To ask if you had one virus-free day how would you spend it?

[Thaimoon]

As in 24 hours where Covid never existed. How would you use yours?

I'd spend the day with my siblings and their families.

Really missed playing board games with my brothers this Christmas. I'd gather my brothers, cousins and families at my aunty's house for some chaos (7 kids under 7) followed by extensive board game playing.

I'd go and give my mum a huge cuddle and kiss. She's in a nursing home and the last time I gave her a proper cuddle was on the 6th March and it seems so long ago.

Right now we're allowed to have 30 minute visits in a pod, where I chat to her through the window, into a microphone every fortnight (we have to take it in turns, each resident gets one visit a week so my sister goes one week and I go the next). It feels a bit like when they're in prison in the films where they chat through the glass on the phone! It's better than nothing and I feel lucky to be able to see her but I'm dying to give her a squeeze!

Ok, next I would go to town and have a browse round the shops. I'd choose some clothes and try them on! Then I'd have a nice lunch in a cafe.

In the evening it would be lovely to go out for a meal and then to a few bars. The cinema would be great or the Theatre.

Big family bbq (my virus free day is in the summer) mine and my siblings kids playing together, spending time with my parents, grandparents and extended family.

I’d get myself up north to see my best friend and her baby. He’s 15 months now and I’ve never met him 😢 Really want a cuddle!

Boozy pub lunch with all the friends I haven't seen for more than 9 months.

Of course, after all this time I might not recognise them.

I’d teleport to rural Minnesota (given we’re talking fantasy already) and see my brother and my family, including my 6 month old nephew I’ve never met. Either that or teleporting to Scotland to see terminally ill MIL.

I've met my 6 month niece once.

So 1 full day. Wake up and discover them on the doorstep, take sister and niece out for breakfast at my favourite cafe, then walk to see the ducks at the pond go on the swings then take my niece for a swim while my sister gets so.e down time for a hour. Afterwards meet with sister and mum who has also popped down (were all in a triangle with over 3 hours between each) so we all go out for a roast at the pub then a couple try walk where we take lots of photos. Back to mine for tea, cake snuggles playing and more cuddles. Then bath time and cuddle up with a clean tired fresh baby in bed with stories until she falls asleep. Then wine and chat with sister and mum.

I'd go to a theme park for the day with my sister and my three year old. We'd ride all the rides, eat crap and watch the fireworks show in the evening (my daughter would be perfectly behaved and not tantrum, strop, freak out or whine!).

Shopping and lunch in town with my DM DStepDad and my DC.
I'd treat us all to something nice in the shops then we'd probably end up in Pizza Hut if the dc chose where to eat!
Later I'd allow dc to invite a friend each and have a sleepover.

Big family gathering and a trip to the theatre..

Probably exactly the same as the covid days not much had changed for me day to day ita only the "nice days out" that are a bit stuffed

Moonmelodies

A quiet day in????!!!

I'd try to recreate the Christmas meet up with DHs family.
We normally go on a long walk with a pub stop (old pub, log fire etc) en route, with probably 14 family and friends, then go back to one of the families houses for food, meet up with PIL, and have kareoke/games/silly challenges in the eve.

Afternoon matinee musical with family followed by relaxed party in the evening.

Also I'd hope to squeeze in a parkrun in the morning!

Or just be somewhere hot on holiday!

Once nursery opens again, covid isn't really stopping me doing anything I want to do - that's the toddler's doing. Everyone I know also has a toddler.

I would like to go and have some childfree fun with my sister.

To visit my dad overseas so he can meet his 6 month old granddaughter for the first time

Warehouse party

I’d have the Christmas I had to cancel with my elderly parents. The presents are here all wrapped up and most of the meal we were going to have is in their freezer. If I can get there and back in time I’d go to the pub until midnight.

A yoga workshop with my yoga buddies and a meal out.

I'd start by putting nice clothes on, a bit of make up, nice earrings, rings and bracelets, and I'd meet my boyfriend in Central London, we'd have a breakfast in a nice hotel or restaurant, and then we'd go for a gallery tour in Mayfair.
After that, we'd go to Dover Street Market to have a nice coffee + cake.
And in the evening, we'd go for a pizza and a drink with a friend or two in South London, maybe even go to several bars.
We'd probably be in bed at 11 anyway!

I think a day on Jersey. Parkrun in the morning, nice lunch out in my favourite cafe, a long walk in the afternoon and then a meal in the evening at my favourite restaurant.

This thread is making me sad all the replies sound wonderful! Simple things we can't risk doing now
