Over the last few months all jobs, including those 'I'll eventually get around to it' have been done, garden planted, weeded etc. to within an inch of it's life, not a single item remains to be ironed, all cupboards in the house cleared of rubbish and tidied OH with help from friends and relatives has even built the balcony leading off the bedroom he's been promising for ages so now what do we do? It's pouring down with rain and more forecast on the way so a good long tramp is out of the question, it's not worth going for a drive because we can't visit anyone or go fo a meal or even a cup of coffee. I'm not a great telly fan and I've read so many books I feel my eyes might pop out. Our Pub in the Barn is on hold because of the restrictions so no gatherings to look forward to, friends are phoning up and they're as bored witless as us so what do we do? Are you feeling the same or are you still in an optemistic mood?

I feel quite jealous. We have a pile of young adults in the house (post uni, and attending uni remotely), so the house is in a state of attrition - more stuff gets broken faster than I can fix things, and my motivation to do any more has drained away.
I am finding it tough to get the enthusiasm to fill the hole with exercise and lose weight etc - which I need to do as I am on the vulnerable list.
On the plus side, I am fairly regularly meeting up with friends for socially distant walks in the woods. Just bought some tickets to visit a sculpture park for the next one.
Also my social life has developed in a new direction. I now have a fairly regular stream of Tele G&T calls, where I get shit-faced with mates over a video call, while agreeably talking [expletive deleted]. Don't need to worry about transport/driving, and one can catch up with friends/family further afield. A few weeks ago it was with cousins in Toulouse. This Friday it is some old friends in Glasgow. SWMBO not so approving of the state I get into.
