Had it not been for the pandemic I wouldn’t have ....

1. Lost a stone in weight (no meals out with friends)

2. Found new walks in my very local area, and combined this with learning about the history of the Black Country and its part in the Industrial Revolution..

3. Realised there's no need to go shopping every other day.

Cleared the loft.

Found out I can amuse myself all day every day.

Phoned and emailed old friends and relatives

Loved the quiet.
Walked by the sea every day.
Did lots of drawing
Nearly completed writing a novel

Would have never imagined what we were capable of: working from home while providing care for our kids, without losing anybody's sanity in the process

Wouldnt have realized the value (and how much I miss) daycare

I have changed my opinion of drive through - from stupid to useful

I didnt realize how introverted my whole family is

Joined gransnet, and it’s really fun.
Watched The Masked Singer, and other questionable programmes. They can be really fun too.
Discovered how much I love my home and garden.
Realised how very much my family mean to me - I knew this before, but more than ever now.
