Path out of lockdown things to look forward to

Getting back to my gypsy style existence, roaming about, finding new places in Britain to tick off the list. I’m happiest when some wheels are turning round beneath me, taking me somewhere different.
Dressing up for nights out with girlfriends, a real tonic and good laugh. Feeling happy in crowded pubs with live music.
Having family and friends to stay and fussing over them.

Blossoming

I am really looking forward to the resumption of bulky waste collections! We’ve been waiting almost a year to get rid of a mattress and a couple of armchairs, also some bulky garden rubbish. Then we can get on with other plans.

Oh I love this - so down to earth ?

Visiting family in Bristol and NZ.

Closer to home a cup of coffee and cake with a friend indoors in a cafe. I’m not bothered about pubs or eating out, just a simple pleasure.

A hair cut as I haven’t had one for over a year.

Being free of this house arrest seeing my family and hugging my gorgeous little granddaughters. Going out for meals and drinks with friends whenever the mood takes us. Going to our favourite rugby club and watching a rugby match.

Seeing family and friends. It’s funny, some of them are so far away that Facetime or WhatsApp is normal, but when we can’t even do a once year visit, it’s appalling.
Hair and nails. Oh how I miss a good haircut - I’m getting used to DH doing the colour but I’m not risking cutting.
Coffee with friends
Holidays and not having to fight to get a refund!
Work with physical contacts, not just Teams or Zoom.

Being spontaneous and not having to plan every move.

Being able to go to Theatre and cinema and Library.
Being able to go out and just pop in to a restaurant for a meal without having to book in advance.
Being able to go to visit National Trust properties and animal parks
Having friends and family come to visit and stay overnight.
Go to visit friends and family for overnight stays.
Having this whole fog of fear that hangs over us to be lifted

How did that mixed post happen!

I haven’t missed anything really, that is you soon get used to do without.

Seeing family. I haven’t seen my grandchildren or my younger son for a year. The last time I saw my elder son was August, I think.

Going to the dentist, I have no evidence anything is wrong, but I would like to be sure, and get it sorted if necessary.

Hairdresser would be nice, but dentist is far more important.

Being able to invite friends and family to our new home, which we bought at the end of August 2020 and haven't been able to have anyone here yet!

Esspee gave me a chuckle though for me it’s “ we have docked in Jersey will all drivers return to their cars”

Walking down the aisle and hearing those magical words.............

“This is your captain speaking”

I have two holidays booked transfers from last year can just wait and see they are uk and Jersey
I am pretty fed up of staying at home even a day trip to the seaside would be a treat

Not being mindful of who's around me when I shop. I dodge people like I'd dodge a bullet and it's not normal.

Seeing my GGC. Going to D's house to view the work's that's been done this last 18 months as it started before lockdown----and even during too.

Meeting up with friends and catching up with their news/ lives. These are lovely friends from my working years who make me feel alive and that's got to be good.

Seeing my daughter and grandson and hearing him play his guitar for me.

A hairdo

A round of golf with anyone really.

Eating out - so bored of my own cooking

Time alone
