What do you miss the most?

Tougher than I was expecting, he might spend most of his time on the xbox thingy or on his phone but he was here with me. I am not the only parent having to do this. We have to do the right think and he is coming up 18 so I am glad he still wants to come over every weekend and spend time with his old man :)

The father of two of my grandchildren is having to do similar for the foreseeable future mate but with no visits at all at the moment (he works on the buses), just face time, must be killing him, but at least we have that type of technology, would be really horrible otherwise.
 
Letting the niece and nephew beat me on FIFA, and then listening to them arguing about who plays me next. Followed by the post-match meltdowns and tears (that's from me, not the kids), and me saying I'll never turn the Xbox on again if they carry on misbehaving...until they come round again and the process starts all over again. I miss that so much.
 
Booking my trips due to the uncertainty. I’d like to have escaped to mainland Europe in April but that’s out of the window. Also, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Finland, Ireland and Bulgaria (all of which planned for 2020) are almost certainly off.

It gives me something to look forwards to.
 
The normality of life in general..!

All the things you never gave a second thought to which are now not accessible..

In no particular order..

Visiting family and friends and receiving visitors to the house
Mixing with people in public places
Waking up on a match day and looking forward to going to the game
Even the miserable cold, wet Monday mornings having to drag yourself out of bed to go to work..

There are 4 of us at home and I couldn't wish for 2 better kids.

I feel really sorry for them both though..

My son is coming up to the end of his first year at Uni and has worked really hard on his coursework and my daughter is finishing college where she too has made me and her mum very proud of the effort and application she has put in this year..

My daughter is due to go to Uni in September

We both worry about what the short term future holds for them both..

I've read a lot of stuff on here by a lot of people over the last few weeks and I must admit it has given me a lot of comfort knowing that there is a lot of positivity out there.

Things can weigh on you a bit, especially when it is a daily occurance but taking a day at a time and knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel keeps you going...

Sorry, i've wandered off the thread a bit..

Look after yourselves and your loved ones and hopefully in the not too distant future we can look forward to getting back to showing the Dippers, Rags, Arse and Spuds how the game of football should be played..!
 
I had started coming out of my bubble,got to 3 games,was looking foward to more,i am fine where i am but was enjoying getting out
 
Going for the odd pint just recently but we are all in the same boat so you don't feel you are missing out on anything too much as long as we can go out for a walk. It that stops it gets difficult.
 
Has most have mentioned: the normality of life.
I know it gets a bad press as it’s ‘not exciting’ (like swinging off a tree into a ravine in south east Asia) but of late I’m fully signed up...I want this clockwork back.
Despite growing up socially anxious I’ve grown into myself and consider myself a social animal...and these times are proving how much we all are.
Can we really see a future where we can’t congregate like we did? All our best memories are from times like that: sweaty nightclubs, mind blowing gigs, festivals, sporting events.
Just being tactile with people you like.

This air of fear and paranoia isn’t good fir any of us but I’m hoping we’ll take great lessons from it and return more empathetic.

And yes...a packed pub with that atmosphere you cannot buy.
 
She just upped and vanished.
