Apart from enforced cessation of my diary of events, shortages and agro at the supermarket, my lifestyle and attitude to life has changed not a jot.
But then I am very fortunate.
I have space at home, a nice garden, walks and exercise on hand. We are both retired and have good incomes, We have, more or less, ignored the restrictions and carried on with life. Our general catchment area has not been badly hit hence my local NHS trust has coped, (my mental health may well have gone to pot had my treatment been put on hold). I have no vulnerable people to worry about, so my risk assessments are easy.
Even the wife has managed to look half decent hair wise*
* and therein lies a life shock. A local radio prog was having a phone in from people saying what they missed most in lockdown, and for many women it was the hairdresser apparently. Costs were mentioned, and I exclaimed to Mrs Zee it seemed to be expensive.
She then told me her last visit to a hairdresser cost £135. Yes One Hundred and thirty five erfing quid!
WTF!!!!!
