YES!!!

Slowly but surely. Anybody have any plans on the agenda? I must admit I’m most excited about the Zoo’s opening, thinking to go visit Colchester Zoo next week!

I’ve realised my only non outdoor/park activity apart from shopping over the last 3 months has been visiting the garden centre 😂 Although I find that I’m still spending 85% of my time on the internet, especially on this forum!

You would not believe the amount of new pots and plans that have sprouted in the garden out of nowhere. I am pretty excited about some of them though, I’ve started a nice little vegetable patch, all my herbs are doing well, and it looks like some tomatoes and strawberries are beginning to take some shape! Maybe this will help me beat the queues at the veggie shop, who needs you Tesco? Lockdown Gardening Gertrude out here!

Can any of you relate? So many friends of mine have really taken to looking after their gardens, and doing lots of home DIY – it’s brilliant.

So, what’s open around you and will you be going? I’ll let you know how the Zoo goes next week! Wonder if it’s much different to a normal outing there.

Woah! This article is crazy! It’s about a woman breaking lockdown rules to have sex!

It’s a mad world we live in when it’s illegal to sleep with someone outside of your own household or ‘bubble’. This whole lockdown thing is very controversial isn’t it?

What are your thoughts on the subject?

It’s funny, I think I saw a topic on this exactly dilema on this forum

Check it out and tell me what you think!

I don’t know what to think anymore. I mean, the new rules are so confusing as well! As far as I understand couples from different households can now meet up, and stay round each other’s houses, but only if they live alone? Is that right?

It’s such a strange world we’re in at the moment, very peculiar. I’m still waiting for someone to pinch me so I can wake up from this dystopia… a girl can dream!

This has honestly been the strangest year of my life, I’m sure many of you can resonate with that. I truly am getting fed up with this lockdown, and not just the lockdown but also this virus, I hope there is an end to all this madness sooner rather than later!

I’ve always been slightly introverted, therefore enjoy my own company a lot – reading, writing, housework, looking after the kids – this has always been the norm for me. So at a time when many people I know are picking up new hobbies at home, I feel like I’ve had many home hobbies to begin with.

I could never imagine that I’d be yearning for more socialising, being one of the first in my group to cancel plans to stay at home with a hot cuppa coffee and a good book on the weekend once the kids have gone to bed!

I vow to be more socially ‘active’ when this is all over.

Organise more meetups…

More coffee dates, brunch hang outs, evening dinners, theatre shows, museum walkabouts, holidays… and dare I say, dancing! This lockdown has made me feel older than ever, I want to reclaim some of my youth and not just feel like a wife and a mother. Hopefully not too long now huh?

In the meantime I’ve found a lot of enjoyment out of joining in online forums to chat to women who may be feeling the same. Especially this one Lockdown Love 

Check out this interesting article in the Metro, discussing “Coronavirus UK: Is lockdown affecting our sex drives?”

It’s an interesting subject, I myself must agree this whole lockdown thing must be having an impact, it makes sense that if people are a little more stressed out than usual that the stress hormone would decrease your libio significantly, perhaps the opposite is true for some people and being intimate is another way to forget about the drama of this pandemic!

Thoughts?
