Friday 20th March 2020… the night the UK went into lockdown due to COVID-19.

It hardly seems real now does it?

After 441 days of being alcohol free, that night, I decided to have some rosé wine as life was changing. We didn’t know how long the pub would be closed so it seems like a great idea.

I spent the first day of lockdown with the hangover from hell!

Stop for a minute and think back to that time.

It hardly seems real…

I’d been off sick from work since the end of May 2019 after a 3 month spell from Sept to Dec 2018…. All of a sudden the world joined my new crazy, stay at home world.

I’d been made redundant on 29th February 2020, but I still wasn’t well enough to look for work. I was lucky I had my redundancy to see me through lockdown.

I was scared but a bit excited by the drama of it all… our first night in real lockdown saw a power cut in our village… we were all messaging each other, thinking that was going to be the next thing and we’d be stuck in our houses with no electricity…. Thankfully that never came to anything 😂

The world as we knew it, went on hold for a long time.

There was a time when we thought we’d never get it back and yet gradually we have.

Handshakes are no longer feared. Hugs are definitely back on the agenda.

I found an interesting article from Science Focus which discusses 9 lessons learned from the pandemic… I’ve put the link in if you’re really bored and fancy reading. 😂

Science Focus – COVID 4 years on

So many memories of such a strange life time and it does all seem like it happened to someone else. It seems so surreal.

Most of us are lucky that life today doesn’t seem any different than it was before COVID…. For those of you who lost family members or friends, or are suffering from long covid. I’m sure that’s not the case. May they always be remembered.

I had a an amazing sleep last night…. 7 hours and 45 minutes. I woke at 6.09am…. One minute before the alarm… I LOVE THAT!!!

It’s been a day of manifesting things just before they arrive…. Thinking of customers who phoned a few hours later, losing something only to find it the minute after I’d decided to buy a new one. It made me laugh all day.

These were all very interesting again… I swear the universe talks to me through FB…. Jeez, really, what chance do I have?!?! 😂

I love this 😂😂😂

I made my last Planthood meal tonight which was Lasagne soup.

It was really lovely. I have some for tomorrow, in a safe place where a thieving puppy can’t pinch it! 😂😂 Yes I put a lid on it mum!

So nothing news to report, another good day at work. Busy but calm and organised. Long may that continue.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
