Title: WHAT ARE YOU MISSING MOST?
Post by: steve on May 04, 2020, 19:47:10
What you missing most of all in this lockdown then?

We've missed a holiday in Scotland. Really missing a decent walk in the countryside and I'd love a dirty breakfast in a greasy spoon. Before Indian jumps in with his idea of a dirty breakfast mine is bacon, eggs, mushrooms, beans, tom's, hash browns, toast and a big mug of tea, mmmmm. My Mrs is trying to keep me alive so I'm not really allowed.  ;)

Missing nothing really!! Might shock a few ...
We used to have 3 month close season 
Used to get all jobs in those 3 months for freeing up fishing days
Can do a bit of walking with the dogs now along the Trent spotting fish areas
Drinkwise not bothered really my days are over for that
So not much really
Miss the lads and the bank side banter
And the weekly visits to the tackle shop
But I have my health! So that's one thing we would all miss...especially those who have passed too soon ..
:'( :'( :'(

Thought your idea of a "dirty" breakfast Kev would include plenty of lube. 😀

Must say its been such a long time since I saw you all and miss the banter and friendship of everyone.

Missing eating out and simply being able to go somewhere in my car to sit and "walk" about be it coast, country or anywhere to people watch. ( Not that sort Mike).

Gardening on one leg is fun...not. which just adds to my frustrations.

A good side of this is how many people stop and talk when on daily exercise walks ( at social distance of course). Similarly the clap for carers session on Thursday nights usually end up with neighbourly conversations which is nice. An increase in community spirit is growing.

ON the work front and working from home has resulted in even more laptop work and digital meetings of various forms. Unable to hold face to face sessions means a lot longer on phone or talking to laptop as you try to engage people and explain things. BLOODY NIGHTMARE and so frustrating.

Missing family and grand kids as well.
