How is everyone coping?

As a family we've lost two people, that's obviously been the worst thing.
My Uncle Reggie's funeral is on the 17th, only 30 people allowed & obviously no wake, it's going to be a strange day.
Other than that, it's just been boring, worked all the way through so nothing different for me, weekends on the other hand have been shit but it is what it is.
Would have liked to have been furloughed but didn't get the chance.

Same thing happened to me last year. It feels great doesn’t it? I feel ten years younger!

I put a bit back on over Christmas and New Year that I need to start shifting. I’m going to give up carbs through the Spring, then hopefully the gyms will be open and the weather will be decent to up food intake and reintroduce carbs when I can get back on the weights.

The old Olympic gym in Patricroft has been taken over,called Gudlift now,and looks even better than than the previous gaff.No better place to train in the area IMO.

I'd say I've coped pretty good really. I'm used to seeing my side of the family and friends via WhatsApp, that's the same. Hadn't planned on flying back this year so no real disappointment there.

Negatives - My mother-in-law is in a nursing home and we haven't been able to see her since last January. In Nov they had an outbreak of covid. All but 2 people, that's 58 patients and all staff, have had it. They're not saying how many have died just that they've had several. MIL seemed to be doing well but we were told Tues she now has pneumonia.

I’d rather be wheelchair bound for the rest of my life than do 1 second of yoga.

Thanks mate, had some really good news with work so takes a lot of the stress away of keeping things going.

Gonna have a drink tonight and chill out!

Sorry to hear that mate, funerals during lockdown with no wake are very difficult.

RIP to Reggie, I hope you still all get to give him the send off he deserves.

Well it has been kind of tough, there is the boredom of not being able to do much and to be honest it is all becoming a chore. I stay in bed until 11 now just to make the day shorter. I then just look out the back window for an hour or so. I'd watch TV but it is broken and the batteries in my radio are flat. To try and brighten up diner I sometimes have toast rather than a normal sandwich and then it's the afternoon. Not much happens then either but if you have looked out the window in the morning there is no point in doing it again in the afternoon, that would be silly. At the moment I am trying to make a bird table but I haven't got a saw, or a hammer so it is quite hard to do. I don't get any birds in the garden anyway so I don't know why I am making one to be honest. The evenings are the worst though so I often go to bed early but thank you for asking anyway.

Post of the month ..will you reappraise and give it a like, like I did?

We live on the main drag to the nature reserve watching "Covid Walkers" pass bye two by two by three by four.
Pre-lockdown we never saw a sausage and they only walk past now because they can't : /

What we will need is a national memorial to all of the people we have lost covid and non covid , that will come some time , hopefully will help a lot of people
