What Personal Good Things

[tamaris]

Have come out of the coronavirus for you ? I have got in the right mindset and lost 10 lbs and sticking to a healthy eating plan. First time in years.
I really enjoy my walk each day and appreciate all nature has to offer.
I have cleaned my house thoroughly.
Learning new skills and diy.
I speak to friends each day, not now and again.
I am less anxious.

I know that we ( Me and Mr Bobbs) can stay in 24/7 together and still enjoy each other’s company, we go for our walk holding hands in our 70s, we do crosswords together ,we do a jigsaw on the dining room table ,leave it and go back to it, I think we appreciate each other more, we seemed always to be running here there and everywhere,

That's lovely Bobbi x

Garden is begging to be tidy, I’ve picked up my guitar again after about 5 years and I’ve started drawing again. I’ve rediscovered my teenage self ;-)

[royfromaus]

Wouldn't you be better using pencils or oils, Zacs?

My anxiety has got worse... there is less traffic on the roads for work. But I can't think of anything else.

[Zacs-Master]

An aussie and a Scot picking me up on my English, now there’s irony for ya. ;-)

[ladybirder]

Shouldn't you be picking up a spade Zacs? Nice day for it.

[Zacs-Master]

I was gardening yesterday, lb. Mrs Zacs has a day off today and it’s a close friend’s birthday so we’ll be sitting relaxing in it with a beer and a wine or three.

[Zacs-Master]

Not with our friend of course, just using it as an excuse!

Another one struggling for an answer. Its not terrible here but good outcomes? No. Its like saying a good outcome from the blitz was slum clearance.

My garden is so tidy - I'm enjoying every minute of therapeutic weeding in the sunshine, getting the greenhouse up to speed etc etc. Phoning/emailing friends and family much more often. Everyone saying hello (from a distance of course!) round the village. Far fewer cars and local RAF station not flying noisy helicopters over the village.

Also can't think of any goods. I am more anxious, I've put on 2lbs, my car is filthy, I miss pottering round the shops at the weekend and I hate my dining room being used as my office. The only positives are the cats are thrilled to have us at their beck and call all day now.

Not having a good experience to be honest. My mum has been unwell but recovering well and I've been quite unwell as well. Getting better though and not covid related so all good.

Had a few days off and started working again today. Little Tiggs is doing his ClassDojo home schooling so we're both busy. Just having a little break now.

I can't motivate myself to spring clean but will have a go at the weekend when hopefully I'm fully recovered.

Good for you Zacs. You've a lovely day for it if the sun is shining in Yorkshire as it is down here.
For myself I can't think of a good thing that has come out of CVD. It's stopped me getting another rescue dog for a start when the one I want is still languishing in kennels after SEVEN years.
I rescued a hedgehog on Sunday but that had nothing to do with CVD but I was so pleased to help it. It was lying in my garden in full sun, not good. So I got my daughter to take it to our nearest Wildlife Rescue. I phoned on Monday to hear it was attempting to climb out of its incubator and they would let me know once they had figured out what was wrong with it which could take several days. If it survives I'll have it back again.
Roger, who runs the rescue said a man had found a young fox cub with a glass jar stuck on its head. When the man tried to grab it he missed and the cub ran back down its hole. It could see where it was going but can't eat or drink obviously, poor thing. People leaving rubbish about grrrrh!
Oh I have thought of one good thing, old friends of many many years phoning each other to see we are all OK.
Have a nice day folks.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, we were looking at Rescue dogs too, lb.

It is indeed a sunny day here and due to be 18/19 deg.

Hope the hedgehog is OK.

[pixie374]

I hope you get your dog, soon, lb xx. We have been in touch a lot with each other, both friends and family, using house party... but it isn't quite the same.

Feeling much more relaxed-mrs FF and I no longer need to be having breakfast by 6am. I'm furloughed and mrs FF is working hard from home and is certainly not missing the 60-90 minute commute each way. Never any need to dash anywhere or rush to complete a task by a certain time.

Getting 60 minutes walk everyday and exploring new routes through country paths.

Not having to put a work suit on every day- can wear shorts or joggers or jeans or even stay in pyjamas for longer, depending on what we're doing.

Everyone seems to say hello when we are walking. Most seem equally relaxed.

The good weather helps of course. I'm sure we'd feel differently if it was pouring down.

But I do wonder how long we can go on. We can't see friends or family and can't even pop into the neighbours for a chat/glass of wine. It's hard not shake hands with people or hug them if you do meet them. What if someone in the family is taken very ill- we may not be able to get close to them.

I could cope with another month or so but will soon get desperate to see family. Not seen son since Christmas as had to cancel mothers Day get together.

So actually enjoying things personally but worried about health of family and longer term as I think this could go on for many months
