What Have You Missed Most During Lockdown?

[golfbettingsystem]

Finally managed to get some Chinese food delivered last night after what seems like an eternity, it was divine! What have you missed most during the last few weeks?

[allaboutthebets]

Socialising with friends and family. Simple things like going out for a meal, going the cinema, nights away, taking our young son to play places. Our Chinese have been delivering for 6 weeks or so, we've had quite a few

Decent cappuccino. But after a month bought Brikka coffee maker and Nespresso milk foamer and now i can keep coroning for few months more.

Quite lucky where we are in that it’s rural and plenty of walks to do with the kids to keep them semi-occupied. Not seeing friends and family is painful I agree, only so much you can do with Zoom etc.

Quite jealous of the takeaway situation, although saved me a few quid in the meantime in these tough times!

My wife’s keen on coffee so got a fairly good machine at home that’s seen a lot of action. Mind you, still miss actually going out for a coffee every now and then

We have lots of walks near us and canals but a toddler gers easily bored. Will be interesting sending him back to nursery.

True. Missed it more at start though. Now kind of got used to it. My office is in nature area so moved my morning coffee there, instead of the usual coffee place.

I have missed being able to visit my 86 year old mother in New Zealand!

I've missed being able to wander down to the local parks and watch amateur football on a Saturday afternoon.

Having 'worked from home' for years now most of this hasn't been too different. I have walked my dog every morning like normal and bumped into the same people every morning, distancing obviously, so that was always helped. I was missing the pub and my friends and still am missing friends but starting to really not miss waking up feeling like death.
I think overall normality is what I'm missing and in the UK it seems like we haven't had a good run of it for years. Forget anyones political leanings but we had the big crash with labour and it seemed people wanted change, and we didn't really get it with a joint government, then we got a tory government who then gave us the brexit vote. so after thinking Cameron was going to give us some steady years he went and we all know what happened with May etc until December. As I said FORGET leanings but all of a sudden Boris was in, Brexit was done, 5 years of the tories was certain and all uncertainty about what would happen was finished. There was talk of Boris being PM for 10 years easy, with a crap opposition, the public behind him, brexit done it was finally time to sit back and enjoy some settled years, which we did.... for a month.
Then this whole thing kicked off. God, I just really crave normal, whatever the hell that was

I've missed dancing with a partner. I usually dance every night of the week and solo dancing over zoom is just not the same. Probably won't be back for a long time either considering it's impossible to physical distance.

Well, I have missed the obvious things like going out to restaurants, cinema, bars, short holidays etc. On the other hand I started to appreciatie the small things in life more than before. Just go for a ride with my bike, fishing with my children, working in my garden. I am glad I woke up.....

I lived under a dictatorship until I was 18 years old. At times, this locked down felt very much like that, so I would say the things I missed the most were the little freedoms we take for granted e.g going out for a walk when I felt like it.

I have not missed restaurants or cinema or going to big shopping places, in fact I don't think I will be too keen on going 100% back to normal. I suppose this down time period made realized what is more important.

I miss just going a evening out with the missus. Have a nice dinner, go see a movie and then hit the casino.
Also, just walking around freely without having to worry about some a**hole invading your private space and acting offended when you ask them to keep their distance.

Honestly, I miss sports a lot.

As a spectator and a player.

I'll be honest, I haven't really missed this either.. In fact, I'm liking the amount of money I'm saving right now. The positive is that once everything goes back to normal I will be far less likely to spend money on stupid things. I think a lot of people will be the same, which means the economy may take even longer to restart.

I agree with these points, it has certainly taught a lot of people that their discretionary spending is easier to slow down.

This may lead to more available for entertainment, but many more are realizing they can find more entertainment at home, on the net etc and it may have a positive affect on our industry, but time will tell.

Missed the gym at first too, and like you for the routine as much as the exercise. Started jogging outside instead and really enjoying the fresh air I must say. Bought some dumbbells and have some HIIT workouts on DVD so have a weekly routine now which is bringing the motivation back and slowly starting to erode some of the excess baggage!!
