Colin & Linda MacDonald - 7th November 2020

My Changing Life
Pre Covid: Only teenagers chatted to people via electronic devices using video and earphones.
During Covid: I have become one of them.
Pre Covid: The daily grind of commuting to work and working hard.
During Covid: Rolling out of bed and getting straight into the office and working even harder, I do emergency planning!
Pre Covid: Walking the neighbourhood and only meeting dog walkers.
During Covid: Loads of folks out with no dogs taking exercise. Who are these people and who do they think they are
clogging up our streets!!!
Pre Covid: DIY jobs outstanding.
During Covid: Tick, I can even get the car in the garage.

In the beginning of lockdown it was quite enjoyable for me: Quality time with 2 teenage children, no commute to work and no pressure to socialise! Then reality bit, holidays cancelled, no extended family or friend visits and an inability to plan anything not to mention masks!
I now can not wait to get back to normal. Hurry up vaccine! But, please can I continue to work from home?
