Much missed through Virus

polnan I've lost trust in hospital doctors they allowed my COVID Free husband to catch the bloody thing in hospital. He didn't recover. So in affect the doctors in the hospital killed him.

I’ve missed a holiday in the sun and seeing my stepchildren that live abroad. Although we are out and about again life just feels different.

Proper Holidays.

A wedding in France, seeing my sister who lives in Australia as she generally flies back each year or I visit her, being able to turn up at the V&A without having to prebook, the theatre, overseas holidays, meeting up in my friend’s homes - some of them are still very nervous. I hate wearing a mask but do! Someone else mentioned the vet. We had to sit in car park with the cats in their basket and ring the receptionist. The vet came out and took them away, a while later she brought them back after their annual checkup.

Family.
But i will make up for that as and when safe to do so.

I am a carer for my disabled husband and support of all kinds was stopped last year . It’s been hellish, I really need some time away but it’s not going to happen soon.
I feel that unpaid relation carers are totally taken for granted .

So true, my husband doesn't like me being away and won't accept other help. It can be hard.

Nothing gone back to normal.Been to music events, pub,shopping and eating out and will be going to the cinema when the new Bond film comes out at the end of the month.Life is nearly back to normal thank goodness!

After going to our local theatre last night for a musical evening, I realised I hadn’t missed being in amongst people indoors! The act was brilliant but it was spoiled by some of the inconsiderate people in the audience, they seemed to have no thoughts for the people around them who had also paid for their seats! My DH has severe health issues and he found it very uncomfortable. Shame, but we won’t be going again!!!

Picking DGC from school. DD working from home, so there for them.

As September and the new academic year, I have suddenly realised I am not signed up for any classes and I hadn't had emails or leaflets informing about them.

I went online but all the extramural classes at my local university are reduced to a trickle of online classes and the local further education college doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.

My thoughts go out to all those people who used to teach these classes, many retired academics and slef employed crafts people, who have suddenly lost a useful extra stream of income.

I miss the freedom of travel to see my Daughter and Grandchildren,plus my Mum(lost Dad 2 years ago) They only live a short flight away,I would fly over every few weeks and could be there within 24 hours in an emergency..We went 15 months apart! It broke my heart.I know we have more freedom now,but I personally don't feel comfortable flying and won't resume normal travel for some time,but we were able to sail over safely.I'm immuno compromised and need to be cautious.Im just so thankful we have got through everything this far...

I miss meeting my Open University friends as we normally meet up once a year at least .
Roll on next year when we can all meet up again - although we have lost 3 members, one through covid, one through cancer and one through MS. We are an aging group mostly so I really love getting together every chance we get while we still can!

Missing singing in a community choir , crochet classes in local wool shop and Tia chi classes for my balance and the get together afterwards with tea and cakes !

I miss having my house as a home!!! I miss a proper workplace, in the office with people around. I miss chats with people over morning coffee. I miss my commute (yes!). I miss my lunchtime walk in the park near work. ? And more ?

I miss having a walk by myself. It was probably the only break I got, stuck at home with Mam before lockdown.
Not that she really needs me 24/7, it's just that I don't want to make her anxious on her own when she's not used to it now.

I agree - I am not very sociable and it has been an ideal opportunity not to have to socialise! Having said that, I do miss seeing my children and grandchildren.

Being able to hear what people are saying to me rather than watching their face mask do a dance. There's only so many time you can say 'pardon?'
