The odd time that I’ve been out front of the house he cheerily shouts hello and powers on Similarly, the very old brown lady who shuffles past every day in her bright blue sari type dress with a cheery wave This last two weeks I’ve not been able to sit down in chair for more than 30 minutes max, so whenever I’ve had the chance I’ve done the 10 minute “walk around the block” Very therapeutic mate. And I’m seeing more folk doing it Definitely. Part of lockdown is the relative lack of human contact. Charging around at high velocity running or cycling removes the opportunity for that contact. Sure, we need the exercise, but those brief few words to a different face, a smile etc, repeated a few times over the day, can be really helpful. Easier if you can take a dog with you- great ice breaker- but companionship is very important to health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I’ve been so lucky I’ve just been able to crack on and in all honesty apart from the drop in weekly income, my wife loved every minute of it ...it’s affected folk differently, and in my job I’ve seen every variance of this. Some families were on the edge before easing. Other couples have bit the dust already. Kids are taking a massive hit mentally and some will struggle going back after all this time. My mates kid is really struggling at the minute, normally an outgoing footy mad kid. Now he’s panicking whenever his mum leaves the room. All serpation anxiety bought on my this bollocks. If there’s ever a man that should not be kept from sporting events and a few scoops it’s biggish Dave. Must be twatting your head pal. Get yourself over to the seaside for a couple of scoops. Poulton or summet then jump back on train. I’m sure trafski would be up for that from your end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deane koontz Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Can't grumble everyone is healthy. Just been ticking over getting things done and a daily routine of fresh air/exercise too If I'm being honest there's part of me that's enjoyed it which is somewhat troubling 😂 Edited August 16, 2020 by deane koontz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
