How's the lockdown going for everyone ?

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Is it wrong to be enjoying the lockdown, as a key worker I'm riding my bike to work every day on lovely quiet roads, every morning and afternoon are like riding on a Sunday in the 1980s, I haven't enjoyed motorcycling so much for years.

Nah,I'd take the positives and bin the guilt trip. There's little enough feel good factor about.

I worked from home for a week while I had a cough, I really didn't like it, I need the separation between work and home.

Theres a few furloughed (or idle rich..) wandering about on the quiet lanes with their ipods going in a world of their own.. Keep an eye open for silly barstards in the middle of the road who wont hear you..

I've come across a few people wandering down the middle of what would normally be busyish roads, I'm also really careful approaching junctions, a lot of drivers are assuming the roads are empty and not looking properly.
I'm only going to and from work though, I'm not using the fastest route, but the one I am using is about the same distance but has some nice bends on it.

I'm starting to get a bit bored, usually at this point I'd go for a ride along the coast road on my bike, or go sailing if the wind is up, but I'm not allowed any of those things now.

The weekend is coming and I have no idea what I'm going to do.
I can manage a couple of weeks of being only in the house and garden, but after that it gets a bit much.

Weather is good so been doing some stuff that would otherwise be left but I’m starting to get a bit bored now. I don’t like very warm weather so it’s a perfect temperature for me for biking and I so miss not being out on the bike. Every day like this counts in the UK.

It’s very selfish though when people are fighting for their lives and being confined to home won’t last forever. Difficult not to feel a little guilty for even wishing to be doing something else.....

Key worker but spending 90% of my time WFH.
Calls etc keeping me busy but having to share the house with missus who's doing similar is a pain. Fortunately last few days with the nice weather, she's chilling outside.
I did take an hour outside today tidying up her Giant XTC MTB as it's in a pretty sorry state....

Just found out Im now eligible for priority booking with Tesco, which will help no end. Not immediately though as I have just stocked up. (Not panic buying stocked up, just sensible levels of stocked up)

That sounds like a good result and at least you don’t have to worry about getting food and provisions in.

Yes, just the slow creeping insanity of not seeing any living human people to worry about now. In actual fact not seeing people is probably going to keep me sane...

Human beings are overrated!! You do know that everything makes more sense when you’re having a conversation with yourself........and you tend not to be able to have a very effective argument either.

Keep smiling!

OI!!! Keep the noise down in here,

Some of us are still working and apparently although I could work from home, its good to have my face around the factory

Because they keep building those emergency hospitals we have to stay open, so although most of the people have been furloughed a skeleton staff will have to carry on

[PitaNaanRoti]

I f*ckin hate bank holidays.
Get in the way of being able to sort and do stuff thats needed urgently for next week!
Bad enough with shortened opening hours as it is without this bullshit.

Crust you have my admiration and thanks as do all those who continue to keep the wheels turning in so many ways!
