This has been our first full day of lockdown. Ally and Cat continued to work from home and David continued to study online for his MSc. James and I had plenty to get on with in the garden and the house. I used my exercise bike and later joined Cat in an online yoga class which was really good. But although we were all busy, it was still very strange to realise that we are not allowed to go out anywhere (apart from going out for a walk for exercise or grocery shopping if required). I don’t think that I have ever really appreciated all the places that we have always been able to visit until now - mountains, seaside, cinema and parks, to name but a few.
Amid all the worry about Covid-19 there have been many kindnesses which show the better side of human nature. In our area the pre-schoolers have been painting rainbows to display in their windows and drawing chalk pictures on their driveways. All the neighbours are looking out for each other, especially those who are most vulnerable, and picking up groceries for them. But of course the most difficult work is being done by front line health care workers. We have family and friends who are doctors, nurses and pharmacists, and they are under huge pressure just now. We are so grateful for their hard work and dedication.
