Luckily the fence is concrete

I have enjoyed it mostly, felt anxious and scared at the beginning and when I’m in the supermarket and social distancing isn’t being adhered to and grumpy from time to time. More recently I’m experiencing it more as a gift to simply be and contemplate what It means on a deeper level for me. others, communities, society, the world and the planet. We are at a transformational moment at a global level for the first time in our lives. COVID has been a wake up call to see what we have created the good, the bad and the downright ugly, re-evaluate and work towards co-creating a better world, living in more harmony with each other and the planet.
Is this the world we created? Is COVID the natural consequences our collective myopia and self absorption? Are we reaping what we have sown? If so, what now?

I hate the reason for lockdown especially how it's affected people I care about, but I like there being less traffic and it being acceptable being in pj's on my day off. |

I enjoy working from home and spending the day with my dogs. Also, I’ve met (virtually) seven of the funniest, kindest, most caring women I’ve ever met. One I met last December at the MLS.
I hate it because holidays had to be canceled.  |

Well I've been out to make use of this phenomenal 40 year time warp.
Every day has been like a dull Sunday afternoon in 1980, before pubs open all day, and before Sunday trading.
Cycling has been incredible with such empty roads.
The silence! The sound of the birds! The blue sky!
But the lack of physical contact! It's been extraordinary. |

But what breaks my heart is seeing friends loose loved ones. |

Hate is a strong word, I don’t hate it, I find it frustrating not being able to see family and friends. Or do the simple things like going for a walk every day
But it’s nothing to complain about, a few wobbles here and there. There are so many more out there that are struggling with it every day on the front line, seeing the consequences close hand; or those that have lost people. I hope it’s over soon (well manageable) soon for their sakes |

Yes. That was the most painful moment for me so far, when a family member lost his sister. She died on her own in her bed at home and wasn’t found for two days. She was only 63 |

There is nothing to like about lock down because we are quarantined for a reason and that reason is people are dying out there and it makes me sad. I'm an outdoor person and very sociable and it's not doing my head much good. Yes, I've done jobs, gardening, read books but ultimately, I want to break free. |

I appreciate the reason for it and I abide by it, but I hate not being able to see my family and I find myself catastrophising and generally worry myself sick about them.
I hate the lack of touch, not just sexual but nurturing and soothing too. I hate the fact that my home is now my workplace rather than being my sanctuary and I hate that I've had to furlough someone who works for me and there's nothing I can do about it.
Yeah. Not loving it. |

Initially I hated it but now I like it, I like the new calmer pace and chance to take a break from the chaos of life. I wouldn't want it to go on forever, but I'm loving it right now! |

Some things do seem to be changing for the better. There's hope. |

We have discovered that some of our community are lovely people.
The NHS is amazing.
No football.
The negatives:
Exams cancelled
Shopping is now no longer enjoyable
Social life outside home is non existent
Can’t see friends
People are dying.

I sometimes forget there’s a lockdown because I’m still going to work as normal though work isn’t normal..
When you’re with people you’ve worked with for over 20 years, social distancing is easy to forget though we try to adhere to it.
My life on a normal day to day basis if the coronavirus didn’t exist is exactly like lockdown so lockdown is no big deal to me.
My only grievance is not being able to get an online delivery shop but that’s because of selfish people. |
