Have reconnected with friends, got accepted for university after a lifetime thinking I wasnt good enough for it and have loved spending all this extra time with the kids. |

Being honest I can't think of anything positive that's happened, it's pretty much been life as normal for me, with all the restrictions in place that everyone else is (or should be) suffering too.
I was going a bit stir-crazy but a fairly significant event happened which really grounded me, and it made me realise that the current events are nothing compared to your real family life.

I have learnt to unwind and relax allowing myself some me time on days off instead of rushing around clock watching and visiting family. I miss my family but having free time is a blessing to me and was much needed. |

Passed my NEBOSH GC, improved a helluva lot on my guitar, and I'm fitter than I've been since my early twenties. If the golf courses re-open and I can get my handicap back down to category 1 I'll retire from 2020 a very happy man.
Up yours, covid. |

In alot of ways life has been simpler as in no work stress, which has made me reevaluate what's important. So looking to change jobs for an easier life. Unfortunately no one is advertising or taking on just now but that's understandable |

I accepted a job I really wanted at the end of February. I started it just as lockdown began and I had to have some really difficult conversations to furlough people I'd litterally just met.
I am however very grateful to be there because I was on a fixed term contract that had ended. Without it I dread to think where we would be now.
