What will you MISS when the lock down ends??

I think I wrote my last post on a lovely sunny cheerful day. Because right now I just want this to end before I lose my sanity.

The peace, the quiet, the fresh air.
Not having any appointments at all.
Lazing about, all day if I want to.
Putting most things off until tomorrow....or the next day...or whenever.

As we all get back to normal life, I think less people will be exercising, I enjoy chatting to random local people on my walks, at a safe distance. I don't think neighbours will look out for each other quite the way they are now. I will miss sitting in the sun all afternoon, not clock watching and not feeling guilty. I will miss all the free time I have to follow my hobbies. I think the environment will suffer again too, I will miss the lack of chem trails in the air, the fresher air I'm breathing because of less traffic on the road etc

Lovely drive Dancing gran. My son has taken me there when I visit from NI.

The nice weather.

I will miss the scenery on my drive to work over Pendle Hill. I have been deployed to a different service within the NHS and will return to my usual service and place of work once it's back up and running.

Chewbacca, make you right! No bra, no make up, no formal clothes, working at home on my puter in my nighty if I felt like it. Slob ain't I?

Genie10 you beat me to it. I don't want to give up the lovely clean air, lack of pollution and all the birds and animals that have suddenly appeared in sharp focus. It will be such a shame to go back to how it was.

I shall miss the Joe Stilgoe Sessions in the Shed broadcast on Youtube every day. Such a talented and nice guy. He seems to be a walking music encyclopedia. He has birdsong in the background.

I've loved the slower pace.
I'm a poor sleeper and if I get to sleep at 8am that's been ok.
It will be wonderful to do the 2 days childcare again and have so much missed hugs from dgc.

But just a little part of me has enjoyed the lack of sticky fingers and not getting breakfast ready for their 7am arrival.

I will miss having so much time to do things, no other commitments,
Nice to not have to clock watch or be somewhere, enjoying time for growing veg. Quiet roads, actually thinking about it lots of things, but it will be nice to have freedom to see family and friends again.

Lucca Good for you. Some of us (me) have had to drive to our place of work (key worker)

Birdsong, clean air, quiet roads, no pressure to be anywhere I don't want to be, companionship with Mr P without interruption, clean windows without little finger marks, actually no not that last one!

I will miss the litter free streets and the absence of Jehovah's Witness plagueing me .

I won't miss anything. I recently retired, and started classes which I enjoyed, but lockdown caused them to close.

Having time.
Grannylyn65??‍♀️

Gonna miss my girls when they have to eventually go back to school, I still work 2 days a week but knowing they are here is good for m mentally. At the moment, I'm missing my AC and GSs but can facetime I spose

My son and husband when they go back to work. I retired early due to my son’s ill health and thought it was what I wanted at the time. Been having difficulty finding something else and I imagine it’ll be worse now there’s a recession. Will need to get my life sorted.

We havent lock down, but I will miss not having to rush to apointments,and not having "must do " things,otherwise life will carry on much as it does now for us.
One thing I wont miss are the travel restrictions,I am longing to get to the UK.When can I fly?

Ouch! grannylyn65

Who is that comment for anyway?

Did you mean to be so rude?

You want a medal??

My life hasn't changed really. I have learnt a lot which I will carry forward. I also discovered the joy of cluck and collect so will carry on with that.

I will miss the social distancing. I was doing that way before it became fashionable?. But, like others, I will miss the peace and quiet, the new patience that most people seem to have adopted, the clearer air, the birdsong and the sunshine because you bet your bottom dollar the minute it is over the weather will turn!!!
