It was fun for a few months; catching up with the garden and decoratingand so on, but after that, it has just been frustrating.
All the things I enjoy disappeared or went on line. Tai Chi, grandchildren, all my other activities went online. Zoom is a god send but it also makes you realise how much beter the real thing is.
DD daughter and I have always seen ourselves as self contained people. Happy in our own company for days on end. Always with something to do. And that remians broadly true, we are not socialising with friends all the time, but we have both realised how important the outer circle of our socialising is; the people we see each week at the sports centre, the people we meet in classes and on committees, the friends we do meet up with, albeit, not regularly. All are important and we both desperately want this side of our lives back.
