The prospect of being locked up is very daunting for many, the thought of not leaving the four walls that for the majority is a safe place can be scary. I would dread to think what it’s like being a position where being in your own home isn’t a safe place and I hope that the people who are in that position can find an escape. But when we went into lockdown just under 3 weeks ago I could have taken one of 2 approaches. Sit inside and mope or sit inside and have fun. I think I’ve gone for the latter.
This week has brought a lockdown birthday, trying new things and generally relaxing. The beginning of the week was the “official” start of the Easter break as we know it, so what do most do on the start of the holiday?! – well I started French on Duo Lingo. So far so good apart from when I write the answers in Spanish. I’ve completed the first few tasks. 🤓🤓.
Tuesday was eventful to say the least, it was my housemates birthday! Who knew that you could keep a surprise online party secret, decorate the front room and get so drunk that you sustain a dancing injury! The supermarket mission (it’s now definitely more like supermarket sweep each time I go) led me to buying happy retirement balloons rather than happy birthday balloons but I think they had the same effect. Over all a good day was had but I don’t think neither of us felt fresh on Wednesday.
This week has also seen me get out on the bike and do metafit a lot more. Hopefully over the next few weeks I will see some benefit. I’m going to attempt a 9 day detox from tomorrow with lots of new healthy recipes to try so we will see how that goes. You can sense a theme for next weeks blog – detox – is it worth it?
So how’s lockdown treating me – other than the lack of social interaction in a face to face manner I’m coping pretty well – I feel privileged that I can say that.
Remember to reach out to people if you need to. Someone is always a phone call away. If you haven’t spoken to someone in a while drop them a line. You never know how much it could mean to someone.
