I'm walking to tesco soon and I'm excited to have something to do

[ssd]

...imagine a year ago being excited about this

Oh well

@Bedforme

Have I killed the thread? No one else been on any exciting adventures to the supermarket or the tip?

I have an appointment at the tip (yes we have to make an appointment) at 9am tomorrow - I have showered & blow dried my hair for the occasion not sure I'll be able to sleep with the excitement of it all

We're ok thanks @ssd. 4 days to go until freedom.

Can't wait to take the dog for a walk! We're having to pay a dog walker at the moment.

Not too long then. We isolated for 2 weeks when dh had it, longest 2 weeks of my life..

How small our lives have become, and how easily we have let this happen. I don't disagree with many of the restrictions (although the threat of 10 years in jail is horrendous), but I worry that this period allows an elected, democratic, government to bring in legislation overnight, without any restraint.

Like others, a trip to the dentist/hygenist/supermarket has provided social communication, which is great, but even this could be taken away overnight, if the government wanted that to happen. When people talk about 'the new normal'; depressing as that is, I think the 'new normal', whilst referring to how we have to live with Covid-19, has also shown how powerless the majority are. There are the people that hold the power, and those who are only allowed to go along with it.

@ssd my DF? 66, and he is NOT a fan of needles hence why I'm going with him in case he feels a bit funny after

The thought of leaving my flat for any reason fills me with dread these days

I turned down a path I’d never walked down before on my daily walk and discovered a small park/open space that I hadn’t even known was there. This was so exciting I had to take photos.
