| Inevitable! Followed by planning for the unknown. | Living on my own: all social activities, leaving no structure to my week. | Gardening and walking for outdoor exercise. I made a list of jobs to motivate me but after 6 weeks was left with the ones I was not keen to do; threw the list away! | Not a life I would advocate! You begin to feel distanced from all routines and social interaction, so easing of restrictions was welcome, now more regulations again is daunting. | Spontaniety in what I do - meals with friends without counting numbers round the table and giving someone a hug! | In spite of my age (84) I am fit and well so was able to remain active. In the early days I drove the car 20 - 30 miles a week to keep the battery going! |
| The unknown was slightly worrying however I didn't think it would last for many weeks. So long as I could get basics from shops I thought I'd be ok but miss my family. | I've missed my one to one Pilates sessions and my time with my personal trainer. | I've caught up with TV and read magazines. I've sorted drawers, cupboards etc that I never had time for. I've also been sending emails to WI members. | I've been ok in lockdown. Quite enjoyed the slow pace of life. | Get back to exercise. On my own it's been pretty boring. | Having MS and relying on help to go out I have felt that others are now experiencing a little my different lifestyle, although mine has been even more difficult since March. I liked the change in nature and the litter free roads when everyone stayed home. |
