It's Monday today and the start of the second week of being locked down here in the UK. We can go out for essential shopping (infrequently) and for exercise once a day but always maintaining social distancing of at least 2 metres.
I don't think we'll be venturing out today - the weather changed over the weekend and there are currently grey clouds threatening rain. Thankfully we're still in our house which has lots of stairs so no excuse for not being active. We can just keep going up and down a few times during the day.
Hubby has taken over the cooking during these strange times. He usually does more of it than me but as I'm keeping household chores ticking over and organising the shopping he agrees it's fair for him to cook. We're managing ok so far. We have a Hello Fresh delivery each week which takes care of 3 meals completely and we were well stocked up to fill in the missing days.
I have an online shop coming on Friday and I spent part of this morning planning ahead and working out what essentials we need - orders are now being limited to 80 items which might sound a lot but it doesn't take long to add up.
I've just done an online walking video to make up for the missing outdoor walk.
We've been in touch with family again - keeping up with the WhatsApp groups is almost a full time occupation lol. But it's lovely that we can keep in touch. We had a video chat with Rory and his parents earlier and witnessed him helping himself to cereal from the cupboard. He seems to be having a growth spurt because he's very hungry!
They have been able to walk in the park most days which Rory loves, Nathan has been taking advantage of getting out in the garden:
Noah has been supervising the working from home!
We're all having to adapt to these strange times!
Strange times, indeed. We are doing our best to find a new normal here too. Our stores haven't limited the total number of items we can buy except limiting only one of certain things, like packages of paper products, bottled water... those things some people have been hoarding. Thankfully we have been able to get meat, bread and dairy products. All we can do is hang in there!

DeleteJust when I think I am getting the rhythm of this self isolation thing - the intensity of it changes again as the intensity of the virus continues to spread. We are under a "stay at home" order now in our State and it is punishable by fine or imprisonment. Yes, we can go to the store or get meds, or take a walk, but all those activities carry a level of risk so ... it is life now that feels like the story line in a end-of-the-world novel. What an experience. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks. You too.
