All well here Tom, thanks.

Lockdown doesn’t effect me much, since retiring and moving more rural my days consist mostly of walking and exercising a very demanding Border Collie

Due to our location we have all the space and choice of routes we need although we do miss our trips up the hills as that would entail a drive up to the Pentlands risking the wrath of the Edinburgh polis who are more visual than they ever were.

QuIte annoying that someone reporting their neighbour for COVID infractions will get a quicker response than someone reporting a burglary as a friend recently found out.

Yesterday was quite sunny with a nice gentle breeze and I said, "What a beautiful drying day".

I need some male comany.

Also, my brain is exhausted.

During lockdown I seem to be perpetually connected to something that bombards me with information. The telly is always on, usually a news or documentary channel, and if not that it's something fascinating on the radio. I'm always checking my phone, emails, WhatsApps, laptop, Google, Wikipedia. I have some wireless headphones so when I go out on my bike I can listen to a podcast....

I'm over stimulated. I need to veg out.

I need to stare vacantly into space, mouth open, drooling a little while absent-mindedly scratching my knackers.

Ah... Where has that sweet boy gone?

Covid has a lot to answer for.

t's crazy Tom, before this last year i was out and about working, back and forwards to Germany on a weekly basis, at least 3 in every 5 weeks. If in the UK i'd be working in Derby, Washington, Bristol plus a few other locations. I was due to go and work in Hungary, flights booked etc. then Covid struck followed by lock down. Since then i've been working from home and luckily as busy as ever but it's driving me mad.

The strange thing is that on Monday i had to go to Derby for a briefing but it felt so weird. Not scary, just not normal. It got me thinking about how we should be as free beings but the simple things like shaking someone's hand, watching the formation of words from someone's lips, the smile on their faces, all but gone.

Sorry for the depressing turn Smiley

I find it difficult to hear what people are saying because I can't see their mouth.

I can't start conversations with a smile so people are often defensive.

From the nose up I look like an axe murderer.

I took Mrs Red to the dentist in the car the other day and it was like an adventure.

PS- The dentist wasn't actually in the car.

Totally get the background impact this has. Im not depressed in any clinical sense of the word but im way off my gamenfor want of a better expression.

Worse part for me is how many things i miss that i never did anyway.

That's it precisely Glen. I would probably never have bought you dinner but now I'm pissed off because I can't.

Well, there's nothing macho about having dirty clothes I suppose.

You make a good point about the internet. Too much of it isn't good for you.  Regardless, very much enjoying your musings on here.

Skippy!

Every time you pop up I think of little Johnny down that well.

How is lockdown affecting your life and what do you miss most?

I was looking at the documentary section of a TV app and there was a choice of 647 documentaries. I couldn't choose one.

When I was young we used to turn the telly on and watch whatever was on, one programme after another. Very rarely did we actually change channels, especially since you had to get up and walk to the telly to do it and there was only one other channel anyway.

If you went to the pictures you would often walk in half way through, watch the end and then watch the start of the second showing walking out at the point you came in.

Also, the film only changed once a week so if you liked it and you could afford it you went and saw it again.

I saw a fallen tree with moss that was almost luminous today.

I've just been watching a news item about a car crash victim who had a hands and face transplant. Part of the story warned that he would need anti-rejection drugs for the rest of his life.

Now I know that the human body constantly renews it's cells, so why wouldn't the spare parts eventually become his?

Are you still running Tom.  Just worked out I haven't been running for 7 weeks.  The country park where I normally run has been flooded on and off since Christmas, but that is likely just an excuse.
I have still been getting out on the bike, but even that has been limited at times by the floods.   

I have definitely slowed down too much over lockdown and need to start getting out and getting more stuff done.  The kids are still getting looked after, but things beyond that have definitely suffered a bit the last few weeeks. 

Right going for a run in a bit.  Reduced circuit given I don't have a kayak.
