We can find ourselves new hobbies, spend a lot more time with our family/whoever we are living with, and this whole situation is possibly preventing pollution as everywhere is less busy.

The population will definately increase in the end of 2020 to 2021, everyones bored and probably will have babies.

The NHS staff will hopefully have their workload cut due to the weekend revellers being in lockdown,so less drunks and fighters to be dealt with.Also the clean air and quietness is quite nice when walking dogs early in the morning, and the family all being together !!! lol at that one, but seriously it makes a nice change.

I'm at home with my baby and my husband who's working from home, we have everything we need, my parents and grandmother are all safe and close by. I know some people are having a bad time and I'm sorry, but I'm very happy right now.

I sort of like the vibe of London being really creepily quiet at night time

I don't think NHS staff have had their workload cut at all.

That sounds ok to you..


But if I was outside waiting while you Swan around in your own peaceful utopia, I'd be banging on the window shouting "hey you, get a shift on eh"

Someone i just spoke to complained about a woman in a local shop chatting on her phone in there while people were waiting outside ~ i said they were probably shopping for someone else elderly ~ have a thought ~ we all need to be patient here.

That’s a great point .. I used to get miffed if somebody breezes past when I open the door for them or same kind of thing if I’m driving and let someone through and they just drive past.. but my bruv in law suggested there is no point worrying about someone who may have just been preoccupied or super stressed about something ..

There will be more staff available for the Covid19 virus as they will not have the weekend drunks etc , maybe I should have added that.they wont need to do both hopefully

It’s kinda ironic that I’m usually lusting after things I can’t afford and now we have the money but are too scared to go shopping ...

At least they’ll be helping people who will be appreciative rather than the usual aggressive, abusive drunks ..

not to come across as ageist but honestly fun things to do in house is different for older and younger generations

older generations: board games, puzzles, crossword puzzle, reading a few good books, having movie marathons of classics

younger generations: playing video games on PS3/PS4 or PC, creating your own music festivals/fiction talent shows with wordpad, bit of karaoke singing by yourself, i mean on your own you can go as wacky with singing/dancing as you'd like to your fave tunes, reading comic books, watching tv series, movies


what i'm currently doing: busy with my hobby gardening, but also as of last night began watching star trek: Enterprise again, reading cookbooks, and participating in eurovision fan contests, so lots of listening sessions for those which is a good distraction for me :love:
