally not scum in general. But a small minority taint the others sadly

Thank you @BakewellTarts

I hate anyone dropping litter anywhere. DDs have been well trained and even organise litter picks at their respective schools (in normal times).

I missed all that!! Are we allowed to say what the thread title was?

Oi oi, you lot. What have you been getting up to while I was otherwise engaged then? Honestly, you turn your back for five minutes...

Found you again. How odd. Love the new title though!

I have never before contributed to a deleted thread. Anyway, glad to have found you, and was suggesting things like Grenfell have been forgotten in the Only-Covid-Kills new fucking normal.

Is anyone else feeling a bit uneasy at the moment? About life generally? Like, I’m really happy to be getting a bit closer to normality but it all feels fragile, like it could be taken away at any time. I suppose it’s always been that way, but I never thought about it before. I just dread the idea of retuning to lockdown again, or suddenly getting a phone call telling me we must lock ourselves away for 14 days. Am I the only one? Do I need to give my head a wobble and get on with it?

Nothing guv, 'onest 🤫

I panicked, and thought this was appropriate.

We can have vaginas tomorrow after we fill this one.

It is definitely appropriate.

Well done for quick thinking.

We can go back to vaginas once we've atoned.

I feel exactly the same. Like yes, I really want to go to a pub or a restaurant. Do I want to go badly enough that I may find myself having to self isolate for 14 days (again) afterwards? I don’t think so. Its like being given ‘freedoms’ and then having them snatched right back. And in a society where I’ve become aware that other people are happy to have those freedoms taken away, and think people shouldn’t be doing any of the (normal) things that were permitted to do anyway, as it’s selfish (the new buzz word). It’s... discombobulating. I’m also finding myself withdrawing from friends a bit and from experience I know I do that when I’m sinking into depression.

I think that’s normal. I think I could cope with a fourteen day quarantine if it was just my household and not everyone, but then I don’t have young children. The thought of going back to how things were in April makes me feel sick to my stomach.

My shamefully posh totty crush confession has been eradicated.

Oh do tell! I had a rude dream about Ryan Reynolds last night .

I think I could deal with quarantine after schools close for the summer. Until then in spite of everything we will be careful and follow the rules. DD2 is having a great time with her Year 6 classmates and I want that to continue its a breath of fresh air. The biggest risk we take is with my sister and nephew but as they are struggling with grief having lost my brother in law we are not going to stop seeing them or "bubbling" with them.

Dammit I had vaginas tonight.... 😂😂

I've been having the opposite - weirdly giddy and feeling like everything's fine and neither COVID nor lockdown will ever be a problem again, in defiance of all logic. Suspect it's probably two sides of the same coin though.

Missed the fun by the looks.

It's very hot here. Not loving it

I feel the same. We are hoping to visit family in Greece in August. I also love a pub tea.

However the last thing I want in the summer is to lose my holiday because someone in the pub gets covid.

I mean, how does it work? Even if we are sat outside do we have to quarantine if one random there gets covid?

Ventilated vaginas part two - this time it's personal....

Nope I feel very similar. I'm very happy that we are returning to normal but I can't do this social distancing indefinitely, society can't. I really want to plan things for the future but I don't know if I can. I don't know if I'll have a job if pubs don't return to normal in the future. I don't know if I'll go to all the trouble of booking something for it to then get cancelled if we are still having to isolate left right and centre. That's another thing, how are we supposed to do anything if we have to isolate all the time? Let's say kids go back into their bubbles and one has a temperature. The rest get sent home for either as long as it takes to get a test sent out and then deemed negative or for 2 weeks if the child is positive.

It's all very well shouting that cases are increasing but it really doesn't matter how many cases there are, what matters is the number needing hospital treatment. We could have 200 cases but if 199 of them don't need treatment that's good, it 199 of them do that's bad.

I feel very frightened the twit brigade will manage to get us locked down again. I couldn’t do it.
