Do you, like me, hardly ever leave your house? ?

Sones sunshine? Please could you explain to me what that is! It is dull and dry here but at least it is not cold.

I’m not housebound, but recently, find it easier to just stay in……..laziness, that’s what it is.

I'm not housebound but my brother is. He used to be a very keen sportsman so misses that badly, but he has found a niche making and selling craft items on the internet. I don't live near him and can visit rarely - he's immunosuppressed too so Covid has made things very difficult. I know it's lonely for him.
He says the winter months are easier for him as he doesn't feel that he's the only one stuck indoors. I've tried to encourage him to get on Gransnet but he thinks all we talk about is knitting and HRT. If only he knew!! I'll show him this lovely thread and it might change his mind. I hope you're all enjoying the sun streaming in through your windows as it is here.

Daisend1 I am in your camp. I cannot walk far but I can get out if I was so bothered.

I now tell myself if I spend a day indoors I am saving money which is definitely true.

A harsh winter is not going to help us, it will have to be mind over matter I think.

DH finds walking difficult so yes we are if not precisely house-bound greatly restricted in our possiblities regarding outdoor activities. If they involve a bike, he's is all right, but I frequently are not, due to a peculiar side-effect of a thyroid imbalance affecting my sight.

So often, either he goes out, quite rarely, or I do.

Hope things improve for us all.

This makes it hard for me to feel justified in staying out more than a couple of hours.

I am not housebound but finding it difficult to get myself 'out and about'.Never used to be like this and even the need to do my shopping is an effort. Should I be blaming the period of lock down for this.?

Fanny I am surrounded by wonderful scenery, I can see the mountains from my bungalow . No idea when the doors will be fitted.

I have a potting table in my garden ready to plant seeds but !

I have made an indoor garden in a corner of my living room, lots of house plants

Thank you timetogo
Annie that’s tough not being able to go into your garden. I always imagine you surrounded by wonderful scenery.
Have you any idea when your doors will be replaced?

Hello, me too, I live alone so am very isolated, bought a wheelchair in February but can’t even go into the garden , waiting for new front and back doors to be fitted , and no longer have family living near so depend on FaceTime chats .

A BIG HELLO from me to you both.
I`m not FC but my two Aunt`s are and it really does get them down.
I do can to help and they do appreciate it.
I really do feel for them and anyone who is in that situation tbh.
